The first match I remember attending was Posh v Fulham in the League Cup in August 1980. We won 3-2.

I am a season ticket holder and expect to get to all games this season.

Pre-match: I set off at 10.45am and travelled by car with Letty, Wade and Paddy Kurt. I got to the ground at 3.05pm (whooops)

We'd been to the Forrester Arms and saw some strippers . . . great start!

We were all very optimistic ahead of the match and the new season.

Half-time report: Posh started the game very well with Boyd running the show.

The defence looked solid and Martin seemed to slot in with his team-mates well. Keates had a good chance from a free-kick just outside the area.

McLean and Mackail-Smith also started the game well, running their socks off as usual.

The 0-0 scoreline was justified but Posh were the better team.

Morgan, Boyd and Westwood stood out in the first half, nobody really played poorly.

At half-time I had my picture taken for this column and had a chat with a few fellow fans.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere was excellent in the Posh end but I didn't hear any new songs or chants.

Full-time report: The scoreline was not justified. Posh deserved at least a draw.

Keates had another couple of free-kicks with which he could possibly have done better and McLean had a great effort which the keeper did well to keep out. Charlie Lee also had a free header from a corner which he should have at least put on target.

The away support was fantastic, let's hope it stays that way for the whole season.

Posh man of the match: Craig Morgan was my man-of-the-match. He was solid from start to finish.

Post-match: Prediction for rest of the season? I think we should finish in the top 10 at least. Sixth is my prediction.

All in all a great day out apart from losing and the weather.
