I have been supporting Posh for nearly 40 years. My first game was against Scunthorpe in 1968 when I stood with my father in the Enclosure which is where I now sit with my son Sam (15) as season ticket holders. I remember my first game vividly as a Scunthorpe player accidentally whacked the ball straight into my face - I was only seven, but I was determined not to cry even though it stung and we went on to win 3-2.

I followed Posh for years after with my father, during the 'Tommy Robson' era. I took a break to play cricket and bring up a young family only to return with a vengeance when Sam really got into football.

Initially like many kids he supported Man Utd, but I convinced him to see some real football. We are now totally hooked and we have seen all the pre-season games, yes even Hucknall Town, not missed a single home game, been to over half the away games and a couple of reserve games.

It has almost become an obsession and I hate it if I'm not at the game and get so nervous.

Pre-match: We left home at 1pm, parked in the Cherry Tree car park, went into Ladbrokes for a little flutter on a 1-0 Posh win with Craig Mackail-Smith or Craig Morgan to score, bought a t-shirt for a tenner and a programme in the club shop, and then into The Venue for a couple of pints with my brother-in-law.

We made our way into the ground at about 2.40pm to see the end of the warm-up. We have seats right near the dug-out. It's a great position, although a bit close to Darren Ferguson when he kicks the water bottle!

Ferguson is a neighbour of mine in Ryhall and spent time recently coaching our village under 14, 15 and 16s. He is a top bloke who gave great advice.

Half-time report: There were some nice flowing moves from Posh in the first half. We looked in control, but we hardly ever troubled their keeper. County posed no threat at all.

Atmosphere: Before the game it was pretty good, helped by the fact that Mackail-Smith signed a new contract.The fans were good in the first half, but dozed off a bit after the break until the final 10 minutes. County didn't bring many fans and the most excited they got was winning a corner, although to be fair they made plenty of noise throughout.

Full-time report: We didn't play so much football, but we did apply plenty of pressure and we were all over them in the final 10 minutes. County defended very well though. Our set-pieces were poor, but if one word summed it up it was 'frustrating'.

Post-match: I clapped the players off the field and then walked back to the Cherry Tree to see how much money I had left. I didn't hear it, but I was told there was some booing at the end. Idiots.

There has never been a better time to be a Posh supporter. We are a great club, have a great chairman, a great manager, a great team playing great football, so let's ALL get behind them and get out of this horrible league.

If I wasn't at the game: I would have been listening to the legendary Bob Burrows and Edwin Overland on Radio Cambs, but to be honest my nerves cant stand listening to the match on the radio so from now on Sam and I will be at every game, home or away.
