Peterborough Sports appear set to announce legendary former Stamford boss as new manager

Drury quit Stamford AFC in the summer after steering the club to a remarkable escape from relegation in the Southern Premier Division Central.

He joined Northern Premier League East Division side Matlock Town but resigned after barely two weeks, citing problems with recruiting players to commit to the travelling required.

Respected journalist Pete O’Rourke suggested on Friday morning Drury was now set to join Peterborough Sports who have just dropped from National League North to the Southern Premier Division Central.

Sports have now followed this up with a tweet with a map of both Peterborough and Stamford stating that an announcement is set to be made on Sunday at 10am as well as the line ‘a new era begins.’

Drury would be expected to bring a number of new players with him, many of whom appeared for Stamford last season. Star striker Leon Lobjoit has been tipped to move across to PIMS Park.

Sports have kept season ticket and matchday admission prices the same for next season despite relegation. Tickets are cheaper if purchased online in advance of matches.
