All the previous Peterborough United promotions - Posh have not sealed the deal by winning a home game for 47 years!

It’s been 47 years since Peterborough United last clinched a promotion by winning a match at London Road.

Posh have won promotion eight times in their 61-year Football League history, but only the 1973-74 team sealed the deal at home.

Posh have two chances to match that feat. A League One win over Doncaster Rovers at the Weston Homes Stadium tomorrow (April 27, 7.45pm kick off) or a home draw against promotion rivals Lincoln City on Saturday (May 1, 3pm kick off) will clinch a top two spot and a return to the Championship.
