Darragh thanks Posh fans and hopes the club might attract new supporters because of the pandemic, plus latest season ticket news
Posh chief Darragh MacAnthony hopes the club do not lose fans because of Covid.
There are fears some supporters will have become used to not attending matches and won’t return.
There are also economic issues caused by lockdown, but MacAnthony said on his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast: “I’m hoping the pandemic and its consequences might actually help. Maybe some people will be so fed up with sitting indoors they will want a new hobby and will come to the football.
“I’m encouraged by how many loyal fans have stuck with us for next season. I thank them all for that.”
Posh hadsold over 500 season tickets for the 2021-22 season at the end of last week. The initial discount period runs until May 31 so Posh officials are confident there will be a surge in sales during that month.
Over 90% of 2020-21 season ticket holders did not ask for a refund despite seeing only one League One match live.
