Barnet endured a difficult campaign last time out. They finished 22nd but were not relegated due to the resignation of Macclesfield and the fact Dover’s results were expunged from the league, as well as the decision to deny promotion to clubs at tier seven of the pyramid.

The date in Posh’s pre-season campaign is the third that will see them play more than once. On Tuesday (June 22), back-to-back matches against Oxford were announced to go alongside the trips to both Swindon and Portsmouth taking place on July 31.

Tickets details will be announced by the home club in due course.

Posh’s pre-season schedule now looks like this: Bedford (July 10), Gillingham (July 20), Barnet x2 (July 24), Oxford x2 (July 28) Spalding (July 28) Portsmouth (July 31), Swindon (July 31) and King’s Lynn (August 3).
