Peterborough United manager is delighted fans are coming back and a good chance Wimbledon fixture could be pushed back 24 hours next week
The Dons are at League Two side Barrow in a delayed FA Cup first round match tonight (November 26). If they win they tackle Crawley in a second round tie on Sunday meaning the Posh trip to Plough Lane will be pushed back 24 hours to Wednesday, December 2.
Lockdown is over from that day and South London, like Peterborough, has been handed tier two restrictions meaning 2,000 fans are allowed into matches.

Posh are expected to release details re fans admission into matches soon. The first match at the Weston Homes Stadium after lockdown is Tuesday, December 8 against West Ham United Under 21s in the Papa John’s Trophy.
Posh have 3,400 season ticket holders.
