Peterborough United pledge to keep loyal fans in the picture as Covid-19 regulations change again

Posh worked hard on making the Weston Homes Stadium safe, secure and ready to admit a limited number of spectactors from this Saturday’s League One fixture with Swindon Town onwards (October 3).

The UK Government have blocked that scheduled return and indicated fans would not be allowed back into grounds for the foreseeable future, possibly not until next March.

Posh have over 3,500 season ticket holders for the 2020-21 campaign who are restricted to watching home matches on iFollow.

Posh are awaiting official confirmation of the latest rules and issued a statement to fans today (September 29).

It read: ‘The staff and co-owners of the football club watched the recent advice from the Government, which stated that pilot events to get supporters back in stadiums would be postponed and the intimation that crowds would not be permitted for the foreseeable future.

‘As a football club, we are currently awaiting confirmation from the regulatory bodies on the time frame of this latest announcement, but we wanted to make it clear to supporters that we will continue to engage, inform and ensure that fans are kept as much in the picture of the short-term future as we possibly can.

‘We know our loyal supporters will be anxious and seeking clarity of where that leaves them when it comes to season tickets. Once we have clarity as a football club, we will be in a position to advise supporters accordingly, which we will do at the earliest juncture.

‘A lot of work has gone into making the Weston Homes Stadium Covid secure with protocols updated on a regular basis. We feel we were ready to move forward with pilot programmes with the intention of supporters returning during October, but that is now no longer the case and we have to abide by the rules and governance issued.
