It's the FA Cup extra-prequalifying round - which many UCL Premier and Division 1 teams are involved with - obviously we weren't allowed to enter this season.
Ohhhh, just beat me to it !!

Someone asked on the site that cannot be named what the split was between home and away supporters.

I'm guessing we don't have an accurate breakdown, but have we got a rough estimate?

The match wasn't really advertised to Posh supporters in advance, and so I don't recall seeing any of their fans, apart from Barry Fry and some relatives of their players - which probably about balanced out with the people who arrived at the ground late and weren't counted in the attendance figure.

As Formic says, hard to tell as there's no segregation at this level, so all fans come through the same gate. As such I'd have said by far the majority of fans there were R&D Supporters (I recognised many old faces coming through the gates), with a small number of POSH Fans, Barry Fry, Ex-Players, and quite a few local managers/coaches of other teams dotted around too. I'd have said at least 85% Home Fans myself.

We're fortunate to have a great fanbase at this level, but we're not doing anything anyone else can't do with a clear vision, leadership, and most importantly volunteers and supporters at all levels.

I didn't close the gate until gone 8pm so there would have been very few of them, every time I was about to close up more people kept appearing round the coner.
