Peterborough v Grimsby

The Opposition

Peterborough have been almost play off contenders in the league ever since their relegation in the 04-05 season missing out last year by three places and only two in the season previous. The Posh hope is that this is their year and with the arrival of Darren Ferguson in January, who replaced former Mariner Keith Alexander in the dugout, that it’s the perfect formula for the Posh to return to the third tier of English football. With Barry Fry in the board room it would always be an interesting experience and no one could say it wasn't insightful when Ron Atkinson was let in to assist the then manager with helpful lessons and advice on how to improve the squad. The only problem was the show showed and created a rift between player’s managers and Big Ron alike making a nearly impossible working and playing environment. Most fans of the Posh would agree it didn't exactly show the club in the best light and many hope Fry will now take a back seat and see how Ferguson will lead the team this season.
