Think this one may be our first truly poor away attendance.

Only way I can get there is a 6 hr coach ride.

It's one we've played at recently, although I thought we'd played their more than four times since 2009. I think we're in the old main stand, along the side of the pitch, as they moved away fans when they put seats behind the goal (although that was probably the case the last time we played there).

IN but not expecting a big following for this on given we've been to London Road a fair bit recently and we'll probably lose

Would be nice to get those numbers up, but obviously an away Boxing Day game is always going to be difficult for people. Hopefully we can get up to 800, especially now our performances are picking up.

I'm estimating around 786 sold now. Tickets go off sale at 5pm tomorrow due to Christmas; tickets can be purchased in person from Peterborough's ticket office for an extra £2.

Ended up as a rather disappointing 564.

I think the seat map was a bit warped, as I selected the rightmost seat of the rightmost block on the top row when purchasing my ticket, but ended up with the leftmost seat on the rightmost block. I also don't remember there being a vomitorium depicted near my block.

Whatever happened, it was our lowest attendance of the season so far.

564 is a poor effort. I was home by 7pm. Only clubs we may take less to are Bolton and Barnsley.

Yeah, arrived late and sat pretty much by myself to the left of main entrance. May have been low numbers (perhaps unsurprising on Boxing day), but in good voice.

Also suggests a few 100 ST holders purchase and then don't show. Saw empty seats at Orient, for example.

We didn't get close to selling our full allocation for Peterborough mind - we had an allocation of around 1,400 and the club didn't sell any tickets in the block towards the goal line.

Wouldn't be surprised if a small group purchase tickets and don't show up, especially with the change to the points this season: people buying tickets for the points to increase the chances of getting tickets for bigger matches. Northampton was similar to Leyton Orient, my estimate was around 1,399 sold and 'only' 1,285 turned up. Exeter sold out, with an allocation of 1,337, and 'only' 1,261 turned up. I can understand 10-20 people not turning up due to being ill (for example) - but not 100+ (5-10%).

I wanted to go but when I saw trains would probably be a nightmare on Boxing Day, just kinda gave up.

I don't think there were any trains on Boxing Day; that's a major factor as to why we didn't sell many tickets. Does seem a bit bizarre to not have any trains on Boxing Day, especially with all the sporting events that happen.
