History of the Peterborough United v Cheltenham Town fixture

Peterborough are ready to welcome Cheltenham Town to London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Posh.

The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was more than three years back, in December 2002, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division Two match.
