History of the Torquay United v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough travel to take on Torquay United at Plainmoor on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Posh will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Torquay Utd. was back in October 1999, over five years ago, the Gulls carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.
