Posh fan here.

 

Bad luck Urchins, you deserved a draw.

 

We were poor. I felt particularly sorry for your goalkeeper, spilling that shot at the end as, along with the rest of your defence, he had played excellently for the rest of the match.

Did your forward need to handle the ball when he 'scored'? Looked to me as if he could have bundled the ball into the net without doing that.

 

I thought that your chant of 'You're not drinking any more...' was one of the best bits of spontaneity I've heard at a football ground.

 

Thanks for your hospitality and good luck for the future.

the goal was best seen from your end so we'll bow to you on the handball...in fairness none of us could have seen it but then we wouldn't would we...grin

 

I am going to be interested in the motd shots of the smith goal as I thought he was offside but it matters little....the fates called it and we are out and you are in the next round and good luck to you...

 

well done to you all for travelling....it was a long day...applause

The following report appears on another's Forum, I don't think a 900 programme print run was enough with a gate of 2500 - 3000 expected, I would have done 2,500 if Peterborough were in prior agreement to taking any surplus back to London Road with them for their Club shop at cost price:

 

Hornchurch 0 Peterborough 1

Attendance 2990

The ground was packed - new temporary terracing behind the restaurant end of the ground and smaller terracing at the windmill end of the ground.

All ticket, with HFC only having 40 tickets unsold, whilst Peterborough returned over 600.

Sold one hundred scarves and 32 badges.

HFC had a goal disallowed on 20 mins, and Peterborough scored the only goal in stoppage time when the ball bobbled and the keeper dropped it, and it was a simple tap in.

Programmes were

I'd agree with all of that although the "Get your mascot off the pitch" chant towards Dean Keates made me laugh more.
