Peterborough Sports To Use Kettering's Ground On Saturday

 

Peterborough Sports's last home game of the season, against Darlington, will be played at Kettering.

Currently Sports are trying to bring their ground up to standard but have got behind with the work.

It was meant to have been finished by now.

Darlington are expected to bring a large following with them and so it was felt better to move it to Kettering.

Sports chairman Grant Biddle said: “This game was identified early in the season as one of the high-risk games.

“The situation has been magnified by the ongoing groundworks and the potential for a large following from Darlington with our reduced capacity.

“Safety and security remain paramount considerations so when you add to that a home game for Posh (Peterborough United) and Truckfest, you will understand the issues.

“The League obviously had some concerns and provided a range of options all of which have been considered with the relevant parties.

“All of these involved an element of compromise as well as goodwill from other parties.

"I can announce that, thanks to the cooperation of Ritchie at Kettering Town FC, the game will now take place at Latimer Park with Kettering being the nearest Category B ground to us.

“One positive is that there are some additional precious hours to continue the work needed at the ground."
