Peterborough United planning move away from London Road

Wednesday 26th February 2020

Peterborough United are planning to move away from London Road to a new stadium built just across the other side of the river Nene.

The announcement comes as the League 1 side have reached an agreement with the council regarding the City Centre Development Framework which will see a phased approach to redeveloping an area known as the Embankment.

Details are scarce at the moment, but reports speculate that the stadium will have a capacity of 17,500 which will be expandable up to 23,000 should demand require it.

Early estimates put the cost of the project at around £40m, with the club being said to want to move as soon as the start of the 2022/2023 season - just 2 and a half years away.
