History and description<\/h3>\n

London Road Stadium has existed since 1913, but was initially nothing more than a small municipal stadium with one wooden stand and earth banking on the other sides.<\/p>\n

Peterborough moved in in 1934, and in the following years small improvements were made to the ground.<\/p>\n

London Road Stadium was bought by Peterborough in 1950, and in the next years new covered terraces were built behind both goals, followed by the opening of a new main stand in 1957 and a new terrace on the opposite side.<\/p>\n

London Road Stadium recorded its highest attendance in 1965 when 30,096 spectators attended an FA Cup fixture between Peterborough and Swansea.<\/p>\n

The stadium changed little until the main stand got converted into an all-seater in the early 1990s. A few years later, in 1995, the southern side terrace got demolished and replaced by a new all-seater stand.<\/p>\n

In the late 2000s, Peterborough made plans for the construction of a new all-seater stadium, but these were later abandoned. More recently, plans have been made for the gradual reconstruction of the stadium into a modern stadium, but little progress has been made thus far.<\/p>\n
