Peterborough United Searching for First League Win Amid Heavy Squad Turnover
Worthing/Peterborough, September 2025 — Peterborough United find themselves in trying early-season waters in League One, facing up a difficult task of turning promising performances into wins as the club navigates one of the biggest squad overhauls in recent memory.
After an uninspired opening to the 2025-26 campaign, the Posh remain bottom of the League One table with just one point from their first seven games. The Real EFL+2Wikipedia+2 The most recent setback arrived in a 3-2 home loss to Huddersfield Town, a game in which Peterborough led for a good part of the second half before defensive frailties caught up with them.

Big names, big exits, big challenge
 
Manager Darren Ferguson has been forced into a radical rebuild this summer. The squad that came agonisingly close to automatic promotion and then narrowly missed out in the play-offs last season has largely disbanded. Key departures include Ricky-Jade Jones (who has left on a free transfer after rejecting several Championship offers), Kwame Poku, Hector Kyprianou, and loanee Jadel Katongo. The Real EFL+2Wikipedia+2 Only a few holdovers remain, such as Jed Steer and Archie Collins. The Real EFL+1
Ferguson has acknowledged the difficulty of replacing pace and experience, noting that while he is proud of the club’s model of developing talent, the sheer volume of outgoing players has left gaps. The Real EFL
Glimmers of hope, but too few points
Despite the turmoil, there have been signs of encouragement. Against Huddersfield, Posh carved open chances, scored twice, and showed attacking ambition, though defensive errors proved costly. Skipper Peter Kioso has expressed belief in the squad's potential, pointing to improved performances even in losses. The Real EFL+1
Additionally, the club has moved to bolster the squad. One of the most notable arrivals is 19-year-old Jimmy-Jay Morgan from Chelsea on a season-long loan. Morgan, who spent part of last season at Gillingham, is viewed as one of the key young attacking options. We Ain't Got No History
Looking ahead
The immediate priority for Peterborough United is clear: collect wins, build morale, and stabilise confidence. Next up is a home fixture against Wycombe Wanderers, offering an opportunity to not just gain points but also show that the reconfigured side can compete. The Real EFL+1
Off the field, the club continues to lean on its model of youth development and player sales, a strategy that has both been praised and criticised. Ferguson admits it’s what the club does, but now faces the challenge of doing it while also demanding better results on the pitch. The Real EFL
If Peterborough are to climb out of their early season hole, all elements must align — tactical discipline, cutting out defensive mistakes, and getting returns from the new recruits.

History (from Wikipedia)

The stadium was built and opened in the early 1890s, consisting of a single wooden stand with a capacity of just 250, and it was replaced in 1923 with a 650 seater. It was owned by the city council and taken over by The Posh following their formation in 1934. The council built brick dressing rooms and a committee room at the back of the wooden stand to support the club. These survived until the 1950s, when the North Stand was constructed.[2]

The two goal-ends were the next to be built. Many home fans had traditionally stood at the London Road End, so a covered standing terrace was constructed there just before the Second World War. A similar structure was built at the Moy's End at around the same time.[2]

Financial difficulties during the war years meant that the city council very nearly terminated the ground lease. Another local sports club almost took a 10-year lease, but 'The Posh' were saved in 1942 by two individuals who paid the £50 owed in rent by the club.[2]

In the 1950s, the council sold London Road to the club following a long-term lease, and it was at this time that major development of the ground began. In 1953, the Moy's End was refurbished with new covered terracing and a similar improvement was made at the London Road End just over a year later. A new stand, with 2,404 seats and standing room in the front, was constructed behind the old wooden stand in 1956 and opened in time for the 1957–58 season. The wooden stand was demolished, leaving a gap of 30 yards between the new Main (North) Stand and the pitch (the pitch was moved back the following season).[2]

A new standing terrace was then built at the Glebe Road (southern) side of the stadium shortly after the completion of the Main Stand. Four executive boxes, along with a television platform, would later be added to the structure. Floodlights were added to the stadium in 1960, with four pylons erected at each corner of the ground. Joe Richards, who was then chairman of the Football League, performed the switch-on ceremony. The first match in which the floodlights were used was against Arsenal in February 1960.[2]

Following the club's promotion to the First Division in 1992, the Main Stand was forced to undergo re-development. This was because the stadium's seated capacity was below the level required by the Taylor Report. To solve this problem, the stand's terraces were converted to seats, with 700 of these new seats were bought second-hand from Leicester City following the re-development of their Filbert Street stadium. Another 300 seats were taken from Millwall's stadium, The Den. Millwall were about to move into a new stadium themselves. With a capacity of 3,605, the Main Stand's facilities were improved to include a pub, conference areas and a retail shop.[2]

Due to increased support, a new stand was constructed on the Glebe Road side of the ground. The two-tiered South Stand, with a capacity of 5,000, opened in time for the end of the 1995–96 season. The Football Trust contributed roughly £900,000 to the project. The stand was initially sponsored by Freemans and then by Thomas Cook. It was then called the Norwich and Peterborough Family Stand, due to a deal with the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.[2]

The new millennium saw the London Road End and Moy's End fitted with new roofs and crush barriers to comply with safety requirements. The pitch received a large make-over in 2001 when the entire playing surface was removed to insert 11⁄4 miles (2.0 km) of new drainage pipes and 500 tons of gravel and sand.[2]

In 2014 the Norwegian company ABAX [no] (electronic triplogs, GPS positioning) signed a five-year sponsorship, worth £500,000, with Peterborough FC and renamed it the ABAX Stadium .[3]

In August 2017, the club announced that BGL Group become the new sponsor of the south stand with it to be known as the “BGL Family Stand.” This deal is set to last three years until 2020 and follows on from previous partnerships between The Posh and BGL Group where BGL sponsored both the teams Foundation as well as the First Team shorts in years previous.[citation needed]

On 1 June 2019, the ground was renamed the Weston Homes Stadium as part of a ten-year £2 million sponsorship deal.[4]
