Peterborough co-owner mocks MK Dons and their ’empty bowl stadium’ when he discussed plans to move from London Road on Twitter.
It came as R Stewart Thompson took part in a social media question and answer this afternoon on the club’s official account when he responded to a question regarding plans for their new ground.

He was asked about the potential capacity of a new ground, and whether it could attract concerts like many of the newer ones are built to host for the summer months.
One Twitter user wrote: “The last thing fans are going to want is to have an empty stadium like MK on a match day.”
Mr Thompson wrote in response: “I don’t want an empty bowl stadium like MK Dons.” Ouch.

Peterborough’s current home has a capacity of 15,300, compared to Stadium MK’s 30,500, however the Dons have an average attendance of 9,376 this season, the fifth biggest behind Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Bolton. The Posh get 7,243, which is 12th in League One.
Peterborough hope to have their new ground in time for the 2022/23 season, and in the meantime have a lot of planning to do with proposed designs for it yet to be released.
Fans saw that Peterborough co-owner mocks MK Dons and their ’empty bowl stadium’, so took to give their reaction…
Still got wooden seats at the Posh? Awful ground, took mrs and kids. No wonder they need to spend some money on it. Us thrashing them that day with a thunderbolt from Aneke helped numb the pain of their poor ground.

Attendance levels are not the point he’s making. You’d do better to show stats on percentage of capacity filled – then you’ll get closer to the point he’s making and I’m sure you’ll see the stats change.
Better to fill a ground than create a stadium that is only a third full.
