Scheme helps fund Wembley tickets for Posh fans

A football club has supported a fund which will allow more of its supporters to attend its Wembley cup final.

Peterborough United said its scheme with the Free Kicks Foundation would support fans who might not otherwise be able to attend Sunday's Vertu Trophy Final against Birmingham City.

About £3,000 has been raised by Posh supporters for the scheme and the club has also donated £1,000.

League One Peterborough are the defending champions of the competition having beaten Wycombe Wanderers in last year's final.

Clive Edwards, the head of media and marketing at Posh, said it had been a "fantastic effort from our supporters to raise such an amount for this fund".

Anyone who wishes to nominate a family who might benefit from free tickets provided by the Free Kicks Foundation fund is asked to contact Peterborough United by 17:00 BST on Wednesday.
