The last Posh FA Cup meeting with Tranmere produced one of those moments when the hairs stood up on the back of your neck. Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony paid for the club's fans to make the long haul to Merseyside for the second round tie in December, 2006.
And when Darragh MacAnthony stepped out on to the pitch before the game he was greeted by a standing ovation and raucous applause from the 2,000 Peterborough United fans behind one goal.
If Darragh MacAnthony was in any doubt about the affection Peterborough United fans felt for him it was washed away in that moment. Suitably inspired, Peterborough United went on to win the match against a team from a higher division 2-1.
Darragh MacAnthony said: "The Tranmere game was one of my favourite days as Posh owner. Playing them again will bring back many memories.
"I just hope that the atmosphere for this game will be the same. I also hope we get the same result as we could do with a big third round tie for a change."
