Rivals
According to the Football Fans Census, Cambridge United were considered to be the club's main rival. The Cambridge rivalry has been fought very evenly over the years; both clubs winning 14 games, with Peterborough netting 51 times and Cambridge 52 in the 38 competitive matches they have played each other. However, the two sides have not met since 2001.
Northampton Town are the traditional rival, dating back to when both sides were non-league, and when the city of Peterborough was in the county of Northamptonshire.
More recently, Posh fans have begun to view Leicester City as fierce rivals.

Famous quotes containing the word rivals:
“What poet would not grieve to see
His brother write as well as he?
But rather than they should excel,
He’d wish his rivals all in Hell.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
