Peterborough United has confirmed that banning orders have been issued following incidents of criminal damage at the Weston Homes Stadium in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, during the League One match on 7 February 2026. The club said a number of seats were damaged and signs within the ground were dismantled during the game against Wigan Athletic.
In a statement published on 10 February 2026, the club said one supporter had already received a lengthy ban, with further bans and sanctions expected as investigations continue. The club has referred the matter to Cambridgeshire Police and says it is working with the authorities to identify those involved.
Peterborough United said: “The club continues to work extremely hard to improve the matchday experience for all supporters. This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Anyone who undermines the experience for others is not welcome at this football club.”
Cambridgeshire Police has said the incidents have been logged and will be investigated alongside the club. There may be an increased police and steward presence at future home matches as bans and enforcement measures are implemented.
The match ended in a 6-1 victory for Peterborough United, according to the Wigan Athletic match report.
