PETERBOROUGH are heading for a clash with the team they have been battling with for league leader status in the play-offs.
Both Panthers and Wolverhampton have revealed they will pick each other regardless of who finishes top of the table at 10pm on Thursday night.
Rob Lyon’s men still have to race King’s Lynn at the Showground that night and a win confirms them as league leaders heading into the play-offs.
They will go to Wolverhampton’s Monmore Green Stadium next Monday, September 27, before heading back to the East of England Arena for the return leg seven days later, October 4.
Team boss Rob Lyon said: “If we finish top there is a case for each of the other three teams in the play-offs for us to justify selecting them.
“However, we have been looking at this long and hard over the last week or so and decided to pick Wolverhampton as semi-final opponents should it be our decision to do so.
“I know they have been a fabulous team this season but we felt that given all the options placed in front of us they would be our preferred choice of opponent.
“That said, we want to finish off the regular league season with a win against King’s Lynn and it’s the opportunity for our fans to come along and show their support for the boys ahead of Monday’s meeting at Wolverhampton.”
