Idiot Peterborough fan suffers embarrassing fall after spitting at Reading supporters

The incident happened during Peterborough's trip to face Reading in League One - a clash that The Posh won 1-0 thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark's first half goal.

Taking place at Reading's Select Car Leasing Stadium, it's normal for away fans to partake in banterous and sometimes hostile exchanges with the home supporters, but one Peterborough fan took things a little bit too far.

Making his way over the in-crowd segregation, the supporter in question made his way over to the Reading fans and appeared to spit in their direction.

However he got more than he bargained for as upon reaching the railing, the Peterborough supporter lost his balance and went head over heels over the railing and down the stairs.

Stewards then attempted to grab him, before he scuttled back over the railing and seemingly back towards his seat.

This sort of negative publicity is not what Peterborough need as they gear up for what they hope will be a successful campaign.

The Posh made it to the League One play-offs last term where they beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in the home leg, putting them in a dominant position to secure a spot at Wembley.

However a 5-1 collapse at Hillsborough led to a penalty shootout defeat that saw the Owls progress to the League One play-off final and ultimately, secure promotion to the Championship.
