History of the Peterhead v Elgin City fixture

Peterhead prepare to entertain Elgin City at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Blue Toon have won an impressive 6 of the 9 meetings between the two sides, drawing the other 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Balmoor Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2004, with Peterhead running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
