Ive been a Stokie for 50 years, I was born in Cold Meece then lived in Stone for the first 15 years of my life. Since then, I have lived in Cyprus, Germany, Malta, Singapore, Australia and I'm now living in Uganda. During that time I have worked in 79 countries and have never missed a Stoke result within minutes of the final whistle. I am currently in Jinja, Uganda and have just watched us play Spurs live on tv in the hotel bar proudly wearing my Stoke shirt, good effort lads, Mike Dean is a twat! STOKE TILL I DIE

Now live 15 miles from Stoke. The one on the South Island of New Zealand.
I'm about 50 miles from the same Stoke, but across the Cook Strait.
Born in Newcastle UL. Family go back three million generations, give or take a couple, in SOT.
SCFC supporter since about the time Matthews returned (1961/2 ish).

STOKE TILL I DIE Thats pretty impressive! Nice one. Im off back to Italy in a couple of days but will always follow Stoke and whenever in England get to as many games as possible. Even when we lose its always a great game at the Brit and a great atmosphere.

Wow I feel bad living only a stones throw from the Brit (and the Victory ground) and supporting Stoke since a child. Maybe I should actually support Man U or LA Galaxy and brag how I support a club a plane flight away...... bet these didn't follow SCFC before the prem when we started to appear regular on tv's and the web......
It's kinda nice to have glory hunters though it makes me feel like a top Italian team must feel.

At the mo, in no particular order: Lowestoft Baghdad Kandahar Kuwait and....Alsager- place of my upbringing and home to parents etc. Over the last 22 odd years wherever the RAF has sent me, although spent more of 1988-1992 seeing more of Munchengladbach and PSV Eindoven.

I'll bet you a shit load of money most of us have followed for many years, and activley supported, thru thick and much much thinner. You'll find alot of the "exotic" supporters wil have military connections anyway, so it's sort of a case of where they end up.

ST3 here (Meir). Have been in Stafford, Brum and Southampton but worst of all was ST6 - way too close to The Fail. Neighbours on all sides here also Stokies. Pretty much the whole street are TBH.

Born in Stoke City General Hospital, delivered by a doctor who sat on the board of directors at Stoke City (it was 1979 at the time, when things like that were still possible). He was wearing a Stoke City tie at the time, when he found out we shared the same name he took the tie off an gave it to my old man (I now have the tie).
So you could say I was born into the hands of the club.
Now I follow Stoke from Newcastle upon Tyne (as my name suggests), its the only downside to living up here! All being well though, I'll be there for the Hull game ;D

Born and bred in Bucknall, moved to Maybank for 15yrs before emigrating to Melbourne, Australia 5 years ago.
Proudly display car sticker telling all aussies they should follow SCFC and not me.
Best mate moved to Adelaide around the same time (different circumstances), and we both watch all Stoke matches home and away via Foxtel or internet. I'm amazed how easy it is to find a live feed.
Season ticket holder for years at the Vic and Brit enduring all kinds of dross - yet I must be a good luck charm as the bastards got promoted the year after I left the country. I assume the longer I stay here then the team will be OK ;D
Any other Melbourne stokies out there???

Following Stoke from Beijing. As far as I know there's only one other Stoke fan here who happens to Stanley Matthews's nephew. If there's any more Stokies in China give us a shout.

Born Whitchurch Shropshire where I was converted at a very early age into a Potters fan.....coach went to every home game and many away....still have great memories. Now I am on the shores of Lake Lanier in Atlanta...got here via Keele University, Tittensor, Devon, Harrogate and Dubai. Now 12 years in exile but not one season has passed without I see at least 10 games.Couldn't imagine life without the mighty potters.
