During the late 70s and early 80s we used to play away from home in the blue top.In my programme collection i have a programme from 80/1 season and on the front is a picture of Ray Evans playing in a yellow version of the away top.But it was a game at the Victoria Ground.Can anyone enlighten me,
Why did we play in yellow?
Who were the opposition?
And why did we play in a away kit at home?
This has been bugging me for a while now.

wonder if its because nobody had 3rd kits back then, and the away teams home and away shirts clashed with our home ....

Don't quote me on this stenny, it was a long time ago, and I can sometimes barely remember what happened last week never mind nearly 30 years ago, but if I'm correct, I seem to remember Stoke being on "match of the day" (when it wasn't just focused on the Premiership), we were playing away at Brighton, it was a top of the table clash, there was us, Brighton, Palace, Sunderland & West Ham all going for a top THREE slot, and I "THINK" (might be wrong) we played in a all yellow strip that day.......................someone correct me if I'm wrong!!!

Stenny, the only scenario I can think of is it was a cup game. Could of drawn a small club away who asked to have the fixture switched to Stoke. Therefore we'd be playing away but at home   ;D |
