Unusual places you've seen the stoke badge etc.

[supersmashinggreat]

Leaving my local Tesco's in Hayes,Middx tonight a women in the passenger seat of a car behind me was waving out of the window & beeping the horn, i thought "what is the silly cow doing" anyway at the traffic lights they pulled along side me & the women was grabbing at her sons top in the back seat ;D to show me her sons stoke shirt he was wearing, shouting goarrn stoke.

Great moment & unexpected although the people around must of thought we were mad.

A pub in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The barman id'd my mate and he showed him his away card and the barman stopped and muttered something and walked off. We thought we were in trouble until he got his wallet out and showed us his away card too. At closing he put We'll Be With You on too, made my night!

[Stay up again for - hoodyjr]

[garethw15]

In a pub in mallorca I went to get a drink and the barman said he recognised the accent from Stoke and showed me his Stoke shirt

[BoxxyTheLost]

i met a barman while on holiday in Portugal, who followed Stoke and had even been to stay in Leek (for some unbeknown reason. )

he also had the Stoke v Villa match on. What a great time.

Don't know if it is still there but this is on the ferris wheel at Trentham Gardens, I went there last year only to find a Stoke badge in the middle. And yes, that is the Stoke badge in the middle of the ferris wheel.

[RipRoaringPotter]

Waiting for a train in Sydney I was somewhat surprised to see 'C'mon Stoke' scrawled on the front of the train.

C'mon Stoke indeed.

On the chest of Salif Diao ;D

[Beloved Monkfish]

I saw one on a Stoke shirt once, can't remember when

[Pretty Little Boother]

In a public toilet in Cornwall about ten years ago, someone had written "Bollocks to the Vale scum. SCFC 1863 for life".

Made my holiday.

[PoisonedDonkey]

In Greece a few years ago I was at a bar in some town wearing a Stoke shirt, the barman walked up to me and said, "Ahhh Stoke City, they are great team, far better than Port Vale."

I was like

[stokester1989]

I was in a pub in Bury St Edmonds working away ,I was wearing my Stoke T-shirt when a bloke came up to me and was very excited to see a fellow Stoke fan he explained we were a rare breed in those parts and introduced me to his girlfriends and friends who explained were all Ipswich fans, he also got me a pint and put the tv on teletext because Stoke were playing Brighton on the Fri night which Stoke won 3-1 ,I think I made his evening.

I went to an England under 21 match at Coventry with my lad. Some guy was waving in our direction from the bottom end of the stand and after looking around it was at us. As we're having the conversation "do you know him" between us he comes up to speak to us. My lad had a Stoke badge on his top ;D

[bristolpotter]

Last week in Benalmedena Spain, a fella and his son walking around in their Stoke tops, also seen a car with SomersetStokie stuck on its window driving about, and once saw Stoke City N40 graffitied on the wall of some bog in a Bristol nightclub.

[stoke4tea]

on a liverpool shirt ???

[potbank]

There was a Stoke City football/beachball being tossed around the crowd at Glastonbury in 2000 and ive seen a Stoke top at a Morrissey gig in Manchester and it got thrown towards the stage, Morrissey didnt pick it up.

[smigchop]

not the stoke badge, but in my mates home shirt from last season there was an Everton badge on the inside label. Do Le Coq Sportif even make the everton kit??

[nottinghamstokie]

In the queue for the tour of the Nou Camp a few years ago

OK, it's a football stadium so maybe not that surprising but it stood out amongst the sea of Brits in Man U / Chelsea / Arsenal shirts

It was a bloke and seemingly 2 sons, all wearing them, they were on an earlier tour so walked past up a staircase. We weren't wearing our shirts but we spontaneously shouted "why, why, why.......?" and the bloke spun round in disbelief, spotted us, and shouted back "aw rate mate ?"

Obviously from somewhere in Trentham............. ;D

[Carlos Dickabout]

driving back from liverpool yesterday, i thought i saw a massive stoke badge on a coach that i was overtaking...

...then realised it was just my stoke air freshener that was in my eye line haha

FAIL

[twisty]

Bumped into a stokie on the top of the empire state building in 2005 that was a bit surreal but also went Paris last year and was at Charles de Gaulle airport and going through passport control I had Stoke top on and the bloke behind the desk looked at me and said
(in a French accent )
" Ahhhh Stokeee citeeee,, rory delap yes" while doing huge throw in movements with his arms, then bumped into simmo while in Paris had a good chat with them and told him about the passport control bloke he thought it was funny too.

[Inverness Stokie]

At my local pub in Kettering, our shirt from the 2002 Division Two Play-Off final.

[bradscfc]

Last Summer I was working back in blackpool in a Superdrug, the air conditioning was broke so we were allowed to wear shorts and t-shirts for about 6 weeks, It was suprising how many times I'd be on the till in a Stoke shirt and spot some red and white stripes in the que, whenever it was another guy in a Stoke shirt something weird would happen, we'd almost communicate telepathically ;D

[bullseye77]

Saw people in Stoke shirts at the test match yesterday.

[mystokebadge]

I collect stoke badges and have done for many years hence the username and when out and about i always wear one.Last year i was visiting the world war two tunnels in gibralter the ex squaddie taking the tour was a stokie from maybank i gladly gave him my badge.

[stokietickerz2]

when i went on holiday to bulgaria in 2007 in the bar by the outside pool there was a stoke top there on the wall along with a couple others 1 being rangers i think. then when going out for a meal 1 night we couldnt decide where to go when we saw a bloke advertising his restaurant and he was wearing a stoke top so it was a no brainer
then 1 day shopping this bulgarian bloke come running up to me and offered to buy my stoke top off me he said he watched every game on the internet and named most of the players to me so i went back to the room and got my old 1 and give it to him

[tigerstokie]

A few weeks ago at an Outlet village in Orlando. The guy was wearing a stoke polo shirt, and had tattoos on the back of his legs. I had to go up to him and have a chat!
