Well if youve sold 5000 youll have virtually sold as many as Wolves av sold judging by the sales. Such is the pull of the fa cup nowadays.! One third of the south bank is not for sale even. Be surprised if you sell more than 2000 and if the crowd is more than 12-13000. Fair play to you if you do, but maybe because you see us as your local rivals. If its a draw, then dont think we would sell more than a 1000 for your place, I certainly aint bothering with this game. Premiership survival is critical for us, and it looks doubtful. Unfortunately we have those arrogant fuckers from Cornwall (Manure) up next at molineux.
Pubs will not be open in town before the game according to OB.

1off. You miss my point by absolutely miles. The reason you pay those prices at other grounds is because your greedy arsed club has turned football into what it is now. You lapped up SKY like good little bitches back in 92, knowing it would make you billions. Thing is, your club didn't give a sh** that it would hit the normal fan, and hence here we are...in 2011 and you're getting stung for £50 an away game. We all know your away support is excellent, but that's based on massive numbers mate, huge market for tickets. It's good that your Mancunian support get the briefs. But your crown is slipping. Why is it your club has to sell cheap tickets to every school in Stoke? Why does it have to whore itself on Talksport to fill it's ground? You know the answer. We know the answer. Couldn't sell all your tickets? Pffft. Look in the mirror. i have no problem whatsoever with old trafford not selling out but 60+k midweek is still impressive we have always had the hardcore numbers from up and down the country and its what makes our club great. most united fans dont want it to be sold out. they want to make a point about our ticket prices. they want the media to say oh hang on i see some empty seats. lads are giving up and making a stand on this. we probably get punished away from home due to the fact we would sell out no matter what the cost. the truth is we just have far too many regulars for our allocations. my point is no matter if this fa cup is shit or worthless or whatever surely it would be great if stoke sold out and sang for thier team all game ? its still a very cheap away day. or is the premiership tie at anfield more exciting for stoke fans ? i know which game id rather do

1off or ICJ whatever you're calling yourself, go wank over Nani one last time before he's sold to the club you aspire to be, Real Madrid!

1off, Mate, just get back to whatever forum you gloryhunters congregate on, and leave the proper supporting up to us proper fans. You have NO opinion. You're a Man United supporter. End!

1off your away support might be impressive but you're struggling to fill Old Trafford and you know it. Empty seats galore against us and it's never been easier to get tickets for Old Trafford.
When your team is in decline (which it will be at some point) and when Man City are winning trophies (which they will with their billions at some point) lets see how your crowds hold up when the Japanese tourists have fucked off to Eastlands.
99% of Stoke fans know we're not a huge club and times are extremely hard so don't come on here knocking our support. Our average this season is 26,849, our capacity 27,500. You do the maths our crowds ar holding up very well thanks very much. The same can't be said of Bolton, Wigan, Blackburn, Everton, Birmingham, Liverpool, West Brom so why not go and bother their fans instead?
There'll be 2,000 fans at Wolves on Sunday. Not wonderful but no disgrace considering the teams on the pitch can't even be arsed with the FA Cup.
If you've come on here to metaphorically compare dick sizes well done you've won. But would I swap supporting Stoke for the library that is Old Trafford despite all their trophies? Would I bollocks so do me a favour and run along to a web site where people give a shit.........

I've tried hard not to bite..but here goes
some of what you say is fair enough, but much of it's the spouting of a typical shit fan, 'my clubs dick is bigger than your club's dick...lets think about this for a minute so what you're saying is that makes you , your club and your fans..mmm bigger dicks than me..mmm perhaps I can see where you're coming from after all.
Many of the things you see as attractive about your club are the very things other fans see as unattractive..just as many of the attractions of ours to me you'd probably balk at..we've the same broad interest in football and a day out..but our versions appear at each ends of the spectrum, we're never likely to agree which is the better version.
Put plainly I don't need a full turnout or indeed anyone else holding my hand before I go a Stoke game, can the same be said for you and many of the shit fans you describe as loyal and 'hardcore'?
As for the numbers game, it's never done anything for me.fair play you might say given our range of followings I would say that..but why worry over something I can't control , just as I can't understand why you appear to take so much pleasure on the shits larger followings when you have no greater bearing on the level of that support than I with Stoke.
Instead if you must take any pride ..or indeed worry , about numbers , do so about your own personal level of support , but keep it to yourself no ones interested.
I certainly don't see myself as superior to any supporter in the country , regardless of the team they support, or indeed their level of support...but perhaps that comes from a position of total confidence in my own level of support , I certainly find it odd that fans of larger clubs automatically label fans of 'smaller' clubs as collectively lacking the loyalty of bigger neighbours , when if anything the opposite is more likely... and without thinking for a minute that another teams hardcore will be just as hardcore if not more so than their own...
Anyone can travel with large numbers week in week out..try it sometime without someone holding your hand...

Scouse its much simpler than that.
Feckless shit for brains who follow a club because they are glamorous are parasites destroying the game. If everyone did what they did 95% of the clubs in the world would go bust and there would be no football.
They are cancer.

I understand you responding to my post, but you have shown your true colours. To be frank i don't care two fucks what you think because as a manure fan no one respects your views anyway. Leeds (however much i dislike them) deserve to be in the prem, teams like forest, leicester, and certainly derby I agree have as much claim to be there too, in terms of support. Have you ever thought why you outsing other fans teams? because you win a lot. You seem to have forgotten how quiet you are at OT (your too right it is a fucking theatre), or when we beat you 1-0 at Molineux. If you had had years and years of relative hardship you would not have all those rambling songs no one can hear. Bunch of cocky gobshites. Everyone knows your away and home support are at two opposite ends of the spectrum. Nothing against th elocal Mancs, but can you not understand just how fucking annoying it is to have pub loads of local Somalis or Afghans in that putrid AON replica top. As for crowds, well we rarely have less than 23000 home fans despite moxeys efforts. Who was it who made the FA cup the devalued competition it was? Oh it was you fuckers. Listen on facebook someone was telling me Wolves have about 14000 friends and liverpool 3.7m, so god knows how many you have. You are truly an international brand who used to have fantastic passionate support (still made up of glory hunters from cornwall ). Now you are this international insitution, with songsheets handed out. Would I ever in my wildest dreams want that.......no fucking thank you.

depends who you get to be honest, ive had very few issues with the ticket office this season, although there are bound to be a few for people surrounding the blackpool game spoke to my mate who works there though and he said we have sold about 1500 up to last night, so id expect about 1750, maybe 1800 total following.
