Obviously not ! We are what we are and it is what it is ! Will we sell 40,000 for Wembley at many times the cost?? I doubt we'd get allocated that many

Conpletly different for who? So what games should we sell out for in these new times?
We took 35000 to an autoglass final, is it a measure of how far we've come that an fa cup 6th round tie is seen as not important?

This has seriously pissed me off! I sit in the Southstand and as such I have to find another seat in the ground. Thinking this is the quarter final of the FA cup with a real chance of making Wembley, I thought nearly all season ticket holders would buy their seat. So not wanting to risk leaving it until general sale I bought 2 tickets on row fucking 6 in block 27, only to see that we have plenty of seats left I honestly thought every Stoke fan with a season ticket would be at this game? Money issues? I stayed in all last weekend last week, last night and will be tonight just so as I can go tomorrow.

I think you have to remember the cost of football and the recession which do not make good bedfellows. I was a teenager during the eraly 60s and found no problem in affording games out of my pocket money. I was in my mid 20s when we got to two FA Cup Semis and a League Cup final. I was well down the pay scale of my job and still found no problem in affording the games and getting a train to Wembley. Football just wasn't an expensive item if you stuck to mainly home games with the occasional away game.
It is now a serious financial outlay for students, the unemployed and those with young families - which many of our fans are. Luckily Stoke prices are cheaper than most because, without that we'd, get even smaller crowds.

Terrestrial TV and Pulisball make a lethal combination.
