Just read this on the BCFC website. Dunno if it's been posted before. Apologies to the wheel Police if this is so.


PULIS BEGS FOR FANS' SUPPORT


Tony Pulis is begging Stoke City fans to turn out for their crucial Britannia Stadium showdown with City on Saturday (kick-off 5.20pm).

The Potters chief is concerned the fact the game is being televised might hit the attendance, where more than 2,000 City supporters will be cheering on the away team.

So Pulis begged today: "I am pleading for all the supporters to get down here on Saturday.

"When there is over 20,000 people in this stadium it is absolutely rocking and it is so intimidating for other teams.

"I have said it before but the fans are so important to us. We need to create the same atmosphere as the Bristol fans did when we went there earlier this season.

"The referee responded to them and gave them decisions they probably shouldn't have got. We need that this Saturday.
"I know it's the easy option to put your feet up in front of the television at home or go down the pub with your mates, but the place where you can really make a difference is here.

"If we get 23,000 odd stokies in this stadium the place will be buzzing and that is what we need this weekend."

Stoke are also sweating over the fitness of Shola Ameobi and captain Andy Griffin ahead of the big game.

What they have done is take a "rallying cry" from a few days ago and present it in the Bristol Press as if we were struggling to sell tickets. If there are 1,000 empty seats in the home areas (excluding the South stand) I'd be surprised.
