Just for everybody's info:
4PM UPDATE: STOKE EXPECT BUMPER BRIT CROWD
Be the first reader to comment on this story
STOKE are catering for a crowd of up to 8,000 at the Britannia Stadium this Saturday when pictures will be beamed back from the Colchester game.
City could clinch promotion by drawing or winning at Layer Road if results elsewhere were to conspire in their favour.
The club has already sold around 1,500 tickets for the beam back and are urging fans to buy in advance to avoid queues on the day.
Tickets for the broadcast on a giant 42 square-metre screen are priced at £12 for adults and £6 for under-17s and over-65s.
The screen will be positioned in front of the main stand, between the dugouts and the corner flag, to leave seating available in the Seddon Stand and corner of the Boothen End.
The club is promoting a relaxed atmosphere that will include provision for drinks to be allowed into the stands, while the south car park will be free on the day.
Meanwhile, manager Tony Pulis was still awaiting news of Mama Sidibe this afternoon after Saturday's two-goal hero was sent for scans on his injured ankle.
The big striker is hoping a thorough examination will show nothing more than a sprain and leave him with a fighting chance of making the Colchester game.

42 metres - that's a big screen - that's 130 foot! Is that a lot bigger than the one used for the QPR match last season? As I remember that was quite difficult to see what was going on. |

The screen size for the QPR game was 42 inches...I couldn't see a thing so 42 metres will be amazing...I just hope they sort the sound-system out and don't use those clapped-out old HMV speakers they used for the QPR game...none of which was synchronised...it sounded like a load of tom-cats sqeeling magnified a thousand times...and one more moan...we lost!!

£12 is bloody extortionate IMO. I'll stick to Radio Stoke.

£12 to watch the legend Tony Pulis clinch promotion to the premiership and change Stoke City as a football club for a very long time.
Nothing like dedication eh Mikey!

Nothing like dedication eh Mikey! How is watching the team on a big TV at the Brit any different from watching it in the pub, in your own home, or listening on the radio? Stoke have had my support all season at home (and six games away from home), naturally I'll be there against Liecester to watch us finish the job, and I have recently renewed my ST. What exactly do I owe the club further? What's your record Sportsman? |

£12 is a fair gamble to make to see history and enjoy it with 9000 like minded people instead of my 2-year old who ain't got a clue about footy ;D

Aren't we all being a little presumptuous in thinking the job will be done and dusted against Colchester? The number of twists and turns we've seen this season should caution against that kind of thinking IMO.

Do you pay on the day mikey or have you got a season ticket? Either way, £12 to watch stoke possible get promotion is not a big price to pay is it?
I know you can't stand 'the legend' that is TP, but it can't be that painfull for you watch him throwing his baseball cap in the aor after 90 minutes!

£12 isn't too bad, considering you could potentially be celebrating going up with 8000 other Stokies. You won't see the game anywhere else.
I had to watch the Cardiff game on the big screen at the Brit and it was an incredible mental! Definitely worth the money if you haven't got tickets for the game.
