The new ones grew up behind a Playstation and have nothing to be angry for. They might shout their mouths off a bit but it's years since I last saw that 'edge' the old lot had. The good old days are firmly behind us, which is no bad thing.

No hooligans? obviously didn't see the 200 lads that battered the living day lights out of Poland at Wembley a few weeks back!! Stoke still have them and there were bloody plenty last night Can't comment on the who's who at Brum but there is most definitely a hard core Stoke element who follow England home & away. A lot of them broke away from following Stoke in 2002 but I think it genuinely started back in 91 in Dublin. Stoke ran the bloody place, rioting against Celtic on O'Connell St and taking on any English Club that fancied it over a two day spree. I went into a pub the day after the match, having spent the night before with a bunch of mad Irish blokes who still banged on about Conroy. The atmosphere was not pleasant once the colours were shown I can tell you.

There have been Stoke firms In the past at the odd away game back in the day and there were plenty at home games when England were playing at Old Trafford and alike when Wembley was being rebuilt. Whilst I see a few Stoke fans at home and abroad now there's no firm I've seen.

why all this talk of hooligans as if its something to be proud of?? Surely thats something that went out in the 70's and 80's.
When I see Millwall idiots and Leeds idiots following their club around just to cause trouble it doesnt fill me with admiration, I just think what a bunch of immature morons :-)

You've only got to look at the number of arrests over the last few seasons to realise that we no longer have a problem with hooligans. We have a few kids who are mouthy and jump around a bit but you wouldn't call them hooligans. I guess we're no different to the likes of Southampton, Hull...this can only be a good thing. Year on year we're becoming more of a family club.

I think it's euphamisticly refered to as the winter of discontent. Well U pair of cnuts may have creamed some off the top, but this hasn't been a winter, but a £@#&!ng generation. And any money lost on strikes for fare pay fail in comparison to what banks and multinationals have robbed Britain of over the years(& don't U Tory tw@t try to pick me up on starting a senence with an And)

we could argue this all night, and you'd still be wrong :-) I think we have strayed a little, I dont think this thread was supposed to be about politics, bankers, drug addicts or unions. It was about people who have to compensate for small genitalia by failing to grow up :-)

It was about people who have to compensate for small genitalia by failing to grow up :-) The thread was highlighting the fact that we no longer have a hooligan element at Stoke. If we do, it's extremely small and isn't sufficient enough to be a worry to our club, or teams visiting us. I've hardly missed a game for the last few seasons and have not witnessed any problems. We may still have a bit of a reputation but this is based only on historic events. I would urge families who choose to keep away to come back...we are no different to any other premier league club, as far as hooliganism is concerned. This has been my view for some time and my trip to St Andrews on Tuesday only reinforced this.

I completely agree. I travel to games and stop at service stations on the way home. These service stations are full of fans in colours and I have never seen any trouble. Unlike in the 70's when it used to be a challenge to get home in one piece :-)

Not sticking up for Tories at all, they're just as bad but Labour are shittier. I'm with on the bankers that raped the taxpayer with the help of the complicit socialists. Are you someone who harks back to the romance of being a miner without having ever gone down a mine and dying at 50 with lung disease? Have you even got a job are are you one that gives according to one's ability and receives according to one's need?

You can't count Blair's government as Labour, they were more right wing than (for example) Heath. They pushed the private sector into the NHS further and faster than either Thatcher or Major would have dared. Their mad enthusiasm for PFI (a Tory policy) has saddled the country with enormous future long term debt - they liked it for the same reason Major did and Cameron does, it keeps a lot of that debt "off book". Gordon Brown as chancellor was a key champion of the infamous "light touch" regulation of the financial industry which was a key factor in the banking melt-down.
