You could buy an adult Boothen End season card for £344 and an East Stand season card for £379. According to their website, Vale's season tickets this year are £365 and £380.
I call bullshit.

The fact that he could probably choose any seat he wanted in the entire stadium might be an influential factor with the option of a row to himself or he might fancy taking his own chair and sitting in that half finished stand.

You get treated well though...at Vale, if you ring up and ask to buy a ticket, after a few minutes of confused silence, they send someone round with it on a gold-edged cushion.

It's impossible. Once the choice to support any club has been made there's no going back. It's in your blood, for life. You can choose not to watch them but you still end up glued to the radio, phone or whatever device you can to find out how they're doing when you're not there. You just can't change your allegiance. I know, I've stood on some dreary windswept terrace when we've just gone 3 down to some team you never dreamt we'd ever compete with on a league basis and wondered why I ever became a Stoke fan. Why didn't my dad take me somewhere else when I was a youngster ? My own son has probably thought the same of me as we've trudged home on a wet Saturday evening after yet another home defeat, but he's still Stoke and will never change, so am I and so is my father. You just can't change once you've fallen for your club.
Those that have changed their club were never truly fans, they've never had it in their blood, never loved their team, never yearned for that next game, just to be there, just to taste it, smell it, just be around it. Then again, pretty much all of you who are reading this will know those feelings all too well, because we've all been there, all experienced it and all know what is like to follow and love Stoke City FC and we all know we can never change.

Sounds like early signs of dementia to me! How can folk do this. Young kids do but that happens, pressure from school pupils often the cause. But 2 Leeds Utd fans at work - who actually attended most home games (I'm in West Yorkshire) suddenly became man Utd fans, one even getting a tattoo!? This was back in early 80's when Leeds started struggling. You just don't do this, especially to main rivals. Hey weren't kids either. They lost alot of respect from other football fans at work.

Well one thing is for sure.
If you swap from Stoke to Vale you will never be called a "Glory Hunter".

Obviously doesn't like crowds and prefers large open spaces!
Lol Lol
It's actually more expensive to go the Fail than to watch Stoke playing Premier League opposition!
So explain that one Smurfwaite?

I'm an Ipswich fan but am a season ticket holder in the Boothen with my Stokie wife. Whilst I'll never totally give up on the Town I find myself very fond of the potters & spend 90 minutes shouting & singing for them. Not possible to change your team completely imo but I'm definitely a proud adopted Stokie.

I can't better than that, my family were and still are Man U supporters but by the time I was of football supporting age we lived in Sancbach and my school chums were Stoke supporters and dragged me along. Much to the chagrin of my family. My chums though did not believe I was a 'proper' fan and only took me for a larf. Ironically, my school chums later became glory hunters after our relegation and switched to Man U. I stayed put. Here I still am, after all these years. |

I know somebody who did exactly the same thing in the second season of our PL journey. Instead of joining Vale he went to watch Leek Town and decided he had always being a Man Utd fan.

Over here in Lincolnshire, it's pretty desolate as far as top flight football goes and it has always been that way (except when Grimsby had a spell of being a top club before the war). So many folks have two clubs, their local one (Boston, Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Gainsborough) and a traditionally top six club. If their local club is in the doldrums, they focus on their big club's fortunes and vice versa. I suspect it's like that in a lot of rural counties. I can't quite get my head round it, but I have been to watch Lincoln a few times, so perhaps that makes me an adopted Imp.

Was he a 'supporter' though? I know some local blokes who like football but have no particular allegience to either side and want to see both do well? Maybe this bloke is a bit antisocial and just wants to be somewhere he can be alone...

Gloryhunter watching Stoke has gone back to his first love shock! Pretty much my trail of thought, the fact they have gone to another club shows that he was a supporter of the club.....Your club choose you not the other way around, if your mate doesn't get the highs and lows as we all do, then I hope they find a club that gives them those feelings.....I wouldn't want be stood or sitting with someone who looked bored. |
