It's still a great listen even all these years later.
It's become a part of the history of our club and every Stoke fan should be able to identify with the hopes, fears, and sheer tension of that great period nine years ago.

I bet a lot of our lot (fans) don't have clue about this, what it's about and its significance. It was a special time, where we were all pulling in the same direction. I doubt I'll ever see such unity as we had during the promotion season, and the 1st season in the Premier League.

That season and the first season in the Prem is something that will hold forever in the memory. Very few will get the importance of Colchester away and what it meant The atmosphere every game in the 1st season was the best I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of It felt raw, tribal and emotional Villa home and away Man City at home Totally off the scale re support and unification And then the feeling at Hull away Sadly never to be repeated Nods head to Bolton at Wembley which was as good

That slight touch he got for the goal at Colchester ended up being 3 of the most important points in the history of the Club. Total heroes on stage that night, all as humble as can be.

9 years.....How time flies. I had only recently moved to the States at the time, and was adjusting to a new life of following Stoke via online live radio commentary, and the odd rare occurance of a live game on cable TV. I can remember the Pottermouth phenomenon, and it started to sink in that I was going to miss one of the most epic occasions in my Stoke supporting lifetime. It's the only time in almost ten years that I've fellt really fucking homesick, and missing out on seeing that promotion season still hurts a bit if I'm being honest.
Of course, everything changed once we hit the Premier League. 24/7 TV coverage in the States, every game available live, huge coverage online....much easier being an exile with so much coverage, although sometime I kinda miss the experience of having to really work hard at keeping in touch with what was going on, and the excitement of those rare occasions where Stoke would be live on TV. It's reached a point now where you take it for granted that you can see every game, and that takes a little bit of the magic away for me.
Call it cringey or whatever you like, but the Pottermouth thing was and will remain a legendary part of our modern history, as it should. It captured the zeitgeist perfectly, and I like many, I'm sure, look back on that time with a grin and a proper sense of nostalgia. Something wonderful in a lifetime of following Stoke that was mostly shrouded in disappointment.

Brings back so many great memories hearing of the meir tunnel and limekiln bank. I would like to think out would rouse the passions in our players too but with most of them living towards Manchester i am not sure it does. But it's such a unifying rallying call for is fans. Hairs on the back of your neck stuff. I still try and get over most years for a pilgrimage and a few games. Cheers Rog

For people who don't support Stoke, yeah. Muppet. I support Stoke and find it cringeworthy, some people don't like it, maybe you should get a grip and deal with it, not everyone has to like it.

It is cringe, no two ways about it. The werriting voice, the stoke accent, the "traaaaa" at the end. That's what makes it so amazing. Absolute goosebumps after watching it again.

The few season before that I could start following matches with the old man and me and my brother showed it to him on youtube that battlecry, the old man teared up like me seeing a mountain of steak. Good stuff!

I thought enough time had passed for me to be able to hold the tears at bay, so I showed it to a couple of the cleaners at work thinking I'd be safe from embarrassment.
I was wrong.

In the interests of balance & all that lark, don't forget that our city rivals had a battlecry of their own...
