Stoke fan first and last
Will watch other games if it appeals and I have nothing better to do but not interested in the glamour teams. Tend to watch Stokes next opponents so still Stoke orientated.
Actually prefer Rugby League to watching other than Stoke. Try arguing with a Rugby League ref and they have an open mike, we could do with that level of discipline in football.

I hate football. Stoke winning is what matters. Never enjoyed any match we lost. 100% agree. "at least we played well" just doesn't cut it for me. I don't care if we had 10 Peles at his best out there, if we lost, all I feel is bitter disappointment. Conversely, i am elated when we have been battered by a team all game long only to nick a fluke goal in our sole attack of the game and snatch a win.

I love watching all football, that's probably why my knowledge is far superior than some on here.My spelling is good too.

Stoke fan and supporter of my "region" which is vaguely North staffs / south Cheshire I guess - and my football team is part of that community (should be located at the heart of that community too not on some windswept industrial estate but that's another matter)? Secondly I would miss the "day" - it's never been all about the football. The drinks, high jinks and adventures on the road too. So if not Stoke then it would have to be another team in my region - Alsager, obvs.

Stoke first and only. More interested in international games that have Stoke players playing than in watching England. Only watch match of the day when we win, (or draw with one of the top six). Watch every mid-week and away game and commute 100 miles one way to watch home games (season ticket holder). If Stoke folded wouldn't be interested in football anymore.

Stoke fans aren't football fans anyway if you go by the still negative media! Rugby should be included the, and wrestling!

Over the past decade I've changed from football fan to 100% Stoke.
Bored with England and international football, Champions League has no interest for me and I can't even bring myself to watch any other Prem matches that don't involve Stoke City.
I'll watch / listen to any Stoke game ( no matter how bad we are ! ) but other than that I'm not bothered. It's Stoke and nothing else for me now.

I am a lifelong Stoke City fan. I like football in general and watch games on tv as well but for me nothing beats watching Stoke. Once a Stokie always a Stokie

Both and it's a great pleasure to watch my home town club play in the premiership, though I would watch them whatever division they were in, and have! I watch all levels of football though because it's great to watch good and great football and good and great players whatever the level. I get as much pleasure watching my son play at local level as I do watching Stoke or a game at one of the top clubs abroad.
Could I support wholeheartedly another club other than Stoke, definitely not, but I would still watch football at all levels as it still can be a beautiful game beyond the hype, excess and gentrification.

I used to be a huge football fan and study all results attendancies etc etc but nowadays I only really follow Stoke, although I do have one eye on the bottom of the 2nd division ATM 😆

Both, but absolutely prioritise watching anything Stoke and England related.
Same with basketball. If Detroit are playing I'll watch that game first and foremost but still watch other games if I have the chance.

Both. Even try and watch Sunday league games when I'm driving by.
Went to world cup and didn't go to England games. Went to 2in Rio and watched all others in bars or on beach.
If Stoke went bump I'd have to pick another team. Nearest to where I live would be ideal but that is The Shit.

Stoke through and through. But keep half an eye on Stevenage for no other reason than it's where my son was born. Don't ask!.😁

When stoke lose, i lose interest in football for the rest of the weekend, no interest in motd or super sunday so i guess i'm a stoke fan who enjoys all football providing we win or earn a good point.

Primarily and almost exclusively a Stoke City fan. I will also watch England games but to be honest I find it hard to enthuse about them, in the main. I used to watch pretty much any football I could but those days are gone, mainly, I think, due to the rank commercialisation surrounding the game nowadays.

Are the two mutually exclusive?
I'm a football fan who supports Stoke.

Increasingly less of a football fan with every passing year, and will be even less of one as soon as the new Champions League seeding rules, which reward clubs based on historic performance, are brought in.
Will always know when Stoke are playing, who they're playing, what the score is and that will always matter, but all the money and nonsense that pervades football including our beloved club does turn me off it all compared to how much I felt it mattered 20-30 years ago if I'm honest.

This is me to a T. And if we lose I am a miserable bastard all weekend and get told off by my family. Also, as I live 150 miles from Stoke, it gives me all that time to fester my misery all the way home, so my wife tends to hand me the clock like in the wonderful Ripping Yarns episode. Bastard football

Definitely a Stoke fan although don't watch them unless on tv or can get the odd live stream as it's too far to travel. Have got tickets for Bristol game on Tuesday which will be my first since FA Cup game vs Chelsea at the Brit in 2002 think it was. No interest in any other team or players in any competition be it international, champions league or anything. In fact always want other English teams to fail in Europe.

Very much a tribal Stoke fan - proud of my hometown, it's history and unique identity........I just want us to win and cannot bet or forecast against no matter if it's"just for fun".
Only a passing interest in other matches (no pun intemded!) but do relish BIG games for the so-called BIG Prem clubs where i spitefully root for the other team and underdogs generally - i like the agony of playoff finals as well.....
