Just looking at some stats in answering the question about our record against Leicester and found an awesome site regarding all of our stats ever. So had a look at the game nearest to my D-o-B and we actually played and we beat Burnley 2-0 at The Victoria Ground. Here is the link... Passes the time away until we next play in 15 days time. www.11v11.com/teams/stoke-city/Go to Matches... Select the year... And there you have it... Unlucky if you were born in the Summer... But at least the weather is nice if you have a Birthday BBQ.

How much faith can we place in a site that states we were founded in 1868!?!

How much faith can we place in a site that states we were founded in 1868!?! Contentious issue that is. From our Wiki Page. It is claimed that Stoke Ramblers was formed in 1863 when former pupils of Charterhouse School formed a football club while they were apprentices at the North Staffordshire Railway works in Stoke-on-Trent.[1] However, Stoke Ramblers' first documented match was five years later, on 17 October 1868, at the club's original home, the Victoria Cricket Club ground against E.W May's XV, the 15-a-side match ended in a 1–1 draw.[2][3] In the game, the club's first goal was scored by Henry Almond, Stoke's founder and captain.[4] Stoke played four further fixtures in 1868, recording their first victory with a 2–0 win against Newcastle-under-Lyme. In 1875, to cope with rising attendances, the club switched to a ground at Sweetings Field,[5] not far from the Victoria Cricket Ground.[6] At this time, the only fixtures were friendly matches; this changed in 1877 when the Staffordshire Football Association was formed and created a new competition, the County Cup, which Stoke won in the inaugural season, beating Talke Rangers 1–0 in the final. In an earlier round, Stoke had recorded what is still the club's record victory, a 26–0 triumph over Mow Cop. Stoke retained the County Cup in the following season with a 2–1 win over Cobridge and established themselves as the largest club in the area.[1] All we could manage was a 1-1 Draw, after 5 years on the training field... Must work better on set pieces I think.

Wiki agrees with you...THE WORLD AGREES WITH YOU....But our 1st ever game was 1868. Maybe you'd like that stat page to document how well we did training for 5 years, 5 years between forming and playing....

On the day after my birthday we lost away to Palace 3-1 6/9/69. We beat Burnley 2-0 only 3 days earlier, I thought you were older than that Shangs, or was it a different 2-0?
