Picture a cold, mid-week night in February. We're in the Championship and we've got Brentford at home. There's 10,000 empty seats, Paul Lambert is the manager and Erik Pieters is one of our best players.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Our attendances at games is shit but our love and passion for the club is strong and will never die. The Allams are destroying the club and taken the heart and soul out of it.
You have no idea what they have done over the last 4 years. They said they were saviours. They weren't. They're businessmen who saw an opportunity to make money on the cheap out of a council asset and land owned by the council but the council said no. The stadium was paid for by the people of Hull and wasn't to be given to them for nothing. The Allams spat their dummies out and have vindictively taken the club apart. The list is endless. The name change soley down to the council being called "Hull CITY council". The Allams hate the word City because the City council said no.
I've been going for over 50 years. Just cancelled our memberships as I can't stand the toxic atmosphere. It's not our club anymore. Breaks my heart. When they go the ground will be full to the raffters again like it use to be even when we were in league 2.
Take the piss if you like about our crowds. That's football tribal rivalry but try and understand how you would feel if this was done to your club.

I think it was obvious that was your point. Anyone who interpreted it otherwise either didn't read your post or chose to misinterpret it. I am definitely NOT looking forward to dropping out of the top flight. It took us 23 years to get back last time and as an 'out of town' Stoke fan it felt like we we barely existed at all, we may as well have folded for all the media attention we got outside of the Potteries. |

I may feel different as I'm not an out of townie, but the media coverage in the championship is still fairly decent? Still on sky, still get highlights on a Sat night. We may even get more coverage if we get relegated and actually start winning games? We barely exist within the media now anyway (apart from when we play the top 6???)..... you never know.....in the championship Bojan may become Stoke's Hoolahan...... |

The Championship is objectively unbridled wank. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying to themselves.
I can't say I blame them because the thought makes me want to blow my own head off, so if they need to cling on to some vague false hope that's fine. But when the reality kicks in, it will kick in hard.

Well they got you to the Premier League when my recollection is that for most of my football supporting life you have been a 3rd and 4th tier club so they can't be that bad. As for the name change why are you so bothered there is no such place as Hull any way maybe they just got it a bit wrong they should have renamed you Kingston City. |

But when the reality kicks in, it will kick in hard. Despite the obvious drop in quality of play and opposition I'd say football is always better to watch when your team has the balls to attack the opposition. Personally I'd rather watch us having a go in the Championship than camping on the edge of our own box in the Prem, obviously I'd much prefer to watch us having a go in the Prem but thats been very rare these last couple of years I haven't enjoyed many of our games simply due to our own pathetic approach to them. |

Nothing is going to be perfect until you win it, but I'd take biased pundits and prima donnas in order to see, without debate, the overall best Stoke sides of my life, the best individual plauers, enjoying being in the public consciousness, being globally famous, the amazing coverage of Stoke, being able to watch us with absolute ease every other week if I can't make the away game. Being the best version of ourselves as we can be, pitting ourselves against the best of the best every game, the fact there are no "givens", the full stadia, the boost it's given to the city, the death of the gloryhunter as an acceptable playground state of being. The increased success in both League and FA Cups we've enjoyed, our European adventure, the fact that none of these three things will happen again without Premier League players. The esteem and respect afforded to us, the ground improvements, the list goes on and on. In the Championship we might win more (we might not), but we'd have to sacrifice a lot of the above, and for what really? We'd be better, bit at a worse level. That's a fucking pathetic outlook to have on life, being happy to drop down to win stuff? There's nothing to be proud of in saying that's a good thing. The overall matchday experience is worse in the Championship as well. Small time clubs, kick and rush from EVERYONE, music after goals, empty seats, no coverage, wank atmosphere (and yes it is wank, even if it's wank in the Prem at the moment, the Champ is even worse). Literally the only benefits are more games on your Season Ticket and some different away grounds to choose from. |

It would be nice to actually win a few games and maybe get some confidence back in the vain hope we may bounce straight back? I am bored to death of the premiership and all it entails, my love of football starts and ends with Stoke, no matter what league.....i simply despise the Premiership at the moment. I would even take being a yo-yo club at the moment as being a consistent 9/10th/11th is fookin shit, even cup runs will be thing of the past as the top 7 can't all get Champs League so may need to go down the cup routes for any silverware..... |

Totally understand the benefits you're on about but from a completely selfish point of view the only thing that really matters is whether I enjoy watching the football or not. I'll miss the streams for away games but non of the other stuff really means anything much to me at all. From a sporting perspective obviously you should always want to pit yourself against the best but from a simplistic view I just want to enjoy going to the ground and enjoying a game of football at any level. Obviously there are no guarantees we might carry our gutless defensive approach into the Championship too. If we do go down I hope we try to blood young players I'll enjoy that and can be a lot more forgiving of their mistakes. I really hope we don't take the Aston Villa approach of retaining and bringing in even more old heads I'd be really happy to see the back of the lot of them. I think its disgraceful we've been delivered to this point but I'm not totally negative about how it could all work out but it could go either way I suppose, a defensive minded team full of old heads in the Championship next season would probably finish me as a ST holder. |
