How can anything as good and fun as this provoke a negative reaction?
I've shared it with loads of people at work, and family overseas, who have never even heard of Leek - and that's the point. Leek folk doing something a bit daft and putting themselves on the map!
God bless the lot of them. Please do something similar before Wednesday's match!

I don’t think anybody has taken it negative mate ? I think an off the cuff comment about the people of Leek has not been taken in the context it was meant and that what many aren’t happy about, not the thing itself ? I think it was superb

Tend to believe that with some on this site , to misquote PG Wodehouse, it is never difficult to distinguish between a Stoke fan with a grievance and a ray of sunshine

There more mutants in leek than there are in the Marvel Universe. Now i know where the word 'culling' comes from. You should pop over to Leek mate to voice your opinion. I would but I've been banished.

Some of the most loyal and decent Stokies I've ever met are Leek born and bred, and if you want a really good, friendly night out on the piss you'll do well to find better. Wind your neck in...... Oooo pardon me for having an opinion.

You probably haven't even got a dog.......

Come over and I'll let him sink his teeth into your miserable fucking arse. Mind you I might have to take him to the vets after to get some shots as you don't know what he might have picked up when hes munching on your scabby butt cheek.

Next week the return of Benji followed by a best of series including Mumf and Staffordstokie anecdotes. It would seem that way. It was a pretty offensive post to be honest, if you're from Leek. It's certainly not the way that I would speak about fellow Stokies. Your choice though. Just not my style.

Benji for all his faults has never, ever, reacted in the aggressive way you have when being called out. You appear to be all on your own on this one mate.

Must be the sun. ☀️☀️ Sometimes it's better to say 'I got it wrong'. It will give you a lot more credibility. Your post was provoking towards the people of Leek and has made you look a bit silly, in my opinion, as you've said that nearly 30k people want culling. All of this because they were celebrating England getting to the semi final of the world cup. I'm hoping you're better than that.

Was born in Leek, lots of Stokies in the town, many of us with six fingers on at least one hand Thought this was brilliant though, and captures the mood of a lot of footie fans now I was born in Leek too , which makes you my cousin for sure The pub in the background, The Bird in Hand...lived there for 2 years in the '60's and my younger brother was actually born in the pub

I wonder if it would have been as bad, had it been any other place in the UK. Anyway you seem like a level headed guy fish, and it seems like my comments have unintentionally stirred up a bit if a hornets nest, so I'll take it on the chin and learn from experience.
