"Land of smoke and glory" is the original I remember from the 70's To be fair that sounds like a decent one to get going. It was: "Land of smoke and glory Home of Stoke FC Higher, higher, higher Onto victory" Last two lines are a bit lame in IMHO, maybe one of our budding bards can come up with something that rhymes/ends with 1863?

Personally think we should leave Forest out of it. Like the smoke bit. Have e mailed Tim Rice for that elusive 3rd line. Will give you an update

Whole song is rubbish,. It's same tune predecessor was much better: We hate Nottingham Forest We hate Chelsea too We hate Man United But City we love you

Loving the LOGO guys.
I honestly think is going to make a great atmosphere from the first game of the season. Going to the footy used to be about having a good sing-a-long in the Boothen End at the old Victoria Ground.
The boring naysayers can sit in the family stand and moan to themselves in virtual silence!

Second one's too like another local club's colours? Stick with the first colourway. The logo with the Stoke Ramblers colours is the main one - just an alternative logo to go alongside that for any merchandise we sell. As merch sales will go to help fund banners, murals etc..and who knows in a couple of years safe standing (rail seating). Also some of the money will go to help local charities, as one of our main pledges is to be part of the community - a crowdfunding account will also be set-up.

Unfortunately no reply from Tim Rice. He's probably writing a musical about goats who form a wandering dance troupe or something.
I'll 80s combo Toto Coelo instead

Been told that an announcement on Twitter said more than half the allocation has been taken up already. Will there be an announcement at some point to say what the final total will be for people who've swapped for the area?

United hey? Good lord no thought has gone in to it As stated earlier in the thread and I've expanded further on it: Unita is taken from the club’s and the city of Stoke-on-Trent's Latin motto 'Vis Unita Fortior' - 'United Strength is Stronger'. Everyone in the group deliberated using either Unita (united/unity) or Fortior (stronger), but after a democratic vote ‘Unita 1863’ was decided on. We see it as a word that is part of our history and even if we are not named ‘Stoke United’ - we are brought together in unity for our love and passion for Stoke City. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new united chapter for the fan base. We didn't want to just use Stoke 1863 (not very creative). If we used the whole motto it be shortened to VUF, which is very close to Vale's hooligan firm VLF - wanted stay well clear of that! Just to comment on the murals section: inside the concourse and outside the ground there is too much concrete (eg:- the wall by the new-ish corner), and nothing inspiring, we want to get murals - dedicated to Sir Stanley Matthews, Gordon Banks, Greenhoff, Stein, Fuller, etc. - this will make the place feel even more like home and inspire everyone around the ground.

The bar in the South East Corner (Block 36), will stay open for an hour after the game - all Stoke fans welcome.
Enjoy a drink and some food, discuss the match and let the traffic die down.
This is just the start of improving the match day experience. Thanks to Anthony Emmerson for sorting it out - credit to the club.
Eventually there will be a playlist of songs playing and possibly a discount on the snappin'

Moved my seat to be part of this after 15 years in the Boothen, really looking forward to it.
I hope we ALL create a fantastic atmosphere tomorrow, from all areas of the ground and get the lads off to a brilliant start.
