Does this mean where were you born, if not in Stoke on Trent?

Does this mean where were you born, if not in Stoke on Trent? I think we can safely say most Stoke fans were/are born in Stoke-on-Trent.

Yes, you don’t get many glory hunters who switch their allegiance from their local team to support Stoke. I always assume when I see someone wearing a Stoke shirt down here in Warwickshire that they either live Stoke or like me are originally from there. I’m usual right. Most people I know support Villa, Blues or Coventry.

Was born in Manchester to a family of Man City fans and now live less than a 10 minute walk from the new Spurs stadium.
Supporting Stoke is like dating an absolute muffler but your job is dressing the Victoria's Secret models.
Yeah, cheers grandad..

Born at the Mat Block at North Staffs (as was my son over 30 years later, whose mum flew back from Hong Kong at over 7 months so he was born in Stoke!) to a mum whose uncle played for Stoke and a dad who played for us himself as a youth teamer. No choice as to which club to support.

I remember Les Lowe...Sadastic Bastard...He'd be on a charge in these PC days. Deffo shagging Mrs Bird...Lucky Twat. Juicy Janet Les was not the only one shagging her mate (allegedly), Les was sound with me probably because of the football, but he could be one cruel bastard he hit one of the lads in our year with a shovel for pissing about, you didn't mess with cod face. Very good footballer and cricketer as well was Les Knype Vics and Knype Cricket Club, taught me a lot mainly how to wind the opposition up and dark arts of the game, as you say he would have been imprison in the PC obsessed world we live in now. Ahhh hitting young boys with a shovel. Happy days, innocent times. As you say the PC brigade have a lot to answer for.

Born at home around the corner from the old Vic ground but from late teens moved quite a bit around the country before finally settling just north of Liverpool. My lads were born in Salisbury and Southport but are both Stokies, thought that has been entirely their choice.

The left have got a lot to answer for. There's a whole generation of children growing up without the the educational advantages of a well timed shovelling. And think of the economic consequences. Spear and Jackson have never recovered from the plummeting sales of the "Kiddie Stunner" No 3. The country is going to the dogs. Bloody lefties.

Whenever I watch a quiz programme like The Chase or Egg Heads and there are young competitors on, I think there is a whole generation grown up without an education.

Same here - having said that though there was a lad who lived in Holly Place (now gone) who was a Vale supporter !! He was tolerated though because he was the only one who had a “Casey” and he wouldn’t let us play with it unless he was captain and we called him Valiant . How is Glenn? Ha Ha - I don’t think we are talking about the same lad. Actually I think the lad I was talking about went on to work in the publicity department at Stoke City. Wonder if he disclosed his past allegiance 😉
