Despite having a season ticket, I haven't been to the last 8 home games.
As many have said, it's about apathy. The whole experience is stale and I can always find better ways to spend my time at the moment.
Have bought up for next season in the hope something will change but I'm not expecting it to.
Having experienced Bundesliga games I concur that we could learn so much from the Germans. The fact is, fans don't matter to Stoke.

What can you expect of a club who's manager said "if you want entertainment go and watch some clowns at the circus" without sanction from the club.

So you’re going back to the late 70’s to try and slag the club off now🙄

The fact they keep employing these dour fuckers tells you they don't much care about the matchday experience. Answer suggests I'm right though doesn't it and how could you possibly question the mentality of the club.

So the 10 seasons in the premier league count for nothing then in your thinking?In the last 44 years we’ve had different owners,all sorts of different managers,some good some bad just like most clubs of our stature.I’m afraid you and one or two others on here live in cloud cuckoo land

The vast majority of it has been under a form of Coates ownership and featured dour, conservative, defence orientated managers. Happy to go through them with you if you like.

The least we could do is have a real life Hippo in a water hole painted red and white. Easy to organise and cheap, hours of fun pre kick off

I didn’t like TP, I don’t like TP but overall he did a good job here. The football wasn’t to my taste at all for long periods but he got us to the PL and that’s unforgettable. Pulis and Hughes both have positives and negatives but overall their impact on this club was more positive.

You can't deny his acheivement but like I say it was far from entertaining most of the time. That one run (I don't know 10 games max) cup final season it was exciting and I hate to admit quite good to watch. Then he ripped it all up and gave us Charlie Adam playing off Crouch which was dismal. Lou and Hughes are the only 2 managers of my time that I have liked and even I wanted Hughes sacked nearly 12months before it happened his malaise was that obvious.
