Stoke fan since 1960s and many years an ST holder.
Stoke 4/10 Tedious in the extreme. There were times this season I wouldn't have bothered going had it not been for meeting up with mates for a beer. ST renewed so still be there next season.
Champions league knock out: 8/10: for skill and athleticism the Man City vs Real Madrid first leg was the best game of football I've ever seen
Pemiership: 3/20 mostly predictable; last day was good though
Womens: 3/10 trying to work up an interest but struggling

Stoke games 10/10, that's interest not enjoyment.
Champions League 8/10. Got free BT sports with new Virgin deal and really enjoyed knockout stages. The wife not so much as she has no interest in football and couldn't get near TV on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Premier League, zero (not watched motd since we were relegated).
Internationals, zero. Only get interested during tournaments.

Loved it, been to more away matches this season than I’ve been to in the last 20 years. Got a bit bored of it before Covid but I think the break has made me come back wanting more,
Now if we can just get it right on the pitch next season could be a corker,

I don't celebrate when we score anymore, I just know wanky teams will out-championship us and it's like a deadened response.
Seeing players like Clucas celebrating after scoring, for me, registers almost nothing. I recognise It's a good thing for stoke to have scored, but beyond that I can't engage.
Stoke: 3/10? But I've been trying to watch less. It's like weaning off an addiction. They don't deserve my time or effort until they all put in 100%.
Champs league: 0/10 I usually watch the final and I don't care about the rest.
Premier league: 4/10 just for fantasy football really - enjoyed watching spurs. Then you get the insufferable cack like 'wIlL stEveN GerRArDs team w1N iT fOr LiveRpo0l'
Internationals: 1/10 - Just don't bother anymore

Too much money in football, all the grounds are the same. Boring boring boring. Not sure where I go with it from here. I only watch stoke games now and they're shite.

Did 4 home games and about 6 away. was pointless buying a season ticket i never used it. Gradually had less and less interest in Stoke as time gone on. Have gone over to non league now virtually full time. I see no inspiration from this club from top to bottom its a clapped out banger. Where's the direction from the club? There is none.

Not much.
Life is seemingly so busy, there’s a lot of things to do on weekends, finding time for football is becoming less and less a priority.

No jeopardy for me in the premier league but a casual watch , champions league similar , internationals id rather be locked in a cage with psychotic lion , Stoke remains enormous but the lack of energy given off by the leadership in the boardroom and the team management just sucks the enthusiasm out of the support yours truly included , i go because its in my DNA i got truly engaged in 3 or 4 games maximum and that’s not about me its about the club and management providing the spark and right now i see nothing to suggest any one of them have a clue how to do it , I’ll be there , i wont boo but god we need some energy and life , i hope the new COO can help , he or she , cant be worse than than the last one in setting an upbeat tone in supporter engagement but ultimately its down to the manager to provide a Team and a style that engages the supporters win lose or draw .
you see what Conte has done at spurs , Barton at Bristol , , Robbins at Coventry , Cooper at Forest , Rooney at Derby , to name but 5 and there are others and the whole stadiums are responding to the personality and energy of the manager

I watched Stoke games as a socialising thing after the calamitous Forest equaliser.
Lots of other football ⚽️ I've thought was ace. 🇮🇹 Italy not reaching the World Cup is staggering. Bundesliga is tedious but serie a was brilliant. In Spain 🇪🇸 it was intriguing to watch Barcelona adapting to life post Messi. Enjoyed watching Potecoglou shoving the smirky comments down everyone's throats. But Van Bronckhorst is building a resilient team at Ibrox. Next season you'd have to fancy Rangers.

Interest in football and the relevance in my life has waned significantly over the last few years. It may be an age thing but I have many other interests that leaves little time for football. In my defence even though I have lived overseas for many years in the past I have paid hundreds of pounds in airfares to follow the potters as often as I could. have to admit that this is the first season since I started supporting Stoke that I haven't attended a single match.Anyhow.... Stoke 2/10 It's been a woeful season of shite football and a huge missed opportunity for promo Premier league 1/10 I rarely watch the premier league but the final day was a blast Champs League 3/10 The early rounds are dreadful and predictable. However the later stages have been good. Non League 6/10 Attended a couple of non league games Whitchurch Alport made qtr of FA Vase lost to winners Womens footie 0/10 I have no idea what this is

Glad I asked to be honest as been interesting reading the replies. Can relate to many where basically time is spent elsewhere having a nipper so football at the weekend is no longer so much of something to rotate a Saturday or Sunday around. Maybe it grows back when the kids have moved on and there's time to fill again.
On the womens football that was more just a stream of conscious rather than expecting many to be into it. All I would say though is if anyone has a daughter that gets into playing I've seen/heard three types of dads at the u8's - those who embrace it, those who send mums with no interest instead and weirdly even a few happy to mock how shit they think it is.

I think of being a Stoke fan (supporting "my team"), and being a fan of football in general as 2 distinct things. Over the years my interest in football generally has steadily declined, to the point I barely know who is top of the PL, or which teams are in the final of the Champions league. Nor do I care much. I'm still addicted to Stoke though, and I'll watch every match if I can. I'll watch England matches too, as that's "my team" on the world stage. I've a bit more interest in Women's football as my daughter plays, and I've enjoyed seeing how the numbers of girls playing has increased since she started at U9. There's at least twice as many girls in the club at that age group now compared to when she started.
PL - 2/10 CL - 1/10 Stoke - 8/10 Women's - 5/10

Stoke - 4/10 with a 6/10 for the odd away game as it's more fun
Women's football - go with my daughter to games and watch on TV, has been good 7/10 (also looking forward to Euros in summer)
CL - never watch properly till the last knockings so some great games at that stage 8/10 3/10 for the rest of the bloated tournament
International - boring mostly can't be bothered to watch 2/10

Stoke - 9/10 Season ticket next season for the first time since the penultimate Championship season before promotion. Before that though I’d watch us whenever on proper Sky and sometimes red button, and highlights unless we got beaten to nil. I’m forever on here checking if anything has happened.
Premier League - 7/10 I check all the results but only watch live games occasionally and if either team is Liverpool or Man City because of the quality. Highlights if something interesting has occurred like a heavy Man Utd defeat.
Champions League - 3/10 Check results of English teams and watch highlights of later stages sometimes. I don’t have BT so my interest is limited to that.
Other (Championship, L1 and L2, cups) - 3/10 Check of results limited to affecting Stoke and betting. Watch the two cup finals.
England - 9/10 Watch all the games, love Euros and World Cup.
Womens - 0/10 No Stoke team on tv and the quality is poor.

Its been great to get back into grounds in person after all the lockdown nonsense, go to most Stoke first team games home and away so that's 10/10 even when results and the style of football aren't always what I hoped for, will not stop going to games unless I'm ill, too many friends have passed away in recent years and if they're somehow looking down they would surely say keep going to the match. The football on offer on TV/Internet is also good, there's so much choice from around the world now there's not enough time to watch it all. Football is great, the greatest game in the world, and my interest in it is still high.

Stoke games - 2/10 last season was a grind. Nearly didn’t renew ST but cracked and renewed, regretting it already. Champions League - 7/10 Football light years beyond the above. Premier League- 3/10 much as I try can’t get interested. Internationals - 4/10, but 10 /10 at tournaments where I get genuinely interested. Women’s Football 0/10 - Standard generally poor and attendances that would not see this football getting anywhere near the coverage it gets if it was Dover Athletic for example.
