Is there any Stokies in Stratford upon Avon?. Im coming down for a couple of days tomorrow before coming back for the match.... Im staying at the Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel, and going into Stratford to take in a bit of Shakey history.

Yes, me! Been a fan for 50+ years, don't go so often these days, but was there last Sat. Born in Audley, but lived in Warwickshire over 30 years. You'll enjoy staying at the Alveston Manor, really smart hotel, but the theatre area is one huge building site at present while they demolish and rebuild the theatre.
I met another Stokie down here recently, (thought I was the only one) she and her husband are ST holders (have been for years!), but have never lived in Stoke. They CHOSE to support Stoke (rather than Villa, Blues, Coventry, Brazil) which is fantastic. How many fans like that are there?

Do Maccas really own Alveston Manor? Seem to remember that the team used to stay there back in the seventies when playing in Brum or Cov

They don't have Big Mac and fries on the menu, mate. Different Macdonalds.
