So, here I am, minding my own business at work (wasting time on the Oatie) when these two chaps walk in. "We're here for the match tonight so thought we'd pop in" they said with a harsh Northern Irish accent. "Oh, your Bolton fans" I replied. "No, we are Stoke season ticket holders and fly over EVERY WEEK!" That is true commitment. Bloody brilliant stuff

Gloryhunting bastards.
Them tickets should only be given to people with an SOT postcode. In fact the club should introduce stringent checks at the Brit. It should be compulsory to have drunk 8 pints of Bass, reveal a Stoke tattoo (preferably home made, lower arm) and provide proof that your Grandad was either a potter or a miner.
Owrate!!!

Los Alfareros, You tosser, my sons and I travel over often to see the mighty potters from Ireland, we have over the years wondered why there was only 11,000 at the matches when so for many people there's no traveling to do. Where were we when Stoke were playing in the third tier, I'll tell ,we were there, where were you? Up the potters

I think the club should give the players a campaign medal if we survive - or print a star on the shirt next year or something.
To me it'll be a bigger achievement than manure winning the league and all the other trophies!

That would be a great idea Wembley and the 'campaign medal' is something I have discussed before.
