the site you getting these from has labeled up a map wrong
goto stoke (south) from 1890
there is NO fucking way that map is from 1890 nor 1880 possibly not even 1870 , there is no sign of any stadium at all , which we were playing at from about 1876, nor any sign of sweeting's field where we played before that

Heres the link to the site.Really interesting.http://www.thepotteries.org/index.html Dave it most probably was just that at the time a field.I doubt there was a stadium as we think of now .  1927 aerial photo centred on Spode's pottery factory, Stoke  The Ivy House Works Josiah Wedgwood's first factory  What ever happened to him .We should get him reinstated.  |

Dave are there any images/photos of this .For a long time now our history has been the focus of a lot of speculation as to when we were truly formed.Im not saying we didnt have a team then just interested if there are any photographic evidence of the sweeting fields ground. |

As a small child I thought that the man on Lewises was Jack Frost.
I also want him reinstated.
