...Vale? Following on from the Main Rivals thread on the Stoke City Board. My point being that they could do with the cash it would generate and it would help to reinforce the fact that WE are the top team in the City.
Another reason could be, the mood in the city changes when these games are afoot!!
I put this thread on the GDB because replies are usually better thought out and a lot less vicious.

It would be nice to help the poor Vale out, but the trouble is the ¨trouble¨that surrounds a derby game. Most of the costs would be the Police bill. None event. Sadly.  |

I agree with your reply Arthur, but the Police do their job against teams such as Cardiff and Man Citeh, perhaps their job would be 'easier'? against the Vale? Not as many fans etc. etc. Unfortunately the trouble would reverberate around the City if we were to lose.

probably a contradiction in terms to call it a 'friendly'  but i'd have no objection as long as it was at the Brit so that i don't need a bath in acid to get the filth off my body from Hamil Road ;D |

yes it would be good to trash them 10-0 and i'm sure they wouldnt mind either for the money. its the right thing to do, i can't beleive we havnt done it allready, i feel sorry for vale supporters, its not their fault they were born in Burslem with 6 fingers and 8 toes, it could of happened to anyone of us. A friendly or even 2 each season is the least we can do ( one at the brit and one at vale park) it should be turned into a carnival day, a sort of community day, its healthy for the city too, i'd hate for vale to go out of business, the stoke v vale derby days are the best football days, and no premier league match will ever come close imo. we should also send some young lads on loan to get them back up the league, its only the right thing to do, i'm quite dissapointed with SCFC for not dong these things allready to help the vale.  |
