It’s a fair comment when you have a one off defeat and didn’t deserve to lose. But we’ve been shit for 4 years. 4 games left and scrapping the barrel at the bottom of the championship. Christ.

Quote me when I said it’ll solve it? I’ve also got all day The whole point of any protest, for anything, is to TRY and make a difference. If we all had your thought process nothing would ever get done. So you couldn't I see and changed the subject Look forward to having a laugh at you in the Sentinel Careful now No I couldn’t, but neither could you? We aren’t all idiots mate, some of us just normal folk who are concerned about the club

Perhaps some catchy chant or tie yourselves to the railings. Will surely influence things . Quote me when I said it’ll solve it?

I’m sure you’ve said the same as me and been saying this for near on 4 years. Yet it ain’t going happen and with only a few games to go we could get relegated. If you’re happy to just post on a message board rather than doing something then fine. . You stand in a car park shouting. That'll solve it. 😁😁😁😁 You post on a message board and happy for us to be relegated. That’ll solve it 😀😀😀😀

Some people really need to give their heads a wobble, we are in the midst of a global pandemic where millions across the globe have died, and yet going down to the ground to have a hissy fit at a gutless bunch of millionaire wankers is the key most important thing in their lives. Deary me. You happy to just watch us go into league 1 then with not a word said? Global pandemic yes, but the whole city isn’t out for it is it? A few people wanting their voices heard. If you aren’t on board then fine, but don’t criticise those that do

what good will a protest do? Personally would like to see a bit of solidarity and a result I’m sure you’ve said the same as me and been saying this for near on 4 years. Yet it ain’t going happen and with only a few games to go we could get relegated. If you’re happy to just post on a message board rather than doing something then fine.

Why would they listen anyway? They dont give a Donkeys Donker for the club or the fans. They might not listen. But we can only do so much. We are the fans, and when these players leave the club and leave it a mess and potentially in league 1, who’s going be there? Us. Won’t sit back and let it happen without them knowing our feelings first hand

Really? What do you hope to achieve, apart from extreme negative publicity? The Sentinel would be all over it like a rash and we would become a bit more of a laughing stock than we are at the moment. Sit back and watch us sleep walk into League 1 then.

Pointless and wouldn’t improve anything but make matters worse. It’s down to previous managers signings the club allowed by backing their appointments. We have to stick with this man if he is prepared to stay and let him clear them out overtime. I’m sure that was what he was going to do even if we stayed up. The enhanced difficulty is in a lower league we have the same problem as before no one will take them paying fees and we would have to subside wages. The downward spiral continues... Nothing to do with the current manager. It’s down to the players, some from premier league era, some from Rowett and some from Jones. We’ve got a squad assembled that is shambolic. Down to the players and the board.

It wouldn’t make any difference, they don’t give a flying shit as long as they get there pay packet Fair comment about them not giving a shit. But it matters to us, we are the ones who will have to watch this week in week out.

Any Stokies heading out to Prague this week and if so what route are you taking? Should be a cracking trip, we are doing Prague via Poland. Can't beat an England away adventure. Me and few others are heading out. Friday morning via Brussels to Prague. Sunday train to Bratislava, then a flight to Sofia Sunday night. Home Tuesday via Rome.

He really needs to keep his gob shut. I don’t know why there is an interview from him nearly every day. every time I look on the Sentinal there’s a new article. Digging himself a deeper hole.

“We will come through this, whether it’s with me or they change manager tomorrow, they will come through this and then all the good work won’t have been wasted.”
Sounds a broken man.

I can’t put into words last night, I was honestly speechless.
Last season, I did not expect us to go up, but I did not expect us to do as bad as we did. I have walked out of many away end over the past season and accepted it, but last night I didn’t know what to think.
People on social media bang on about stats, but they honestly mean jack shit to me as 9 times out of 10 we end up losing.
Last night was rock bottom for me as a fan, I didn’t even feel that bad when we got relegated.
I will still give Jones time, but I honestly see no light at the end of the tunnel after last night.

It isn’t safe standing as we know it (with a rail seat). it’s normal seats with a barrier in front.
Plenty of grounds have this (Spurs new stadium, FC Koln I remember from a few years back)

So let's have a recap who's going Duisburg? 4 of us going although I might ditch the women because they've expressed an interest in shopping!!!! 5 of us going from Stone. Estimated numbers of 300? If announced properly with a sense time frame to book could have been 500/750 8 of us going and I know plenty more too. Haven’t had much time to plan for it but dussledorf is ideal to fly to and not hard to get to so hoping for a decent turn out.

I commented on this to my wife when I got home with the Kids- must have been a minimum of 200 Officers deployed may be more. Nearly all I saw had access to riot equipment and a number had stab vests. They looked on edge as though they had been wound up in their briefing to expect disorder. They kept the coaches back for nearly an hour as well As far as I could see there was no trouble whats so ever, and the small Bristol crew to our left were absolutely pathetic and incapable of creating major disturbance Is the incident at Preston and the obvious drug abuse in the bogs at West Brom following us around? Don’t think they kept the coaches back on purpose? Where we parked was shite and was just general traffic getting off I thought

People on here have really short memories. It fucking baffles me! Shaqiri, the same Shaqiri that refused to chase a ball that was 10 yards in front of him? Charlie Adams fitness has NEVER been a part of his game, throughout his whole Stoke career. The sending off was harsh. Rooney, the 'victim' did the same a week later and no yellow! So thats that theory out the water. The penalty miss? Are you actually trying to say that it was totally his fault? The way Jese kicked off?! Such a crucial stage of the match. It was already a pressure pen without that. I for one will not be attaching whole blame on Adam. He has to take blame as part of the team that got us relegated however. Thank God the oatcake does not represent the majority voice, most of you lot are actually deluded! Got to be one of the most hilarious posts I’ve ever read on here So Shaqiri not chasing down a pass ten yards in front of him was one of the reason for our relegation? Correct me if I’m wrong but I think he actually scored in that game too Shaqiri was our top goal scorer, top chance creator and top assist maker. Charlie Adam was shit for almost every minute he played last season. On top of the red card and penalty miss, he was doing his best to give Leicester a win at their place and assisted Newcastle for their winner at our place. He didn’t say shaq was to blame for relegation for not running 10 yards to chase a ball. He’s saying that everyone will jump on the bandwagon of hating charlie for not being fit but other players didn’t track back ext. Stoke as a team got relegated, not all Charlie’s doing not shaqs doing, everyone played a part.

The points system has to be bollocks though. Because of work I have been to one game in the last 3 years which was Rochdale at home last season. I therefore have 15 points. My brother who is a season ticket holder and went a good few away games last season doesn't have 40 points. How doesn’t he have 40 points? If he used his own season card and went to 4 games then he should have at least 40?

Not sure what the clubs game is here making it only 40 points ? Thought they were supposed to reward loyalty and guarantee those with a certain amount of points a day or two to guarantee their ticket ? Add to that there’ll be a few people on holiday and they gave just 11 hours notice before they put them on sale Every Tom Dick and Harry has 40 points, it’s a fucking shambles again Said exactly the same yesterday mate in the Away ticket sales thread,when will the club ever learn🤔 Think it’s because the points have been cleared from the 2016/17 season so only last seasons count, so if the 2016/17 season points were on there it would probably be 80. Still, it’s a joke as like you say everyone has 40 points.

Anyone on the 20:04 return train considering the game finishes rough 30 mins before? Good luck catching that ....from memory it’s a good 30 min brisk walk and due to traffic longer in a taxi I know, done it before but was wondering if anyone had bothered booking it. Next train isn’t till ten past nine but last train to stoke is 21:43. Buggered.

Are we just forgetting we’ve got Allen and Bauer on long term contracts when we all expected them to leave ....that was superb business and two players crucial to us Those along with Etobo Federici and Afobe says it’s quite a good start to our summer but still plenty to do I think the issue is that Allen and Bauer aren’t new signings are they? All good getting them to stay, but the quotes from Rowett suggests he wants more players and that isn’t happening for him. Don’t forget the window shuts early aswell so after Germany there’s only 2 weeks till Leeds. I’m not concerned but some are.

For the sake of football I hope England don't win this competition. They are worse than Greece when they won the Euros I think we will get whacked by Brazil, France, Belgium or Uruguay anyway I hope you’re joking, but if not, fucking live a little and just enjoy the buzz whilst it’s still there for fuck sake

Also, can I ask where you’re getting £400 each way from? Just been on skyscanner and Friday - Monday is about £170 return Ryanair, easyjet and lufthansa, but returning Sunday Go on skyscanner, gives you all airline options and will be cheaper

I did it through travel republic, got flights, hotel and transfers for £305. Would have been more if I had done it separate. Maybe worth having a look Was that recently? Also, can I ask where you’re getting £400 each way from? Just been on skyscanner and Friday - Monday is about £170 return
