I don't think it will be in the first year we go down (if we go down); as I think most will renew. However if we fail to come straight back up then it would make sense for the south stand to be fully away fans as some bring huge followings and the revenue will be superb. That been said its all been set up for the Premier league. The away fans would have to enter the stadium in two different areas unless the fence segregating the home and away south stand smoking areas can be removed. Wouldn't think removing and relocating a fence would cause to many problems I'm trying to hang on. I love my south stand seats.

Can always swap seats at half time depending which why stoke are shooting -ie: block 29 when shooting towards boothen or block 33 when shooting towards south stand. At least our new shiny seats will look good on the football league show. Wonder if south stand will be away fans only again.

After 14 years of marriage mine still asks why I have to go out 3/4 hours before kick off. They just don't get it! Just book a table for Valentines Evening. If she likes snooker it’s a bonus. I once bought her 2 tickets for Chubby Brown at the Vic for Valentines day

Nobody would buy us. Coates to stay Scholes and Cartwright to go for me. If Coates were to go we'd be screwed and I think its very ungrateful for people to be calling for his head. Haha behave fella. Peter has milked the cow that is Stoke's Premier League existence until it's lying on her side, on deaths door, ready to be made into rump steaks..... Or more likely in our case shitty Big Macs. Coates HAS to accept some of the blame here. No question. He certainly does but for me its only for his misplaced trust in Scholes and Cartwright

Fuck... you ok mate? It's only a sport after all. 😂😂 yeah I’m good, just annoyed at those running our club. It’s only sport but people are likely to lose jobs if we drop down, my son being one of them. People forget the economic impact on ordinary folk when this happens. Those millionaire pansies should be ashamed of themselves for what they've done to our club! Not just the players but Scholes and that fat cunt Cartwright!

If we win at Leicester and Saints I will start to believe you but it looks bleak and there is little evidence of much fight in this squad Award for outstanding contribution to comedy goes to.......

I don’t think it is to be fair, Coates employed these idiots who have run the club into the ground and just sat back and let it happen, we need a complete change. Planet cuckoo mate! Nobody would buy us and invest that sort of money

The transfer team and CEO(Scholes) are responsible for the day to day running of the club and should be sacked. What happened with Hughes we don't know..his selections were questionable to say the least and constant swapping and changing of players in not their positions baffling...he has paid the price..so should the others. A mass clear out of players is required we have too many pensioners and crocks(long term injured) and we need fresh young blood with pace and enthusiasm bringing in. Spot on!

Peter Coates. He needs to do the right thing and sell the club, you can’t operate in 2018 with a 1970’s mindset. Nobody would buy us. Coates to stay Scholes and Cartwright to go for me. If Coates were to go we'd be screwed and I think its very ungrateful for people to be calling for his head.

Does anybody know what Swansea have been offering other clubs this year in terms of allocation? I think it's around 2000 max Getting tickets could prove tricky

Hi I ve live in Mallorca and have done for 35 years Its easier to find villas in the alcudia/ pollensa area as palma nova tends to cater for people who want apartments Let me know if you need any other info Having had a quick look on websites it definitely appears easier to get a villa in Alcuida but its a one hour transfer whereas PN is 25 minutes. Are the resorts similar as in size, restaurants, bars etc?

The result, the penalty argument, the captain calling one of his players childish and results going against us. After the game yesterday it was the first time I really believed we were in real trouble. Hughes going, beating Huddersfield, not playing too bad against Bournemouth and addressing our full back and CM positions in the transfer window gave me belief we'd stay up. Now after that yesterday not beating a team we should easily be beating and all the teams around us coming good I actually believe we will go down now for the first time.

Going to hire a Villa for 7 of us in October for my wife's 40th - 4 adults and a couple of teenagers. Aside from the difference in transfer times can anyone tell me which is better Palma Nova or Alcuida? Any of you been to either or even better been to both?

Stay up or go down and the following have to leave; Peter Coates Tony Scholes Mark Cartwright Paul Lambert Glen Johnson Kurt Zouma That Greek bloke Joe Allen Darren Fletcher Ibrahim Afellay Charlie Adam Stephen Ireland Jese Saido Berahino All except Coates, Lambert and Joe Allen for me although we may have little say in the latter as he will be courted by bigger clubs. If we go down Lambert will be a decent manager with good pedigree for that league unless we fancy a stab at Rowett or that Bristol City manager whose name eludes me. As for Coates we all owe him eternal gratitude. It's the board and Cartwright who have little clue in how to spend his money. But make no mistake without Coates we wouldn't have had this Premier league experience, we wouldn't have been to an FA Cup final and subsequently Europe and I for one wouldn't swap those experiences for anything. As a championship club Stoke is hardly a great prospect for new rich investment is it? Coates should of had a reshuffle at the top a while ago but instead was misguided in trusting Scholes and co. ?But either way we would be in league 1 or 2 now without Coates.

The annoying thing is that this is what Lambert promised us in his first press conference. He promised a high press, not giving opponents time on the ball, togetherness and passion. Not seen any of this maybe bar against Huddersfield. Lamberts intentions are good but for the lack of desire from some of the players to implement. A bit like Hughes then Maybe as the group of players hasn't changed a great deal. But at least with Lambert we are organised at the back and not leaking goals for fun. Our goal difference due to Hughes maybe what sends us down. I believe points wise its going to be very tight.

More Home games for the price of your ST! Better atmosphere when all the Premier League cling-ons leave and some go back to Vale.

Yeah attendances are definitely based on tickets sold and not on actually who turn up. I hate that; for me the clue is in the word "attendance". If they attend it goes towards the count if they don't it doesn't. But bigger numbers look better when telling the sponsors how many are at your games. On a seperate note our last 3 home games have been £25 an adult ticket for the boothen and south stands. Excellent pricing. My mate paid £22 at Vale (not sure what stand).

Either way you look at it a professional footballer should not be missing a free shot from 12 yards. The best players in the world have all missed penalties. Messi, Ronaldo et al.

No point singling him out. He's been more creative and always looked a better prospect when he's played ahead of Fletcher. There are countless incidents, misplaced passes etc that have cost us. Bollocks to singling any one player out!

Ok, I'm going to try and be balanced. When Jese come on I thought we looked more dangerous and more creative. It was a positive change. He did ok. Hindsight is a wonderful thing so those saying Shaq or Jese would of scored but they don't really know that. For me if Adam is the clubs pen taker then he's the pen taker. Regardless of what photo Jese may or may not of had under his shirt Adam is the clubs pen taker. Period! Jese needs to remember that he is yet to do a single thing for this club but the club have backed and supported him through the shit hand he's been dealt with his son. He owes us and we don't owe him a single thing. His to quote Ryan "childish behaviour" was a fucking embarrassment. I hope the team put this behind them and Jese continues to come on and pay us back. But I think it was very brave and degrading towards Jese for Shawcross to call him childish. Maybe Ryan wants him gone. Cant see Jese reacting well to that.
