In all seriousness Bolton in the late 70s was nuts absolute mayhem and Bolton 90 was pure street violence,im told by older mates Bolton in the cup around 74 was also mental.
Throw in Wolves the waddo game and Cardiff away late 70s for street agro on Sloper Road and under the bridge post match. Also Man city at home when our lads had a habit of going in the Stoke end seats 80s ,serious violence 50 on 50 in the alleys behind the Stoke End ten minutes before end of game.
Oldham away late 70s hell up on there end and a risky away end assault at Brums paddock and Villas seats resulted in hand to hand stuff 80s.
The Brum riot wass moody to say the least inside and out and a absolute didaster of a trip to West ham around 1980 )Gulp)

Will be interesting ,personally i havent got carried away with Arnies performance last week,it was against a lumbering centre half ala Assiaidi against that lumbering centre half at Fulham playing full back made Assiadi look brilliant. Jurys well and truly our for me with Arnie more bad games than good, doesnt warrant a place in a top ten team maybe squad player. Happy to be proved wrong.

Anthony Emmerson has been in touch,offered ther son and grandson free tickets to a match and pitchside treatment pre kick off.
I have to say the club have been very good about this in constant touch with me really over the last two days and obviously realise that a overzealous steward prolonged the issue on the day and are deeply apolgetic.
Well done Stoke this will get a smile on the little lads face next season.

Emails sent thanks for your help,it makes me feel sick hearing the story of my grandson trapped in a turnstile for 2 minutes frantic whilst no one can help him because of a jobsworth steward.

Post by kevkj on May 12, 2015 9:33:55 GMT
It seems the fact it was a silence hightened the issue they could have comforted my grandson otherwise, the steward told my son to shut up.Thank god the turnstile operator was human.
This could have been handled so differently and sensitively.

I have just spoke to my son who explains the lad was not locked outside but locked in the turnstile ,the steward shut the internal door and because the lad was trapped during the silence crying the turnstile operator took it upon himself to get the lad out the turnstiles and in through a door against the stewards will. I didnt know this bit until now ,thats shocking my grandson left trapped and crying.

Just He had to wait the full 2 minutes then was let out i believe whilst the child stood crying.The steward locked the internal turnstile and left tyhe child stuck y then had to go to the ticket office. Its not the fact the card didnt work,that can hgappen.Its the way it was handled with a small child.

Im looking for some advice .My son took his 5 year old against Sunderland,i bought them the tickets on there membership cards as a treat.
The little lad was a little concerned about the turnstiles so told his dad to go first which he did.
The little lads membership card did not work so he couldnt get in,my son said to the turnstile operator theres obviously a problem and showed a paper copy of the ticket purchase and asked for him to be let in under the turnstyle ,the operator was sympathetic but a steward told him to refuse entry and the lad was frantic stuck in the turnstile alone as you would expect ,then a head steward arrived as my son wanted out the ground to the lad .This was refused as a silence was just starting,the lad just stood crying for two minutes.
Am i wrong in stating this could have been handled better.Would you complain?

Neither persist with Diouff his movement was fantastic on saturday unfortunately a lot of the passers did not pick him out,play to his strenghts ball in front of him and he will score as many as the above two.

The thing is Mark Hughes was never in a position to realise how important a fit Robert Huth was to us .He just saw a slow rusty player returning from injury. The fans knew as we had seen it with our own eyes ,headed clearances and headed goals in the other box,iyt was no surprise that Ryan scored more then as well as he got more freedom as we attacked corners and freekicks due to them having a close eye on huthy. Get him back and get him in.I wouldnt mind a back 3 including Muniesta if we could get some fullbacks with real attacking ideas.

FFS there will be no bordering on very few scoucers in our end.its hard enough for Stoke fans to get tickets.
Whose to say Gerrard will even play they may use their last home game as his farewell.

A couple of million quid should get the occasional goal and assists ,not having this he only cost a few million,Fuller,Higgy,Whelan etc didnt cost as much but did ok lol.

After watching Arnie for over the best part of two seasons ,i fail to see anything resembling a top footballer there.
The lad had a purple patch last season of around 8 matches on the back of the whole team playing well.
Before this he was bordering on dire.He again carried this form on this season.
No goals ,no shots,no assists just gets applauded for chasing back when hes usually caught wrong side.
I really dont get it at all with him ,for me he would be out the door.How a player of such ordinaryness can be adored by some amazes me.

His end product borders on nil.so much better than him out there .Before someone says he didnt cost a lot theres better for the same money in the championship.

Question is SLP how do we change it ?
Our support proved what a difference it could make those first seasons up.
Nothing has chnged but the fans attitudes i suppose.Technically it must have cost us points as teams tip toed away happily with the 3 points.

God its quiet in there ,even the South stand makes more noise with a 1500 capacity in it.
I guess that the people in there have just aged since we moved to the Brit and are less vocal.
Whatever something needs to happen as this is supposed to be the focal point of the ground.
For me a recognised singing section of maybe two blocks which will encourage others around to be more vocal .
How we could do it with most of the ground season ticket holders i dont know.
The place is like a morgue unless the ref upsets us,shocking support of our own team.
