1. Probably not
2. The Harvester and Power League if you can get in, steer clear of Stoke City centre.
3.See above, however no more than Bristol
4.Usual Rambo types that will twat children but won't say boo to anyone over 5 foot 5 and 9 stone.

They recently found a seat they lost when Cardiff visited so you've now got 2,801 2) Away support friendly pubs? Try any in Stoke town centre 3) Any places to avoid trouble with as i hear stoke is rough? The moon. Bristol's hardly St Trofuckinpet is it  4) Whats the stewards like for away fans regarding standing/seating? If you stand on your seat they'll have a strong word with you |

I think the stewards stand up mate Doh fair enough just normally all stewards just decide to chuck people out for nowt just hope they ain't these trouble stewards most clubs have, including ours who seem to be the biggest twats |

1) It's possible, unless the police have imposed that limit. We sometimes use part of the away stand if we're expecting a 20k+ crowd, but as this is on SKY, I think that's unlikely.
2) Not many options close to the ground (Harvester and Power League). Both friendly enough places if you are!
3) Probably best to avoid Stoke / Hanley / Newcastle centres after the match. So long as you're not wearing colours / courting trouble, there shouldn't be any problem, but better safe than sorry eh?
4) Not sure how they tackle it TBH, but if they're as apathetic and ineffective as they are in the rest of the ground, stand to your heart's content!
How do you think you'll get on? Poor run of form lately, and VERY lucky on Saturday I hear.

) Anymore updates on if we will get more then the 2,800 tickets? I think Stoke are waiting to see if there is enough demand to put Stokies in the away end with you, given that it's on Sky i see that as unlikely so I'd expect a few more if I were you.
2) Away support friendly pubs? Harvester, PowerLeague don't go into Stoke especially as the new K/O time gives two hours extra drinking. Don't go gobbing off in your wursel accents either.
3) Any places to avoid trouble with as i hear stoke is rough? see above
4) Whats the stewards like for away fans regarding standing/seating? They won't say boo to away fans.
Have a safe journey to and from the Brit however worst of luck on the day and for the rest of the season.

Cheers for that fellow, na i ain't the trouble kind just sing my heart out all 90 mins, possibly on way to the ground as well Ummmmm well i'd be happy with a point TBH, you now have a good striking options with shola and Fuller although fuller was cack at the gate i expect him to be a livley player for you. Shola i'm not so sure on, it depends on how Mccombe plays as he can be bloody awesome or make howlers. I'd take a point before kick off. Ummm i woudn't say lucky, more took our chance when it came, norwich were good that croft also impressed, but they should of been down to 10 men and that rigters? dived should of been booked but fair play for the lads for keeping focused. |

Good point about the 2800 but unfortunatley there are idiots who don't wanna sing but just sit n watch which annoys me as we take good numbers but people just don't want to sing. Hopefully it will be singers only on the way to brit and inside. |

Fuller was cack at the gate ???
I sat with Bristol fans that game and he may have ended up cack but in the first 25 minutes you could not handle him and your fans were saying what a quality player he was.
He did go into a sulk as the game wore on, but he would walk into Bristols side

I think the stewards stand up mate Always make me laugh when people make out Stoke is like Baghdad on a bad day Im sure Stoke is like everywhere else, keep yourself to yourself and you'll be fine ,walk around looking moody and shouting your mouth off then your going to get a slap. It the same everywhere. Ill be there in Stoke centre keeping my head down enjoying a few bevvies prior to the match and Im sure many more Bristol fans will too. My only concern is the Bristol knuckle draggers travelling without tickets just for a fight! they do this when ever the away team has a reputation and obviously Stoke are up there with the worst. |

Best place for a drink is Stone town centre (about 10 miles?south of the Brit) & then taxi up.
depends hwo many in your group.
If coming by train get a cab & ask for the Greyhound in Penkhull (about 1mile from station) as thats is away fan friendly + good beer.

On a totally different tack - what I like about Bristol City is that they are an old Club with good support. I remember playing them at Wembley in the Auto Windshield Trophy or some other non-event & there were nearly 80,000 fans there equally divided between the two teams & a great atmosphere. This was more than the League Cup Final that year!!
There was also an emotional 'Abide with Me' as a tribute to Stanley Matthews which was well observed & joined in with by the Bristol fans.
So good luck to them - just not in this particular match - the same result as Wembley would be fine.

You'll only get more tickets if we can't shift all of ours (technically you only had to be given 5% which is 1400 - not the 2800 you did get). If we beat Palace and Coventry you probably won't get any more...IF....
Stoke is certainly no-worse than Bristol or most other Cities when it comes to trouble but it's always best to be a bit "discreet" - just in case.
Best wishes for the rest of the season as Wonto says above BCFC did a great rendition of "Abide With Me" in the AutoFinal...
Personally, I don't mind if you win the league as long as we finish in second...
Can't wait for Stoke v Bristol...should be a belter!!!

Although our club ain't the biggest we always had goodish support, even with this seasons prices we're averaging over 15k which is basically a sell out for home end we have around 16k, 3k for away fans and the segregation. Such a good day out to wembley that was, one of those moments you'll remember, hopefully this game will go with out trouble be a great atmosphere and the best team wins. |

We also clapped off Dion Dublin on sat.... instead of acknowledging that some twat norwich fan goes on 606 condeming our support for our songs!!! Although there was a cracking post by a norwich fan on our forum. Best wishes to all stokies and lets hope we both go up!!! |
