Roots went that match, I was 14, still recovering from my road accident, went down on the train. When going under that bridge caught the start of the trouble, still couldn't run because of the accident but luckily me dad and uncle grabbed an arm each and ran with me. When we got back to the train, sat down, this little kid about 10 was throwing stones at our train, suddenly out of know where this chubby copper came on the scene. Started to chase him but there was no chance, the Stokies were singing and clapping. Never forget that day and many more that season.

Did anyone actually buy a piece of the so called county turf that was being sold on the train back for 50p?

I got mine from the goal mouth itself and always kept it on me at the match for good luck, it was in a sealed plastic box.
The number of times coppers searched me and, with a gleam of promotion in their eyes, would suggest that it was weed ;D
Wankers.

This was a special day in my memory bank for a few reasons firstly I never used to drink at away games because of the possible violence I always wanted to give out more than I got if you older lads no what I mean. But on this day went into a pub right outside the ground and got pissed on pedigree , the next part I don't know how it happened but I went to the bog and on my way out someone sold me 2 lb of bacon, it was market day apparently. I took it into the ground where the lads decided to rip it open and throw raw bacon around the crowd.
When Richardson scored the winner it went mental, like you have never seen, my last recollection was when the team came out my brother climbed up into the stand only to be thrown back into the crowd by Alan Durban .
What a day! I am pissed in cancun at the moment and so any incorrect recollections will be strongly denied .

Even my wife ran on the pitch after the match, which our kids (now grown up) think was awesome.

I was at both the County and Cambridge games with the lads from school. Remember coming back from Cambridge and the coach we were on started to produce smoke from under the back seat whilst trudging up the M6 We made it back to Stoke tho intact.

Cambridge was a great day I saw a furniture van pull up outside the ground and about 60 Stokies jump out of the back of it...last minute winner lost a shoe in the mental and never got it back. Notts County was still one of my greatest ever days out- not surprised the Notts County fans dont remember it- they didnt turn up!.....The Phantom penalty taker and the crowd reaction to going one nil up before the players came out was one of the funniest moments in 40 years of watching Stoke.The Police being bombarded with offal and a Pigs head was also very strange- saw two Stokies having a proper set to on the big open terrace- they had fallen out over a mars bar!...Pitch invasion was awesome at the end...one Stokie left the ground carrying a crush barrier. I went most games home and away this season- our followings were magic- 4,000 at Coventry, 10,000 at Wrexham, 15,000 at Notts County...3,000 the norm for any game in Lancashire...The comment made earlier about Mansfield- this was the previous season when our followings were also good-there were 6,000 of us in Mansfield that day- three pitch invasions, a wall being dismantled and thrown onto the pitch, a dangerous crush and unconcious Stokies being passed over heads to the front- some one could have died that day....then Back to the Meir where Forrest were waiting on their way back from Liverpool...now that was carnage

Was this the same season we took a horde to Norwich and half hour from Norwich they called it off because of frost. The police arrested 5 bus loads for taking it out on a cafe in spalding, and we were all herded back for investigations!

Notts County was my first away game, I was 14 and managed to get on one of the special trains. I went on my own but met up with a couple of school mates who I also lost as well in the crowd. The main things that stick out in my memory was the phantom penaly taker and one of the crash barriers giving way where I was standing. Has for the game I don't remember much I could'nt see anything I was too small, but the atmosphere was unreal and I was hooked on away games after that. My next was WBA the last game of the following season then once I left school and had some money I went to most if not all.

Anyone remember the midweek game away to Barnsley where they locked hundreds of Stokies out and there was a riot in which a police horse got punched full in the mouth. The law were shaking like shitting dogs.
I started all that and they had to let us all in as it was kicking off big time ;D

Me and my mate Paul were talking about this game last night. How many of you guys remember the number of cars with red and white striped scarves hanging out of the windows, and the huge Stoke contingent that was there that day when a late Paul Richardson header secured promotion?

Post by Deleted on Jul 23, 2011 12:56:28 GMT
Yep, spot on. Alan Durban managed to get a message to the lads that they needed to score. I saw him shouting to Paul Richardson, and quite soon after that, he scored the goal. What a day!! What a journey home and party afterwards!!!

Then there was the imaginary penalty taker before the game. Stokies gave the best of order, upstepped the taker and we were in dreamland.
Great day and an even better ending as up rose Richo to bag us promotion...

There's a great thread on "Those Were The days" (over on the other channel).
It was a monumental day. You simply could not have scripted it. I think Paul Richardson scored the opening goal that season (at Cambridge) as well - a game remembered (by me) for a particularly profane version of Boney M's "Brown Girl in the Ring".

Fantastic day all round.
A little piece of the pitch will be forever a part of Mum and Dad's lawn.
