Friendlies should be free , just my thoughts ... and a way of giving something for a change for the fans . If they want to charge why not give it to a well deserving cause like Donna Louise charity or similar... or perhaps the takings today does go to charity.

And who pays for the expenses of Genoa travelling?

I bet no one pays for Stoke's travelling ? How good are Genoa , don't hear much of them in the news where are they in their league or are they about equal with Port Vale ?

I agree. It should be free or a small donation to a charity.

Genoa are in Serie A, you know what that is yeah? Funny that the UK News doesn't focus on the Italian Football League, strange. Last season they finished in the position equivalant to Sunderland in The Premier League. With regards travelling expenses and tour funding, i don't know how that's sorted out nor do you. Pre-season friendlies in the UK where a lower league or non-league side hosts a bigger club are good revenue for the smaller club. I know that much. |

They're a lower mid-table Serie A club, much like we are a lower mid-table Premier League club. I'd say we're of about equal stature currently, but they've won the Italian title on 9 occasions. |

Can't complain with £2 for under 11's though. Good opportunity to take a little one to his first footy match |

Genoa should be paying Stoke to come and play here then . Yes make it free and then have a collection for the players afterwards and give what you think the players deserve , I think there would be a few going home with nowt if last seasons league games were anything to judge them by .. ....

Understand the principle but never likely to happen.
Stoke have already made a big gesture to the fans this year with away travel. ST prices frozen 6 years running as well.

Was going to mention that the free away travel seems to have been forgotten about pretty quickly by some. Even staging a friendly will cost the club money so they're never going to let everyone in for nowt. Personally I don't think £12 is too bad anyway. |

Genoa are a good side. Lodi, Gilardino, kucka and others are good players. Maybe the goalkeeper can soffer our phisicall side  no stream today? |

It costs money to put them on so I don't see a problem, like everything else, if you don't like it, don't go.

£2 for under 11's is excellent
Given how much money prem club gets then imho Stoke could have made this game a £1 to get in as a PR excercise.

You mean pass the hat round Like you might for a jocular bus driver who put in an unscheduled extra toilet stop and didn't complain when someone pulled the emergency cord or some strippers who went over and above the call of duty at a stag weekend  I like your thinking, it would be a culture shock for some of todays elite players who exist within the portable seven star super-state of the international rich but I just don't see it flying sadly  |
