Saturday the 6th of December. Stoke lost 3-2 to Cardiff City, and as some of you will recall i came onto the Oatie board and offered to sell the rest of my season ticket to the highest bidder. I had given up on SCFC, we were going down and i wanted Pulis to go..... Saturday 6th of March. Stoke beat Watford 3-1 and put themselves just 3 points of the playoffs, i am now Stokes biggest supporter and in love with Tony Pulis (Nowt queer mind) am i the worlds most fickle supporter?

I might not be a born and bred Stokie, but since I have started supporting them as my first choice team (all kids in those days had two teams, Stoke being my second team to Chelsea) I have not wavered in my support for them, and have always been proud to say that I support Stoke. It meant a lot of piss taking from the lads down this way, but I took all the bad times on the chin, and didnt let it get me down. not like you, you tosser, a few bad results and you were ready to ditch the team/club/manager. It is obvious that people of your ilk have no spine, and Stoke and their real supporters do not deserve to be associated with twats like you

I don't know if I'm just imagining this but almost every time I see Rex posts he is having an arguement with someone?

RRP, no I'm not always arguing with someone, Its just that I speak as I feel, now if you feel the same way as Smeegs then obviously I would hold you in the same contempt as I do him. You either support your team or you dont, a real supporter supports their team through thick and thin, and being a Stokie means there is more thin than thick. Maybe thats why people of my age seem to stick with it. The youth of today live in a throwaway society, and it seems it doesnt stop at football clubs either

You piss me off with your arrogant points on everything!

Tattoos are just a symbol, and can always be covered up or removed, I once had a girls name on my back (cos I Was/Am stupid (take your pick) but had to have it sorted out before I married cheryl. I also have Stoke tattood on my arm in lucky six dice. but it doesnt mean I am any more a true supporter than say someone like owd pissy slippers cos he hasnt got one!. But you came on here and openly said you no longer wished to be associated to the club. Anyone worth their salt would not of said anything and kept their mouths shut and thought about the complications of it. You, being the thick bastard you are just bashed away on the keyboard and thought you were the big I am just cos you could chuck the club in the bin, it wouldnt surprise me if you became the new breed of Arsenal supporter from the north (very much the manure in reverse) Rex

The youth of today live in a throwaway society, and it seems it doesnt stop at football clubs either Rex Firstly I never said I agreeed or disagreed with smeegs or you. I was merely pointing out your tendancy for getting into arguements on this board. Secondly, I, in my opinion, am a very loyal supporter of my beloved football club. I attend all the games I can manage to get to. I don't have a S/T at the moment but I am getting one this season. Despite not having a S/T I have attended every home game bar midweek games as I have to work. I have never booed the team off or booed any player that has been playing for Stoke City. If you read the post 'Stoke=Life' you will see what an important role Stoke City FC has played in my life recentley. I'm sure you'll have your opinion (as ever) on how loyal I am

RRP. I havent questioned your loyalty whatsoever, I just said that if you were the same as smeegs then I would hold you in the same contempt as I do him.
Question, does it not piss you off that the home stands were near enough full for the shite game, but we havent got anywhere near that gate for games that actually matter?
Obviously more people like smeegs about than what people realise.
and another thing, why cant people read what I put, instead of glossing over it and not digesting what is actually written?
You are not the first and wont be the last.
Cue for Pricey & Co to come on here and say what a twat I am and how he/they are never going to speak to me again, and ignore me ;D

It's a tricky one really Rex. If these people don't turn up for these sort of games then we are made to look foolish because we couldn't fill our ground for a match against one of the best teams in the world.
I think the club should run some sort of initiative (spelling ???) to reward the people that are there every week. There should be cheaper tickets in cup games for season ticket holders. Maybe if we drew a Premiership team in the F.A. cup, not only should S/T holders get cheaper tickets but maybe some one that brings 5 stubbs from recent matches would also get a discount.
Also Rex, I read perfectley what you posted. And it sounded, in my opinion, that you were 'tarring' me with the same brush as you were with smeegs. Maybe you didn't mean it like that but that's certainley how it came across

Post by Homzy on Mar 9, 2004 23:20:46 GMT
I'm with Rex on this one! Some Stoke 'supporters' piss me right off,they're never happy unless they're moaning. An example is that most people would agree that to succeed as a team,you need stability yet if we got rid of a manager every time someone cals for his head,we would probably get through 6 a season! I for one never had the slightest doubt that Stoke would be safe this season,but no matter what,i would throw my support behind the lads. If Stoke went bust and ended up playing in the Doc Martins league,i've no doubt i'd still be down there week in week out because Stoke is my team no mattter what. Attendances of 13,000 make me absolutely sick but you can bet there'll be 25,000+ if we made the playoffs. People asking stewards where their seats are and all that. People who stop supporting a team because of bad results,shite board,no money for players,etc,i would rather had nothing at all to do with the club. Take the good times with the bad,and be forever City.

I have to admit I agree with Rex on this one. No matter what the score or how bad weve played I would never dream of not coming again to the next match or giving up on the club. However Rex mate, I know you say what you feel, but sometimes you could put it slightly better.
Im off now for a stiff drink after agreeing with Rex on something.

Fuck me, let people do what they want. If they've had enough, let them go. It's only a hobby/entertainment at the end of the day however much we bang on about being a 'Stokie forever' and all that bollocks.

Post by Sfance on Mar 10, 2004 1:47:55 GMT
I gotta go with Smeegs on this one. Sorry Rex, can't take your side every time. Smeegs is the man, mainly because he has the balls to come on and offer himself up as a punchbag. Who among us has not a hundred times wondered why fate made us Stoke fans? What's so awful, after an absolutely dreadful run during which the manager was clueless and the players couldn't seem to do anything right, if someone throws up his hands and says "take this fucking ticket off my hands, I can't stand it any more?" And who among us, Smeegs included, I'm sure, is not back in a couple of weeks pushing his way through the turnstile? It's fate. You can't fight it. The very least you can do is have an occasional moan. And who knows, maybe Smeegs' cri de coeur was the very thing that touched off the come-back.
So, Smeegs, here's to you. Well done, son. Never mind the critics. Deep down, if they're real Stokies, they know what you were talking about.
Roll on Reading.

Thanks sfrance, If i was seriously going to sell my season ticket i would have done so, my threat to sell it was maybe a protest towards our bad form, and as a paying customer surley im entitled to have a rant...we all do it dont we?

Post by OldStokie on Mar 10, 2004 8:32:18 GMT
Here's 'owd pissy slipper's' view for what it's worth. Smeegs hasn't done anything that many of us at some time or other who are passionate about the club haven't done. People are different. Some are laid back - some are more volatile. Doesn't mean that any are less passionate - just means that some people let off steam occasionally. I'm in the Smeegs mould. I do it often but never out of malice, simply out of passion. Now don't you buggers who've not done it say that I'm saying that you aren't as pasionate about the club as I am - I didn't say that. Passions affect us in different ways. Smeegs is ok and a good stokie. Rex is ok and a good stokie. They're just different and should accept it. OS.

Don't worry about it Smeegs. We all say and do things in the heat of the moment which we regret later. The main thing is that you're still a Stokie and you still go to the games.
After the 0-1 defeat at home to Fail in the promotion season, I threw my toys out of the pram and decided not to make the long journey to Colchester the following Wednesday.
As it turned out, the lads won 3-1, I missed a brilliant goal from Bjarni, and felt a right twat when my mates came home to tell me all about the game.
Needless to say, I won't be throwing a strop and missing another game (unless circumstances dictate)!

Part time supporters are a pain in the arse. Neither smeegs nor Rex are in that position and I respect them both for their views. The one's who annoy me are those that ONLY turn up for the big games or when the team is doing well - if they stuck at it with the rest of us the momentum would surely lead to MORE big games and the team doing well MORE of the time. The new pricing structure is designed for that very thing - I hope everyone supports this initiative and we see much improved gates next season.
and Pricey, if you want to see commitment, wait until Crewe. Ther'll be a guy in the car who'll make you wince ;D
