Great to see that we are now ranked as some of the best behaved fans in the premier league. Promotion has certainly SCFC the world of good and we're now a family club. I'm not really surprised, as I've not seen trouble in years. Away fans can feel safe when they visit the Brit....even United.

Who are united? West ham? Newcastle? Manchester? Cambridge? Come on, it's those 'fans' of 'United' that travel from Ireland, Cornwall, Birmingham,Ball Green, Weston Coyney, in fact, all over the country to watch their favourite TV team, those United fans.

It does seem these days that Manchester has stolen the terms "United" and "City". A lot of league tables in the media drop "City" from our, Leicester, Norwich, and Swansea's names.

Great to see that we no longer have a problem with hooliganism. A few kids with smoke bombs...that's about it.

Pity that the new big screen corner would become a hotbed of hooliganism if it were ever built, wouldn't it, Mr Scholes?

Away fans needn't worry about travelling to Stoke any longer.

I don't mean to piss on your chips but we are the only club in the prem with a designated away enclosure where away supporters are coached directly in.
Away fans on train are given handouts on coming off the station advising them not to go into town but to drink in a designated uni bar or the terrace pub across the road before being safely bussed to the enclosure safely .
This doesn't happen anywhere else so I wouldn't get to carried away its just carefully policed,if away fans were to appear in town in numbers a battle would certainly ensue .

Most clubs supporters have been educated progressively and it has changed the whole feel in pubs and around stadiums.
In Stoke town this has never happened as large groups never appeared due to policing and reputation since the 80s I suppose. We all saw what happened against Newcastle in the cup that year. Stoke fans just are not used to seeing large away groups singing in their town centre pubs.
I genuinely think if another teams lads turned up in town it would go mental, around the ground is a different story obviously.
Ask yourself why the police encourage them to stay away from town, it doesn't happen anywhere else.

Mate....I was daft years ago and part of it all The likes of myself have moved on and no longer have interest in it but the younger element are still there awaiting the opportunity and high profile match It wasn't a personal slant at yourself about being delusional but given the opportunity it would happen

Its good that you can go into boozers with opposition fans.i was in the pub on greenstreet last week.in the early 80s theres no way that would have happened, you needed eyes up your arse.in a bizarre way I miss the edginess a bit.there was a camaraderie in getting in and out in one piece.stupid thing to misss I know.but there you go.

Leave the rough and tumble types to throw beer around on the concourse and piss in sinks, and leave us upper tier west standers to be in awe of such a splendid spectacle.

That's not very nice at all. I have a full pair of bollocks, working in perfect order but I haven't booted anything around town ever. Real men don't fight and cause commotion.
