I agree with number 1. In fact the top 5 isn't bad. Smudge would be my No 2. We're talking 'influential' here and nothing else. After those two I'd choose every single one of those magnificent fans who travelled to Ninian Park as a collective No 3. That was the turning point of what we are now.
OS.

You and winger influenced me most. You painted such a dark picture during the Pulis era that I didn't go and haven't been back since.  We're cursed, I tell yer, cursed!  |

It's an outrage... this will result in 5,000 wanting to return their season tickets in protest Ziggar probably wouldn't give a shit ( though I would never dare speak on his behalf) but its poor to leave someone out who missed only 3 or 4 games over 50 years ( including reserves), who had a hugely successful play written about him and had to really struggle in many ways to keep up his commitment just because he has a tendency to upset the establishment. The most committed and loyal fan I have met in my 50 years. The games he missed were because he was in hospital. Outrageous |

On a Stoke City message board being called an ex Man Utd fan is a damning accusation. I don't know the facts but wouldn't be surprised if it has the same validity as other accusations in this thread. People should be better than to mindlessly slander others. This might be the Internet but we are also a very small niche' band of people, we should be above some of the pitfalls of modern internet usage such as bullying, trolling, the spread of false, damaging rumours etc and yet in this small thread we have seen all of those ills. I just don't get where some people are coming from and never will. It's been doing the rounds for a long time, and when you hear from people who know him, it appears as though there is some validity to it. |

I just don't get where some people are coming from and never will. It's been doing the rounds for a long time, and when you hear from people who know him, it appears as though there is some validity to it. Still though, there was another rumour about Bunny losing faith pre-premiership and then turning up again after promotion. I don't know whether that was an unfunny joke or a genuine post, but if it was the latter then it's utter nonsense. Also, I can remember posting in a thread several years ago (after hairy potter won supporter of the year I believe) saying that I went to almost every away game from 2003-2006. In the earlier of those years especially, when ID cards had only just been introduced and the team was still a poor championship side, there were times at the sparser locations where you could have a look round the away end and you'd literally recognise the face of the majority of your fellow stokies, and even be on first name terms with a fair few of those. From those times I don't remember the hairy potter and am pretty much certain he wasn't dying his beard back then, but when I insinuated he had only appeared since we've been a high profile club (yes I know that makes me a hypocrite in the context of this thread) there were several people in that thread who assured me I was wrong and that the guy had been a supporter for years. Certainly no mention of Man United fandom. I'm not particularly bothered either way but if I was then I wouldn't know who to believe. It does sound to me somewhat of a recent pernicious rumour, maybe devised in response to hairy potter being awarded supporter of the year? Undoubtedly it is a silly award for the club to give really. Maybe they should consider awarding it based on achievements, maybe if some stokie saves some lives doing charitable work in third world countries or wins awards for heroism or something like that, maybe that's who such an award should go to. |

This has hit some nerves, 5 pages? Influential fans in the modern game is a misnomer surely?

Influential in what way though? None of them have any sway on me personally and I'm sure that's the case for many others on here. My most influential stoke fan was my dad, without him I wouldn't have the passion for Stoke that I do now and have had for the last 35 years.
We see where this bullshit playground list got us this week with SLP getting ideas above their station and letting it go to their heads.

I got thrown out twice, but never arrested. Only the 'real' hooligans were arrested. |
