The atmosphere at the wonderful Vic and the huge away followings. Had to go & dig out an old post off here... (The Mansfield one either the away following, or more than likely the Wiki total attendance is wrong) West Brom - 7,500 (29,341) Port Vale - 7,200 (20,373) *Midweek Bolton - 5,610 (19,238) *Midweek Blackpool - 4,875 (8,028) Rotherham - 4,546 (9,021) Burnley - 4,485 (16,667) Leyton Orient - 3,800 (10,798) Hull - 3,297 (9,088) Mansfield - 3,260 (3,426)? Hudderfield - 3,243 (11,089) *Midweek Preston - 3,212 (8,138) Stockport - 2,900 (9,402) Chester - 2,400 (5,237) Wigan - 2,278 (4,775) Reading - 2,100 (7,269) Bournemouth - 2,065 (7,129) Brighton - 1,700 (8,622) Fulham - 1,300 (5,903) *Midweek Hartlepool - 1,275 (4,021) Swansea - 1,200 (8,366) *Midweek Bradford - 1,055 (5,959) *Midweek Plymouth - 945 (8,208) Exeter - 935 (4,106) Those away followings are phenomenal as a percentage of the overall gates, often over 25% and as much as 50% in the case of the Chester game!

I agree with all of the above, it was my favourite time too. I think it was a combination of my age (18 when Lou arrived), the freedom that comes with that age. It was still a great era for music and youth culture, and being 18/19 it was a time when you started to enjoy the fruits of being an adult. Then came Lou Macari. For a guy of my age then, all my Stoke watching life it had been decline culminating in 13th place in division 3. It was a amazing to see Lou create (quite quickly), a tough, super fit squad that took us to Wembley and the League two championship. It was all very un Stoke like how we won that league, especially if all you'd known was decline and relegation. Bang on for me mate!! It was an amazing season but it was that whole period too. I was 19 in 1992. Going to watch bands like nirvana and mudhoney blazing a trail on uk tours and then this wonderful team macari had assembled. Truly great days that i will never forget. Could not have put it better myself.🖒
