I cant be arsed atm to take the two tickets for £5 each for the Watford game, nothing to excite or entice me, the thrill of home games has gone.

Bottom line is, it's just not enjoyable to watch Stoke City anymore is it? I'm getting to the point where I couldn't care if I miss a Stoke game. All too predictable nowadays. First game for me was 1965, won't be going again until this Welsh goon has gone, I have been pissed off plenty of times in those years and seen some absolute dross, this is different we waited donkeys years to get into the top flight and this useless c*nt is pissing it all away taking the piss while he is at it.

The biggest worry is that alot if not all Stoke fans were looking at the clock at 70 minutes thinking... 3-0... I'll take that

I'm giving up my season ticket next year as I work weekends and can't justify using up my holiday entitlement anymore to watch this.
Worst thing is that at the moment I can't wait until the season is over so I don't have to go again.
Cheers Hughes/Coates for making me fall out of love with the club I've followed since the 70's.

Try working in London with Chelsea, Arse, Spurs fans - it's hell Ask them if they like cheering the big fat playground bully as he kicks the fuck out of and steals food from the little kids. BM Best way to deal with bullies is to give them a quick smack in the teeth and once you’ve surprised them with that, lay into them like life depended on it. We don’t have have anyone is this club right now with the bollocks to do it.

I said that at the end of last season. I planned to watch Fleetwood town just 5mins down the road from me, £2 on tram.....don’t have to set out early, save £30 on fuel, no m6 rage, no early morning set offs and late returns just for a 90minute game Monday before the first home game against arsenal I decided to renew 😡 ......Idiot! I’ll probably fall for it all again next season but I’m hoping this season has finally cured my for stoke city habit

That's it one to many capitulations for me I have reached the point where I've had enough every Saturday of people taking the piss It's not the fact we are getting beat it's the manner the lack of fight This proud club is becoming a laughing stock For the first time in nearly fifty years of supporting Stoke I simply no longer care Roll on April start of the pigeon racing season Mate, you care. You wouldn’t announce the fact that you don’t care to fellow sufferers. Supporters above all others care. The whole club is lost & it won’t surprise me if we go down. I can handle relegation, I’ve been there before. I’ll be there if we rock up against the Vale & Forest Green in a few years. The choice was made years ago & so shall it be.

Our aggregate score against the top 6 stands at 4- 26 That makes me not care against playing the top TOP teams anymore. (Which in itself is sad as there's nothing better than taking a scalp)
I do however care about my club and I'm up for the other 13 games. Ever the optimist.

I care, I just feel like I have accepted that the premier league days are nearly over, I am just surprised the club are so willing to let it go, a perm club is worth way more than a Championship club to sell and the revenue is huge. I went long before Being in the prem was a fantasy, I will go long after its gone.

Try working in London with Chelsea, Arse, Spurs fans - it's hell Could not agree with you more. It is absolute shit living in the south when I get continually reminded how we lost to Man City, how we lost at home to Chelsea, how we lost Liverpool. Reminded by who? Gloryhunting wankstains who haven't the bollox to support a club for reasons other than glamour or glory and have hardly actually attended a real game in their lives?. If so you should be taking the piss out of them for the pathetic parasites that they are, not the other way around. BM

The problem is though, as much as we kid ourselves that we don't care, we do, and that will never change. The owners, the management and the players don't care anywhere near as much as we do, regardless of what people say about Coates he doesn't care anywhere near as much as the paying fan, he can't do otherwise he'd have sorted this fucking shambles months ago. No! Honestly I don't give a fuck any longer. I stopped giving a fuck around April last year, I knew back then that if the club did not change tack over the summer the writing was on the wall, I had witnessed it with Wigan, Bolton, Villa, Sunderland and Hull yet Stoke were following the same route, a lack of any real investment, no ambition to further the progress of the club and a policy that just ticking over and existing in the money league was good enough and would pacify all involved with that minimum of investment. The lap of dishonour at the end of last season also suggested to me that I was not alone in my feelings and any one with half a brain at scfc should have seen the signs. It is easier and cheaper to stay in this league once in it than it is to get promoted in to it when out of it, Oh well in general the 10 years have seen some great times under Pulis, fa cup, europe, a regular bloody nose to the big boys at the brit and we have had a few good times under Hughes early reign, when he inheritated a Pulis side and sprinkled in a little bit of skill allowing us to watch the likes of Bojan, Affellay, Arnie, Shak great times..... But if we get relegated, which I think is nailed on the way that we are going.....I really couldn't give a fuck any longer. I will still be there in the Championship competing again...to get in the Prem, you couldn't make it up

I will still be there in the Championship competing again...to get in the Prem, you couldn't make it up Fair enough but I refuse to believe that you don't care. You wouldn't be on here talking about it if you didn't I do know where you're coming from though and I pretty much agree with everything you've just said. I'm beginning to hate this shit league that we are in, but my anger is starting to turn towards the people that run our club because ultimately they are the ones who are responsible for the mess we are in and in an age where we are awash with money to be penny pinching like we are is unforgivable. We are fast becoming the laughing stock of this league and as a supporter it's fucking embarrassing and totally unnecessary. I was watching Sky sports news earlier and they had a montage of highlights from this year and all the football highlights that involved us were of teams banging goal after goal in against us, then the cherry on the cake was showing when Charlie Adam fell over trying to take a corner. It was embarrassing. We are going down, I just don't see any team being worse than us over the second half of the season, bar perhaps WBA, but like you I'll still be there next season watching us compete in a league where at least at the start of the season we have a chance of winning it. Like you say though we will be battling to get back into this shit league and back to just hoping you survive every year. My answer would be to sack Hughes after Monday's game and give the new manager some funds to work with, but I think we all know that that isn't going to happen.

We need to get our club back, seriously, before we disappear into obscurity without a whimper.
The worst of this absolute circus for me is that it has killed my love of football entirely. I love football and until recently I could enjoy 90 minutes of any 2 teams in any league. Right now, I don’t even care about football at all, we’re so wank that by the time I’ve watched 90 minutes of our shite every time we play that’s all I can manage. I don’t even engage in footballing conversation anymore, I’m completely desensitised to everything football.
If I didn’t have a season ticket I’d already paid for I’d definitely not be going to the matches.

This thread shows the state of the modern football fan or glory hunter,yes we are wank at the moment,yes it’s not to good to watch at the moment.But that’s when the fans support is needed,I would of hated to have any of you in the trenches you would most proberly run a mile.City till I die whatever league we are in.

It's not glory hunting at all... it's the utter disdain of the tripe that we are being served, week in, week out with the same old tiring excuse from the increasingly inept Hughes. Of course we'll (most of us) will still be there if inevitably we end up whimpering (almost surrendering of our own accord) to the drop... If we were putting up a fight it would be much easier to handle, but the fact is we are rolling over and accepting the roastings we are getting without even attempting to put up a battle. The second half against West Brom said it all for me.. inept, unprofessional and a load of old bollocks! Enough is enough, Hughes is ruining our club. Ok it stinks from top to bottom at the moment... but he is the clueless fool putting out different formations each week, he is the clueless fool playing people out of position and ultimately has failed in identifying the areas where recruitment was so blindingly obvious needed. He MUST be held accountable and he MUST go!!

What a load of absolute bollocks. Your soldier analogy is a pretty good one though, our Stoke City troops are slowly being killed off and the clowns in charge are leading us into battle without a fucking plan or a clue. The problem is those in charge, not the troops.

Glory hunting my arse I was a proud Stoke fan when we were languishing in the old third division And often told people such in a area where I was the only Stoke fan for miles I often look back at them times with fondness I have just had enough of this tame surrender And all the shit of the premiership

What a complete load of arse gravy, fucking glory hunter.....at Stoke, do me a favour. This thread shows the state of of the modern football club, it's fuck all do with the fans, just explain exactly how this football support that is needed will change the current malaise within the club and what impact this support will do to change the results, I was at spurs "glory hunting" this season along with all the other 3k scfc fans giving my full backing and support when we capitulated to yet another 5 goal hammering As the old saying goes "you can't polish a turd", your basis of super support belongs in roy of the rovers make believe not a struggling football club, a roar may take them over the line but to believe that your super support will change the course of a 90 min game only goes to show your naivety in your thought process, we are proper rat shit and nothing that you or I can do will change fuck all by singing songs from the stands

He MUST be held accountable and he MUST go!! This is why I couldn't give a fuck, Hughes' attitude which is likely endemic within the club - this is his take on the fans against Chelsea - "On the the supporter walk-out, Hughes added: 'That's their decision but it doesn't help us. If they paid their money, you'd think they would stay until the conclusion. I've no doubt they'll be out in numbers again.'" The sheer disdain and arrogance that emanates from the man sickens me.
