I’m going to stick my neck out here and say that there isn’t a grain of racism among Stoke City fans, or am I being naive? If this is truly the case then shouldn’t Vinicius take a minor pay cut and sign for the mighty Potters? He should. But at Madrid he knows he has the backing of his team mates and the manager, whereas at Stoke he won't even know who his team mates are for the most part until the end of September, and he doesn't know if the manager even lasts that long. Moreover while scfc fans will back him all the way even when his goals dry up the minute he signs for us, but there are some other grounds where he might feel less welcomed at...

Only just seen this. I felt the same and won't be going back to the Mestella. I'm hoping Elche is going to be a much more positive experience this evening. Better not let them know you are a lefty then…. I'm not a complete lefty but do have some tendencies. I'm currently on my 6th pint and am approximately 20 miles from the stadium. Got knows how I'll respond if I hear any form of racism later 🤣

I wonder if we’ll reach a point where black footballers refuse to go to places with higher levels of racism like we’ve sometimes seen in Spain and Italy?

Met 4 great Stokies on the bus. Much better night. Where are you based fishlovesoatcakes? Someone asked me once, at a birthday party, 'where are you based? ' Thought it was a really odd way of saying 'where do you live?' Is it an American thing?

Racism is rife in football, hence the lack of black players.

Hopefully anyway as it would be an outrageous suggestion otherwise. Apologies to fca47 for not “getting it”
