Similar thing happened to me when we got promoted v Leicester. I was meant to be in the US on a working trip so never got a ticket to the game. Trip got cancelled a couple of days before I was meant to go. Watched the first half in the Holiday Inn. At HT decided to take a stroll down to the ground and there were 20 - 30 outside smoking at the corner of the Sentinel / South stands. Mingled in with them and got in to watch the second half!

As we're on the subject of Bolton, there was a group of us having a good old piss up on the green outside Wembley for the semi-final when a minibus of Bolton fans pulled up obviously didn't realize it was Stokes end for the day, the usual Banter started with the Stoke fans singing "wanky wanderers" all in the spirit of the occasion no trouble everyone enjoying the sunshine and beer determined our day at Wembley was going to be a good one. One of the Bolton fans a big meat head type had had a few too many beers and started to give it the big bollox beckoning the thousands of Stokies for a fight and one duly accepted a small guy about 5'5" ran across the road towards him, now in a head to head you wouldn't have given the Stoke fan a chance but when as he got near the Bolton fan he started to take a swing but at the same time tripped, his momentum carried him forward like Superman taking off and he landed his one and only punch flush on the chin of the Bolton fan, he sparked him clean out with his friends standing over him trying to calm things down, he was out for about 2 minutes and just as he was coming round the cops pulled up, helped him up then arrested him, the Stoke fan had disappeared into the crowd by now and that was the end of the Bolton fans trip to Wembley a short and memorable one for him. The rest of us carried on and got quite pissed before going onto enjoy possibly the greatest ever day for Stoke in the last 40+ years. Gouranga.  |

On the original story, I can only very vaguely remember there being some fuss about a Bolton supporter behind the dugout. Does anybody else who was there remember anything?
I must admit that my abiding memory of the game was being deeply unhappy that Fuller wasn't offered a new contract.

Absolutely 100% true, after the match several of us were walking back to the pub to meet up with the rest we travelled down with and one of our "lads" - Ant was leaning over this 12 foot wall arguing and giving dogs abuse t a small group of Bolton fans who were pissed off to say the least a bit of long range posturing ended up with bottles being thrown both ways only for an unrelated Stoke fan to come running up to lend his help, he picked up a bottle and threw it full pelt only for it to smack Ant on the back of his head leaving him with 4 stitches, the rest of us knew it was wrong but what can you do except piss yourself laughing. Every minute of that day will stay with me for the rest of my life, it was the last Stoke match my brother ever went and I have so many fantastic memories of it. Gouranga. |
