Fellow Stokies Can I pick your brains. I've downloaded an app for keeping track of grounds visited. I know we played Northwich Victoria at some point, but can't find the date or ground. It might have been the youth team. any help would be much appreciated Sure there was a big pub very close to the ground

We played them in preseason in Northwich 1993/94 which was a 1-1 draw in Lou years if that was the one.

I moved to Northwich in 95 and saw Stoke play there before 2000 if my memory holds up, we also had an U21 side at Witton a few years later.

Interesting fact about the drill field, At the time it was closed, it was believed to have been the oldest football ground in the world on which football had been continuously played

I know Redrow Homes tried to buy it when I was working for them.

The drill field has been houses for nearly 20 years, the new ground was taken over by the chemical company next door and flattened. The new long covered terrace from the drill field was moved to the new ground and then moved again and is now the home end for FC united of Manchester

The result of a dodgy chairman who ended up in jail for 6 years, and a splinter club formed by fans, for the size of the town it's criminal that there isn't a decent sized club anymore.
