As a Stokie of over 30 years loyal service I struggle to remember when we have had 3 or 4 players sent off in a season.
Our current tally now stands at 8 some might argue that the red card to Halls doesn't count but it's still on the stat's
Is this a record for us? will we be done by the league for our disciplinary record at the end of the season?
Anybody know the answers

Well theres nothing I can say on here that is going to change what happens in the remaining games, so we may as well laugh about it and hope for the best

Don't panic!
Precedent shows otherwise.
There are a number of clubs who make regular trips to FA headquarters at the end of each season.
The first trip usually results in a slap on the wrist and maybe a suspended fine.
The second trip usually results in a suspended fine or an increase in the suspended fine from the first trip, with a threat of more servere punishment.
As Stoke have never been summoned before, then the most likely outcome is a slap on the wrist.

AliG,
That may be what they do to Premiership clubs but this is 'lowly' Stoke. They will probabley try and make an example of us and take 3 points of us. That could damage our automatic promtion charge ;D

No!
Most of the clubs who get summoned are from the Nationwide.
There are a number of clubs who have been charged at least 3 times, none of whom have ever had any points deduction made.
There are a number of things we need to worry about, but, fortunately this isn't one! ;D

Well we've just been fined £5,000 by the FA! The FA are on quite a little 'earner' with us this season, £6,200........and counting! plus another £600 if the Club appeal against Johnson's sending off. We need the crowds to increase so the Club can pay off the fines!  |

Just tell Chrissy Greenacre he's been a very naughty boy and won't be getting any pocket money this week...I can hardly see him raising his voice enough to complain!
