Argentina said - We get a 75,000 full house when we play Stoke and a 75,000 full house when we play Barcelona. You had 50% less people in your stadium when you were in the Championship last season. Sure you would get the same joy from beating Rochdale, so much joy in fact that you dont even bother to turn up in the first place  [/quote] I would go and watch it, you wouldn't, that is the difference between proper Stoke (and Man U) supporters and you. |

Players like Ronaldo who are so arrogant. he is a class player yes we all know that but does he really have to fall or dive or trip everytime someone goes near him. I would truthfully not swap The Brit for Old Trafford I am Proud to be a Stoke Supporter and I always will be. We have Pride, Passion, great fans who stay behind the team. Proper Fans

My friend is a United supporter.. He is terminally ill with Cancer and asked me if I could get tickets to the Stoke game, as he wanted one last chance to have a laugh at Stoke’s expense.. I rang United and explained the situation, and asked if we could get an exec box and bring some of his family and friends, also united supporters, to watch the game and meet the players. I was told there was no chance of meeting the players or getting an exec box and that I would have to pay full wack for any tickets.. I can guarantee you if it was Stoke playing at home, I would have had a full day out at the expense of Stoke, and he would have got to meet some of the players – despite Stoke being able to fill the stadium 50 times over for this particular game... Anyway I paid £150 per ticket to get a decent seat and have a meal before the game(probably United’s most unattractive fixture of the season).. I now know what Roy Keane meant by prawn sandwiches.. Not one, so called, United supporter even stood up to cheer a goal; half of them didn’t even know a game was going on, and just nattered for the entire 90 mins.. It was a surreal experience; although judging by the look on my friends face, it has added 20 years to his life – not sure that the rest of the people in the posh seats next to us, would even know what the full time score was.. Personally I came away from the game truly happy to be a Stoke supporter and can’t wait to get back to the Brit.. I can quite honestly say I didn’t think supporters like that existed – why were they at the game?.. I suspect also that your man who dives and the other one that kisses his badge and now despises the club he owes everything too - sum up the cut-throat attitude of both players/supporters and the company that is MUFC.. I have made a point over the years of sitting with away supporters while going to watch Stoke.. I suggest on Boxing Day that you do the same, you might find out what true passion is all about. The support I witnessed at the theatre of dreams yesterday was truly the worst I have ever witnessed on all my travels and an embarrassment to the name of football. Sadly there also seemed to be a lot of Man Utd supporters outside the ground without tickets, these probably being the true supporters trying to get a look at their heroes, while 50% of the attendance(toffs) in the ground weren’t even watching the game.. Everything that is shite about the modern day game: Cheating overpaid players, un-charitable management and a greedy boardroom is summed up in the package that is United.. Great post and sums them up 100% |

As good as Ronaldo is, he 'aint fit to lace Bestie's boots. |

It depends what you mean by a gloryhunter, obviously. However, given the location of S-O-T, and its lack of glamour, I doubt we'd get many of the hangers-on associated with clubs like Man United, even if we were winning league titles.
Of course our crowds increase when we are doing better: that applies to any club. But the VAST, VAST MAJORITY of people going are Stokies and always have been.
