Are you lot Stoke fans or anti-United obsessives? I think I know the answer to that! I've taken a quick peek on here, and allied to yesterdays game and talking to a couple of 'Stokes finest' on the train home (to Congleton) have safely concluded you're utterly obsessed with and painfully envious of all things Manchester United. 'Glory hunter' this, 'glory hunter' that. Pathetic if it wasn't so funny. 15,000 average over the last five years, suddenly you're in the big league its 27,500 sell outs, with taking capacity to 30,000 or so probably not far away. Magically its suddenly OK and not socially embarrassing to pop along and support Stoke, which must explain why around 12,000 home glory hunters have tagged on to Stokes success. Who'd of thought it, eh? Let me ask, what makes Stoke bigger than say, Port Vale or Crewe? Bigger stadium? Better history? Larger fan base with more pulling power? More money and better status? Better players who just like Ronaldo apparently, (and maybe even Dave Kitson... ;D) follow the money and get what they can when they can? Oh yep, there you go, all the normal reasons that seperate one club from another then. Stoke have plenty of fans in Crewe and Nantwich. What made those Stokies decide to support Stoke rather than Crewe? I think we should be told. What made every Stoke fan in sunny Biddulph decide not to support Vale but instead choose Stoke - despite having to practically drive past Vale Park to get to Stokes ground? Glory? Trophies? (Er, sorry, better make that trophy singular) Better football? Hmmm. Likewise Alsager, Congleton, and the like. What makes the reasons for Stoke being bigger than Vale somehow acceptable, but when those very same reasons are applied to United they somehow cease to be allowed? It's the same all over, the same reasons and attractions, just more of all them apply the further up the football food chain you go. Port Vale > Biddulph Victoria (just) Crewe > Vale Stoke > Crewe Villa > Stoke (Oh, yeah, and Manchester United > every other club.... Hard to swallow but you know it's true.) And so it goes on. More history, better players, bigger grounds, more fans from a larger catchment area, and of course more money. It's normal. However it appears beyond the sense of you lot - an obsessed bunch, painfully paranoid about all things Manchester United and everything the club has achieved and has become. Well yesterday certainly put that into a very sharp perspective didn't it. 5-0. Delicious. (At this point I must apologise. I predicted 3-0 at half time and of course it was only 2. Sorry.) Your team hopelessly outclassed on the pitch, while the fuckers in the stand achieved small-time knob-rock status of the highest order with anti-United histrionics worthy of Citeh themselves. Noisy yes, (very actually, so fair play for that) supporting their team, nah, not while there was time to squawk how they 'only hate Man United'. Perhaps not surprising given that it was your biggest away game of not just this season but probably for years. 23 maybe? To think you lot seriously think there's any rivalry between our clubs. United don't see you as anything other than what you are; a small-time club made good for a season or two in the Premier League. Just like Watford then, without the rock star celebrity fan. Anyway, am off now as no more reason to enquire after your clubs well-being until Boxing Day. Merry Christmas, and do expect to lose 0-4 on the way to second from bottom relegation. Just like my 5-0 prediction you heard it here first. Cheerio! ;D

Congleton? What part of Manchester is that then? So what you have chosen to jump on the band wagon of a club who has won more trophies and has more money why do you then come on here bragging about it? You probably live closer to vale park than the theatre of shit and certainly closer to citeh and stockport. You represent the reason why football is dying.

Typical United fan, always thinking the footballing world revolves around them and them only,and everything else pales into insignificance, when in actual fact, United are never more than a footnote on this message board and in stoke supporters minds, ... do we hate United ? damn right we do, but we played you this week, so obviously people are going to be talking about United, this will fade and as the week progresses and attention will turn to another club we hate, west brom there's a familiar theme with all these United posters, they're all self obsessed big headed tw*ts.

You can almost guarantee that this is the same insular cuntbag that sat across from me on the train back down to London last season with his Manure shirt on pontificating about the beautiful game with a fucking Crystal Palace tattoo on his forearm.
We support our local team!

You local fans are great.
How would you feel if you were from Bath? They're all scum if they dare support a team!

How is showing their average crowd was 20,000 off their capacity in the late 80s when they weren't doing so well , scraping the barrel ? he was moaning about our crowds suddenly rising when we were doing well You're scraping the barrel there mate. The OP is spot on aswell.

When you put it like that , we haven't got a case . It would have been easier to take from you if you was from Manchester instead of Congleton .

If we are obsessed, couldn't we just become one of you?
After all, the many thousands of Man U fans are simply insecure people who have done exactly that.
How can we be possibly be obsessed or jealous about being Man U fan, when it's something literally anyone can be? You carry on your gloryhunting and counting your trophies mate.
We, along with the other real fans in the country, will carry on trying to keep football -as a passionate, competitive sport and a reflection of local pride -alive.

Well I suppose on reflection if I was from Bath I'd go and watch their rugby team. Rather that than be from Surrey and be part of the Cockney reds I suppose, but then again that's just me.

As pointed out 'man from Congleton' anyone from Stoke 'obsessed' 'jealous' or whatever could merely do what you have done - Jump on the bandwagon of 'supporting' a club because they win alot.
It is THAT easy you thick cunt

I'm afraid cockend that there is a world of difference between the gloryhunting pricks that claim to 'support' the shiite and the people who have bought season tickets for Stoke this season. The sad fact for you is that the people who bought season tickets probably used to go to 10 or more games a season but wanted to guarantee getting a seat this season due to higher demand. Contrast that with the pricks who are your 'supporters' the vast majority of whom wouldn't even know how to place Manchester on a map let alone actually go to a game. Are you lot Stoke fans or anti-United obsessives? I think I know the answer to that! I've taken a quick peek on here, and allied to yesterdays game and talking to a couple of 'Stokes finest' on the train home (to Congleton) have safely concluded you're utterly obsessed with and painfully envious of all things Manchester United.
