Proud to be a Potter!

[swst]

Got home tonight from England. I was over (with my sister and niece) to see the game at Old Trafford, and result-wise it turned out to be "not-too-good", but atmosphere-wise it was outstanding!
My niece asked me "why on earth aren´t the home fans singing?" and I said "they´re just tourists I guess" :-).
Well, I´m a tourist too, as I´m Swedish... but I think I could qualify for a "real Stokie" anyway! :-)
I taped the game on my video, and the sheer volume of the Stoke-fans on the telly is just as astonishing as it was at the game.
I´ve been over twice this season (1-3 vs Bolton, 0-5 vs Utd). Maybe I should stay away from away games for a while?
I seem to bring bad luck, so hopefully the "curse" will end if the next game I attend is a home game.
Also I would like to say Hi and Thanks to everyone I met and spoke to in Stoke and Manchester during our (too) short stay this weekend. Extra thanks to the helpful guy who tied and untied my big Swedish Stokie-flag on the away end. Nice to see that some pictures on this site includes the flag! :-)
I´ll be back again soon, to a _home_ game, I promise!

All the best, cheers!

Hi Stefan,

I'm a Stokie but was sitting with the mufc fans about on the half-way line on the opposite side of the ground to the Stoke fans.

You could see your flag perfectly! It's lucky Stoke's away kit matches the Sweden colours just now isn't it!?

Cheers Mate!
Gods.

On Saturday, it was one of those days when I was Proud to be a potter!, anybody there that was not, does not understand the meaning of being a true fan of a football club. We never stopped the signing, even though we were outclassed, On one of the Man utd fan forum websites someone had posted(on a side note, the fans were shit today. it sounded like a stoke home game at times, Embarrassing) that really summed it up to me, when it comes to be a real football fan we outclassed them. We cant compete with them and we all know that if you have half a brain, and to expect anything else last week as a dream!. Bring on the Baggies and Hull and lets all sing are hearts out at the next two home games.
