Why are you bothered about them? Why don't you let them get on with supporting whoever and you carry on supporting stoke. Instead of being obsessed with them. I don't see the problem in a person wanting to "support" any team they like. Who are we to tell them who to support but aslong as you concerntrate on your own team and not let them turn you into bitter sounding twats

I'm not bothered by them, it's their problem! Tell that to your fellow stokies. When glory hunters are not their problem they seem to do everything they can to make glory hunters their problem. Where's a moderator when you need one? Oh no someone with a different opinion to yours whatever will you do?

They are people who wear branded merchandise and pretend to have some affinity with a club they know precious little about. Not content with that the souless wankers want to tell the world about just how big a fan they are. Real football fans hate gloryhunters because they haven't even walked a yard never mind a mile in our shoes. They don't have their weekends ruined when "their" team loses, they aren't still thinking about it days later. Real football fans live it, gloryhunters haven't a clue.

Oh and apart from that , them choosing to support a.n.other team apart from the one from where they grew up deprives their local club of a fan, multiply this by a few thousand in small provincial towns and thats why many clubs are perpetually on the brink, but being a supporter of a big club from london, whos had its fair share of glory hunters down the years, i wouldn't expect you to give 2 shits about smaller clubs .

If you care about football you must surely want the best for football, football should be about identity, passion and community shouldn't it?

Hold on i thought glory supporters didnt really give a shit about football so if they are not supporting Chelsea united spurs Etc.. I highly doubt they would support a smaller team.

I agree so you must be a bit worried about the sudeen hike in attendances at stoke?

Well I suppose there are 2 types of gloryhunters , those that goto games, and those that don't .
The legions of replica kit wearing morons who trapse round shopping centers at the weekend the length and breadth of the country wearing the shirt of one of the big 4, is a product of the Televised game age , an age which has contributed to the 2nd type of gloryhunter. The other type is the person who has no connection what so ever with the area , but supports the team , despite their being perfectly good league clubs near to where they grow up, who because they aren't so succesfull aren't deemed worthy, so they start attending games in another town, another city etc .

I agree so you must be a bit worried about the sudeen hike in attendances at stoke? Not really no, we've had 23 years outside of the top flight and sank without a trace. I wonder what your crowds would be like if you ended up in League One now? The extra 5000 people who have started attending on a regular basis are welcome, hopefully many will stay long term. Most will have been to Stoke games on many, many occassions but haven't had season tickets due to the standard we were at. It would be great to think that all clubs fans continue to go no matter what division they are in but it simply isn't the case. The main difference though is that the people who have started to go again are Stoke people in the main and that's how it should be.

Who are we to tell them who to support but aslong as you concerntrate on your own team and not let them turn you into bitter sounding twats Because they are PARASITES and a CANCER killing the game. If everyone was like them we would have only three or four clubs left, and football would die as a professional sport! Maybe if these pricks had the piss taken out of them every day of their pathetic lives by proper fans they might not feel so superior and cool ponsing around pouring scorn on their local clubs. BM

BM How are they killing the game when 95% Don't even go? Come on now history, it's wood for the trees time now. That's the reason they're killing football as the game that is loved by those who attend is now governed by the interests of those who want to sit at home and watch.

Still at least i wasnt a vale supporter last season ha ha thats almost funny, I take it you must mean tyneside , or you would know that historically many stoke fans used to watch vale play when stoke were away, some even went crewe when they played on a friday night . Not me though, 3rd season ticket in last 4 years , although the infamous binary season nearly killed me
