Glad you all enjoyed "your" day down the Brit and up'anley duck.
I know you have all been re-badged but you will always be "THE STAFFORDS" to me and many, many more. ;D
Good luck on your move to your new "home" and wherever you and your mates are posted...
remember one thing...
"WE'LL BE WITH YOU, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY"
All the best from me and mine.

My late Grandfather was in the Staffords, as were two of my uncles (his sons). Brought a tear to my eye to see his Regiment at the Brit  (sorry, can't bring myself to think of you as Mercian, you'll always be Staffords to me!!) So proud of each and every one of you lads for what you have done and for the heritage of the Regiment.  |

Its a good job that Pulis isn't your sergant. If he were you be called the the Italians! Always on the retreat.
My best wishs got out to you all. I am proud that young men such as you lot represent our country. Seeing you brings back my faith in the English youth.

Action I made a personal point of going up to one of your lads by the Tank outside and shaking his hand and thanked him for the top job they do, I think he was genuinely pleased with that  |

My son was their today with the rest of the Mercians parading around the ground at half time and believe me, he and the rest of the lads are very grateful for the reception not only the Stoke fans but also the Pompey fans gave them all.
He said to me after when we met
"Dad that reception made us all feel 10ft tall, it was amazing. They made us feel like we are are very important people"
My lad sometimes stands with me in the boothen and has been most of the away matches with me this season. Im going to miss him next year when they go out to Germany and wont be with me on Satde in the Prem next year.

Got to say,walking past past the boothen was probably one of the best times I've had as a stoke fan,the noise that comes out of that stand is amazing,when the England chant started it's hard to describe what I felt.love scfc till the day I die..

The applause were thoroughly deserved for all you brave guys. A special well done/ thanks to the Pompey fans who applauded as loudly as the Stokies. Good luck to all you "Staffies"
