The two names, Burnley and McNally mentioned together, used to get me very angry.

Only just seen this news this morning, condolences to you and yours. Went on quite a few of the coach trips your Dad and Steve used to run. Good days out. I think I was on the same trip to Sunderland as others have mentioned. Early morning start to get to a pub on route and then on to a working mans club ??? before the game near Sunderland. After the game a pub stop on the way back in Wetherby ?? until midnight then back home. A few of us went into town from the designated pub on the edge of town for a few beers and on returning found that the bar that everyone had been in was empty. We asked where everyone was and were told that they were in the function room. Went in and found that everyone had been "invited" to a wedding reception. Was a bit bizarre to say the least to have a load of Stokies standing on chairs and tables singing Delilah at a random wedding reception, but the bride and groom seemed happy enough! Strange end to a good day out, and your old man had a big grin on his face when he saw our reaction when we got there, a bit typical of him for something like that to happen. Just one of many away games he organised with other stories.
RIP Quinto.

I have a xstreamTec htpc media player one, it's the dogs for me. Had it about a month, wish I had got one earlier. All the football and films for nowt once you have bought it. Amazon are selling them for £64.99 dead easy to use just make it a wired Ethernet connection, unless you have really good wireless. Just watching Malaga and Sevilla as I type, seems to have every Prem game each week live with really good definition, the box comes pre loaded as well if you are not too savvy with technology( like me). I can only say get one, they are mint.

The Nell Gwynne Pub in the Marina Byblos hotel will have the game on. When I have ever been in Dubai they have every Prem game on. Multiple screens showing different games, easy to find on the Marina and they do a good meal deal. Enjoy Dubai, great place, hope to be back there for a break before the new year.

Bloody hell 19 years ago I was at Wembley for that match. Got lost after the match trying to find our minibus ( no mobile phones then ) and had to cadge a lift back on a minibus, one of the last leaving, which had a Stoke flag on the back. Turned out to be a group of coppers from Stoke and 'Castle. The trip back was an eye opener to say the least, not what you would think our finest police would be, dodgy as the lot of them You would not believe what they got up to :-/They dropped me off outside Maxims in 'Castle at 5.30 am , after charging me money for the trip back. I had to be at work for 7.00 am that morning absolutely knackered but buzzing from the game the night before.

Echo everything said on here. Must be of around the same age as Bunny as used to love going down the Vic of a night match to watch the reserves in the "posh" seats with me owd man. Saw Lummy loads of times and was always made up when John or one of the second team played for the first team as none of my mates knew who they were but I did. Come on John and your good lady, doo eyeet. We are all behind you. One love...SCFC family.

Anyone else at oakmore weeks before ?? F.a. Cup game?. Really could have been us.Have been in a few scary positions through 80's 90's following Stoke. Never worried about any situation apart from this .Total loss of control by the police, they thought they were doing the right thing but we're so naive it was embarrassing. Keeping thousands of Stoke fans away from the ground untill just before kick off..Really can't bring myself to agree with the bin dippers because I remember what they were like back then , storming gates to get in free was a regular ploy week after week you them, but it was not stopped or sorted out. Who should have stopped it at it's infancy ?
Just my point of view

Have to say, think this has been blown out of all proportions, from what I saw a Stewart needs a sacking for being a dick, and that's it. He deserved a twatting, if he did not then he if due one , people on here at times do my head in. How old are people on here. Was at the golden cup from 11.30 onwards and made a mention to the two coppers delboy and crouchy at what a fantastic job they had done. Told them we get treated like shit from other old bill so they get a reaction. These two lads were top notch.just with a mention.

Got me thinking about this last week or so with the release of Harry Roberts, don't know if you would get away with it today but back then the Harry Roberts' song seemed to be sung every week to the coppers on the Boothen.

Brittania of course............ Via an early morning flight from Dubai, leave hotel at daft o'clock, arrive at Birminham airport 11:50 am train back to Stoke, bags dropped off at home then down the Gardeners for a few, last taxi to the ground , piss off everyone in my row by arriving just after kick off ( as usual ), and hopefully enjoy a win for the mighty potters !!!!! Could have stopped an extra day and watched the game here,but you can't beat being at the game live.

Hi bud, have been to Nha Trang a few times, try Krazy Kims, Booze Cruise, or a sports bar on the same side of the road where Booze Cruise is (can't remember it's name but you will see it has got loads of screens). Why not bar also shows football. have fun

One of the reasons I am not going to Brazil. (I would have gone, have now decided to go elsewhere ) don't get me wrong, I love my country, have followed them everywhere, spent way too much money on world cups / European in South Africa / Germany / etc, would have loved to have gone, if Ryan was playing I would be there like a shot for him . The way the england set up is arranged by the London media is shit. Fuck em.

Penkhull on a space hopper............ Not really, did something like that as a kid when I swopped a go-cart for a space hopper and had to bounce up penkhull bloody bank to get home . Walk down to The Gardeners, have some beer then get taxi to ground just before or just after kick off ( apologies to people in my row when I am late ).

He was closer to the halfway line when he scored(crossed it).I was sat in the boothen stand next to "Inchy" Heath.As well as Crooks scoring with his face, I think the ref had to go off injured and a tannoy went up asking if anyone in the crowd was a referee to act as linesman. There were no 4th officials in those days.

anyone remember the "brolly boys"?? didn't last too long from what I can remember, the old bill clicked after a while and banned them. In short, the small black extendable umbrellas had recently come on sale in the shops. Cue a load of paddock lads taking an umbrella as a "fashion accessory" (or potential weapon) to the match......rain or not Also remember an old fella that stood by the dugouts who chain smoked cigars, as one was almost out he started another and have two on the go, never saw him without a cigar on the go. Gods... you aren't Andy are you??? don't think it is as the Andy I know got kicked out after the 1st goal as I recall. Spent most of my time on the Boothen, started the game in the middle by the steps (or on them) block b for the first half, and would often move second half to mates on the right side ,or down by the goal, or top right with other mates. Great days.

Went to watch Ujpest when there a few years ago. Had my Stoke top on, had some puzzling looks (Ujpest play in purple and white stripes) and had some great banter. Check out the steaks on a bap that they serve by the gates to the ground. Also look out for the girls going around the stands selling beer to you in your seat There is a bar not far from the ground that serves dirt cheap beer too. Enjoy Budapest, where are you staying??

shit, you had me worried there, i thought it might be one of those RIP threads about Skeelsy. Got to know him quite well when he ran the Noahs Ark back in the day. Top bloke Eric, played more games for Stoke than any other player in the clubs history i believe.
