Sorry mate I absolutely can't stand your club. Horrible away day, police escort, crap beer, horrible players, freezing cold stadium and generally pretty nasty fans
Xxx
No point in getting suicidal over it, is there? We've known for months it was coming and a bit of gallows humour goes a long way to making you feel better
I've repeatedly heard Stoke is an awful away day, but I am sure that is if you go by any 'official' means. If you make your own way up, avoid the escort etc, and go out in town you'll actually find some great pubs and the night life really isn't too bad. It's comparable with many other big cities. Just avoid Hanley if you can. The beer is indeed dreadful. Totally agree. Carlsberg is shite, although I can stomach the occasional pint of Peddy. Stadium has been a bit warmer this year, we filled in the corner (a bit short-sighted in hindsight). We don't have horrible players anymore, that's part of the problem lol.
The fans? Hmm, well, like most clubs we have a section of idiots. We also have a section amongst those idiots who are total
'next level' idiots and actually follow through on their bullshit, like the guy who lobbed a bottle into the side of that pub outside the Emirates a few weeks back. Totally nonsensical and I hope he was caught on CCTV and identified. That said, the majority of those lot are guys who wear Matalan jackets with fake Stone Island badges on and think the Norty Forty still exist. They ain't big, they ain't hard, and most of them would get utterly pelted if confronted by some proper hard fans..... ironically, with clubs like Leeds, Milwall, Sheffield Wednesday, I can see that happening next year. Could be interesting entertainment on away days.....
