Think it's time for a thread devoted to the Midland's best side as the bet365 money slowly propels us up the Premier League. There are several Stokies on blonde and a few lurkers i know who read but don't post so hopefully we can get a few more involved. Seems a perfect time to start the thread after taking care of the Oil boys at the weekend on their own patch.
We were bottom of the summer spend table yet i think we still have a very solid side for this season with little investment made this summer. Biggest coups of the summer were holding onto our back 4 and keeper when so many teams were supposedly looking for centre halfs.

Stoke's best player?
Your favourite Stoke player?
Charlie Adam is a Dundee lad so I always like to see him do well, thoughts on him?

Stoke's best player? Keeper - Best bit of business in the summer for stoke was not losing him
Your favourite Stoke player? Crouch - His wonder goal against Man City was just unreal for a guy with his build.
Charlie Adam is a Dundee lad so I always like to see him do well, thoughts on him? Slow, over weight, dirty, lazy but very talented.

The only thing I know about Stoke City is that the Victoria Ground was the scariest one to visit as an away fan. As they are my pick in the sweepstake Tighty organised I wish then a successful season

Excellent idea for a thread, & I'm sure both Stoke City fans will enjoy it.

As they are my pick in the sweepstake Tighty organised I wish then a successful season Mixed views of visiting Stoke Victoria ground on the lower tier away end being pelted with coins before a play off semi second leg. penting intensified when garry parker won it for us.... at the hideous, soulless and bleak Britannia stadium where it is windy even on a still day having to tolerate stoke fans invading the pitch and rubbing our noses in it in their promotion season having sent us to league one that day. Many a Leicester fan has doing something pleasant like an upset victory there bookmarked in a corner of our minds ever since We go there for the first time in the league since in 11 days.

Did you go during the Victoria Ground days Arb boy? How do you find the new stadium compared to that in terms of comfort/atmosphere etc?

I only went there once during the mid 1990's with a uni mate. It was a pretty brutal atmosphere in those days compared to the brit which as tighty says is too corporate and bland.

I quite like whiling away coffee breaks looking in on these club threads to be honest. The Championship thread used to be great, but it's not so active now that Chompy's lot lost their membership

Of course, anyone can start threads. You'll need to "work it" if you want it to be successful, but you'll get plenty of help from others if you set it up nicely.

When did you start following them? Did you have another team you followed before becoming a Stokie? I'm pretty sure Stoke's Finest are Port Vale anyway

I'm pretty sure Stoke's Finest are Port Vale anyway I followed Leicester as a kid as i grew up 20 miles from there and Lineker was my hero as a kid. Went to loads of their games in the dark ages of the mid/late 1980's and loads of Forest games with a mate from school who's dad was a season ticket holder so every other week i either went to a leics game or a forest game for 3/4 years (i know that sounds crazy as they are rivals but when you are 11 you just want to go to a game every saturday). Stopped watching football live all together around 1989/90 season with school exams/sports etc taking up weekends. Moved to Staffs in 2001 to work for bet365 and virtually all my mates are stoke season ticket holders and/or fans and have pretty much followed them since then tbh.
