It is interesting though isn't it how we all had a bit of 'pain' punishment and here we are today all grounded, respectful and all round good citizens off the back of it. Kids of today have zero respect for adults or anybody for that matter because there is no deterrent and they know this. Give...

There you go, its not all grim up North :) My late Grandmother used to live in Alsager. Very rural sleepy northern England.

Ignore all that mate, it's nothing new is it? The majority of Stoke fans, or at least the educated ones, have a lot of respect for BHA and the journey you have been on as we were very close to a similar fate many years ago.

Probably nastier these days than it ever has been, even though we are leagues apart. This all came about around the 1990's really when Vale had their 15 minutes of fame and were above us for a period. They were on a roll and we were in our darkest days. The hatred and vitriol they showed towards...

I know exactly where you are, used to use that place as a youngster. I can't disagree that Fenton is a bit depressing and Stoke, as a whole, is not exactly Beverley Hills but there are plenty of really nice places if you go looking, Trentham being a good example. It is like anywhere really, good...

Stoke fan here We are very worried currently, we seem to be on a very negative trajectory currently and its all a bit doom and gloom. We undoubtedly have the quality in Shaquiri, Imbula, Arnautovic, Joe Allen and a few others but Mark Hughes just can't seem to get the best out of them. On our...

Obviously Vale are our natural rivals and always plenty of stick & abuse for them. The Naughty Forty== They were, back in the day, probably 300 plus strong so could look after themselves against anybody. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, they are all 50/60 year old...

Pure coincidence mate. I used to drink in a bar called Joe Bananas in Hong Kong when I lived there. I think when I signed up for North Stand Chat I had just got in from there and whilst scratching my head for a username it was the best I could come up with at that very moment. Thanks to...

So it is a lot older than 79/80 then? Didn't know that.

No Mate sorry, work up in Town, live in Worthing.

Ahhhh ok cheers mate! Chinese whispers and all that over the years, the story gets distorted I guess as I definitely heard something about spitting, or maybe that was just a conversation I was having with the wife last night and absolutely nothing to do with this!!!! :albion2:

Stoke City fan here in peace. Firstly a massive congrats on your promotion. Gutted you didn't get the Title, the intolerable success starved Geordies will dine out on that for years!!! I live down here so follow the Seagulls as a second team and attend the odd game. Always a good day out. Just...

Well I speak for myself and I was impressed and I think the general concensus is positive. That guy seems to have a bit of a chip sadly living in the area and obviously surrounded by Brighton fans who are clearly giving him a hard time.

No mate sorry
