Yes,both sets of fans were terrific in their own ways.Once the "Have you seen a pass chant" started,there was one old boy in the seddon stand going "Cheeky Booogers!" and another one "Bloody cheek!" and one brilliant fans who was outraged haha,he stood up and shouted at our end.."outrageous...
Yes,we certainly felt a change in atmosphere after that one.You could almost touch the tumbleweed drifting across from the Boothen end towards us in the Seddon stand.Funnily enough,I cant recall seeing Albion lose 3-0 and yet have such an enjoyable day!
I should add,all credit to the stoke fans,we never felt threatened or unwelcome.I like the Britannia,and their fans,hope they win the cup.
Apart from the first half performance and result,it was a very enjoyable day out in Stoke.
We were in the Seddon stand with the stokies,and they were getting very pee'd off with the "whats it like to see a pass" chant.So they started cheering every pass from their team,despite the fact they were passing backwards.Albion fans could be heard above the stoke fans even where we were.
True enough.I am sitting in the Stoke end myself because I am attending with a couple of Stoke fans,plus my Wife,and a Derby supporter.We bought tickets in good time(which arrived the following day,I might add) so that we could purchase seats based on the recommendations by the City fans for...
Very much looking forward to it.I will be sitting in with my Wife, a couple of Stoke fans I know up here,and a Derby fan who is supporting us also.
A nice day out,win,lose,or draw,and I personally believe good teams will give a good account of themselves regardless of which competitions theyre in.
I am thinking eighties boring stoke.not nineties,not so boring stoke.I'm sure I have an old "Gulls Eye" where they coined the phrase.To be fair though,we were known as "pushover Brighton" not so long ago.
I think Mr Pullis,has a great deal of respect for Albion,however,he has stumbled a little with his wording perhaps.After all,this is Stoke we are talking about.I can remember the old days when "Boring old stoke" would come to the Goldstone looking for a draw,and generally succeed.
This is...
