They really dont give a shit about supporters do they

No public transport for the locals and those that drive their it has to be a "dry" day

I really cannot stand modern football

We don't always get 'shit teams' on a boxing day as some claim.

It was only what 2 or maybe 3 seasons back we had that fabulous last minute Kat Knight screamer (?!?) in front of the Holte end to equalise against the Arse.....

Happy days - I still believed back then!!

On a night when getting to the game from Stourbridge by public transport was all but impossible.

If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Stoke might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

I think the Stoke ground has a superb atmosphere. What would be an ideal away game and kick off time for Boxing Day then?

You really want to be inside the Stoke ground at night in the middle of Winter don't you?  That will be nice and cosy.

When we played them in August about 3 years ago it was cold. The following season, about March, it was absolutely freezing. The ground's on top of a big hill with big open corners for the wind to blow in.

Any kick off at 8pm on Boxing Day is just taking the piss.
