Stoke allocation increased

[PeterWithesShin]

Cheers Chelts. Possibly a dumb question (nothing new there!) but how does it work using someone else's reference? Can I use it to buy a ticket at the club shop in town as i'm waiting for a new debit card so can't buy online until it arrives. And would the ticket be sent to Chelts or me? Ta muchly.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Reckon there'll be tickets left for people like me who have a ST, but haven't gone to any away games this season?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Wrap up warm, it's freezing there. Try to avoid Stoke as well, as it's dreadful.

[HOLTENDER]

Must admit i'm tempted to try and go to this. Not been away for donkeys years but always figure the shitter we are the more they need me. Only downside is hardly any of my old lot even go to homes let alone aways and can't help thinking it's a bit crap going to an away as Billy NoMates.

You are welcome to come along with the North Walsall Lions. A friendlier bunch you could not wish to meet. Just put your £20 in the kitty for the pre match drinks and "Bobs your uncle"

I do that every away game......but always feel at home with the traveling Villa army

I was at the last ever game played at the Victoria Ground. Stoke, unsurprisingly, beat the Albion 2-0.

The last game I can recall watching while clinging to a fence at the front. They still haven't sold the land. I always have a look if I'm on the A500.

If you go round the other side, there are the remains of the steps that led into the Boothen End also the brick culvert vents that stood in the car park where it all used to kick off.

Thanks for the info. Thought I wouldn't be able to get to this, but now I'm freed up and ready for a cracking feast of footballing fayre.

0-0

It's probably one of the coldest grounds i've ever been to.

Yep, it was nippy in August for their first game in the PL, despite the sun shining.

I don't believe we've won at the Britannia yet? We will this time. Pleased about the allocation. Got my ticket and looking forward to it.

No, lost the first time due to a long throw hitting Pericard on the back of the head and going in. Drew the second in a snore-draw, where Fuller had the only decent effort of the game and lost the third to a scrambled freekick which Pennant had done a ridiculous dive to win. Is that all of the games, or was there one more?

We also drew there in a traditional nil-nil Christmas cracker.

For those that are going to Stoke, a couple of tips. Firstly, don't forget your cameras. You'll be wanting to take lots of pics! Secondly, try to get to the main glamour spots early in the morning  before all the tourists arrive so you can properly enjoy the city's untamed beauty.

There are some good pubs in the Stoke area, not necessarily near the ground but they are there. Some hidden gems for beer drinkers.

[SoccerHQ]

Tbh I'd just advise anyone who wants a drink or three just to have them in Stone or Stafford which have some good boozers. Then catch the train or the 101 bus which dosen't stop far away from the Brit.

Or drink in Newcastle under Lyme which is generally calmer and less hassle than Hanley.

Stoke are just the modern day equivilant of Leicester to us aren't they? Our record against them was shocking even when we were good.

Gives you hope that this season will be the one where we score five in fifteen minutes like we did away at Leicester to break the hoodoo.
