The first time I went to Stoke's old Victoria Ground was October 1987. I understand we drew 0-0 but it might have been 5-5 for all I knew. I recall we were housed in what was basically a trench along one side of the pitch, some of which appeared to be below pitch level. It was absolutely the worst view I have ever had at a match.

You'll all be fine. Just bring an extra £2 each.

I was at that - being packed like sardines would have been more spacious.  We took about 6000 to that match.

I was also there and have probably posted before that I saw the ball a grand total of three times.

Stoke at home is safe enough. However, Stoke away can be dangerous if you have Legion in your car  ;)

Even I can't be blamed for your multiple car park mishaps.

I stood alongside Damo. I said stood but the crowd seemed to be in a state of perpetual motion, and the sun was shining directly in our eyes.
