Offside Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 55 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Pretty sure the game when Tins scored from long range ended up 1-1 (our goal was a very late equaliser) & was also played at The Brittania, the only time I’ve been. Yes, it must have been the Bitannia because I was at that game and never visited the Victoria Ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm quite pleased they've been relegated. I often hold grudges against teams and haven't liked them since they beat us at Wembley in 2000. There was also that horrible game when they beat us at their ground near the end of the GJ play off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club are where they deserve to be, whether that’s because of crap/excellent ownership or being very unlucky/lucky. Like when I hear “Leeds should be a Premiership club”. What a load of bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 31 minutes ago, Wanderingred said: I wouldn't say that. They reached an FA Cup final and played in Europe as well as a few top half finishes. Pretty much the glass ceiling for a club like Stoke these days. Pretty much the limit of most clubs these days as the 'big 4 or 5' have resources beyond the rest. (I am ignoring the Leicester title win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ever get up then I'd happily take that sort of record. Never looked like getting relegated before this season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at half time we were down and out, both on and off the field when, all of a sudden, some of the city in the stand started ten men went to burn. by the time the teams came back on our away end was bouncing around like we'd already won. great night!
