Yep, really good write-up, thanks.

Picking hairs, one slight correction re Peter Coates' involvement with Signal Radio (as it was called at launch). Having joined the pre-launch team there in summer 1983 (moving from Radio West), I would say that's wrong to call Peter the 'founder'. He may well have been one of the many shareholders and even a non-exec director, but he was not chairman in the first few years. He only took up that role some time later. So, I don't think it can be said that he 'founded' the station. He's certainly done a lot of good for Stoke as a place, though, over the years.

Thank you BR I stand corrected

Stoke still give their fans free coach travel so I think they will bring a few.

Have popped in the cider press glos rd for some breakfast on the way to football…..told by the barman that 50 Stoke fans are due any minute. Coach just turned up, 50 knuckle-draggers have now swamped the place……will neck the brekki before I get a rendition of dalilah!

If they start necking the cider before midday, there could well be no toilet block for  our Welsh friends to destroy on the 8th.

When players are benched do we always have to suggest it’s the “naughty step”?

Cardiff now under transfer embargo. Merry Xmas

'cos they won't honour the transfer fee for Sala, despite losing their case and then losing their appeal too.

Is that due to the Sala CAS decision?

[Son of Fred]

Against the Physicality of Stoke Nigel droppes the physicality/aggression of Tanner??.....

Going against his own mantra.

Play well & you keep the shirt?

Think the bench is the bench. The naughty step is somewhere else….

Is it anywhere near the spanking stool 

[redkev]

Atkinson does seem a bit f a sick note for a big strapping lad 

they don’t make em like they use to .

As for the physicality of stoke are they still that sort of side .

I expect a lot of shithousery with Alex Neil in charge .

[Garland-sweden]

2-0 City COYR!!!

[robin_unreliant]

Gotta weather-related question for you experts. Does AG now have undersoil heating?

I seem to recall it wasn't initially ready when the redeveloped ground was fully opened but was intended to happen later. Not sure I can remember it being confirmed that it is now working though.
