This ditty was sang what felt like a thousand times in the Sandy last night. It was so fooking boring. Like the Stoke fans gave a shite that there was surplus pies in their stand, they won ffs.
It was sang which such enthusiasm. As though people genuinely thought it was really getting to the Stoke fans.
We can come across as a right bunch of fooking backwards sometimes.
Make the point but don't fooking labour it. [Post edited 27 Jan 2015 12:57]

Home fans having fun amongst themselves whilst playing a Premiership team in the 4th round of the FA Cup. How dare we! | | | |

Stoke fans were giving it about our "shit ground" etc, so we gave it back, and it was one of many chants sung on the night who cares if it was a couple of times, bit of banter lighten up for god sake | | | |

I thought their fans were a bit 'plasticky', you know ... a bit fair weather.
I'm struggling to think of another premier league team who wouldn't have filled the away end (i.e. brought another 1,500 fans). Maybe Crystal Palace or QPR?
I believe that their club pays for their fans to travel to away matches so maybe because they didn't have their @rses wiped for them on this occasion it was maybe a bit too much to travel 60 miles up the road for an 8 o'clock kick off.
Fair play to the ones who did turn up. Nice friendly bunch, a bit scruffy and they got behind their team but they've been outnumbered by Forest, Bradford, Preston & Oldham as far as travelling supporters go so far this season. |  | | |

I preferred the stick they gave Robbie Savage which he responded to during the BT commentary..."Robbie Savage ..he looks like a girl " | | | |

To clarify.
No Trains back to Stoke on a Monday night. Free travel is for league games only. Most away sides at the Brit haven't sold out their away allocation this season.
Had the game not been moved to the Monday night we 100% would have sold out. | | | |

I really don't get this obsession with the Willbutts not being sold out. I mean, who the hell are we to make an issue out of it?
When they were coasting at 0-3 and starting to get a bit giddy the response from the Pearl St was "is that all you take away" - talk about clutching at straws
2000+ was by ANY reckoning a decent turnout on a Monday night in January with the game on tv. The players performed and left the pitch with their heads held high; the best we could do is maintain some sense of dignity and stfu about their away following |  |

For an established premier league outfit 60 miles down the road? 2k is absolute pish.
I think Stoke City are in danger of becoming everything that they hate about modern day top flight football.
Shame, as the fans that did turn up were a credit. Point taken about the lack of public transport but Rochdale isn't a train friendly town by any stretch of the imagination.
Maybe consideration could be given to turn over the Pearl Street stand to visiting fans when the demand for home tickets exceeds what can be supplied. [Post edited 27 Jan 2015 15:17]

They sang this song when they played Arsenal, just after Wenger described them as playing like a rugby team in the Pulis days. Seems they have adopted it as one of their own. |  | | |

To be fair a lot of their players would be great in a line out. |  |

Do you not think you're being a bit of an inverse snob here? I don't think your average Stoke fan gives two shites about what a Dale fan thinks they're apparently turning into in all honesty. We're very holier than though aren't we and then bemoan the little/real club tag.

Public transport aside, what about people like my mate who works in Derby and couldn't get to the ground in time or couldn't get it off work? Despite the fact that we're an established premier league club Stoke-on-Trent is still a poor area, people can't just have days off work for a football game that's on the TV. We have just over 20,000 season ticket holders and 10% of them went to the game last night which is a good effort. | | | |

Worst song of the night was sung by some fans at the top of the TDS.
When Bojan was down injured they took glee in singing "Out for the season, he's out for the season"
Classy. |  |

Inverse snob? Yeah probably Big Dave.
It's not difficult to organise a minibus or coach if the club isn't doing it for you and with the fanbase they have they should be taking more away even if it is on BT sport. But, that's their 'problem'. It'll be interesting to see what they take to Blackburn. The ones that made the short hop yesterday were decent and not at all as mongy as the port vile fans.
I'm sure the average Stokey couldn't give two hoots to what I think as they have a chairman with genuine enthusiasm and deep pockets but we see it at our level also.
Notts Cheaty doing what they do best, Oldham taking their fans for mugs, Bradford mortgaging the farm on the hope of a good cup run, Peterborough's chairman laying into the team, Doncaster doing a crowdfunder, MK Franchise setting up in the football hotbed that is Milton Keynes.
In the last 25 years about 50 clubs have gone into administration. I would hate our board if they let us do a Stockport or a Halifax and if that means we have the strap line of 'iccle Rochdale then so be it. Would I complain if an investor came along with a big bag of money to give to Keith to spend how he saw fit? Hilly would probably buy some new pants and a dedicated training facility!
I think it's just a case of being careful of what you wish for.
Can somebody let Chalky know that we've lost our unbeaten so far this year moniker. [Post edited 27 Jan 2015 16:32]

Shall we just concentrate on ourselves? It's all relative really isn't it? I'm sure Stoke bemoan the 'false' riches of Man City and United. To balance it out a bit we're currently the highest we've been in our history and, like you say, we're run properly. However, despite this, our attendances are, let's face it, diabolical. Can we really criticize other clubs when it comes to attendance? [Post edited 27 Jan 2015 16:46]

I believe it was some witty bants take on their "he's ours for the season" chant. I'm sure said people didn't REALLY want or even believe he'd be seriously injured. You never know though, they could all be evil and usually spend their Monday nights beating up old people. Thank Christ they were at the back of the stand, had they been near the front they could have steamed onto the pitch and bitten his leg off. |  | | |
