The Oatcake

[splott parker]

Stoke City forum, dear God, it’s quite toxic. Many posters not happy that they equalised. They want a clear out at the top more than us. Always like to have a glimpse at our opponents messageboards after we’ve played them, very often an interesting read.

Re: The Oatcake

If they mean board level they've got it quite good. They have owners who are fans, are stinking rich and willing to plough millions into the club.

And yet, on yesterday's evidence, their team is rubbish, the fans want the manager sacked, and there's a toxic atmosphere at home games. It's a funny old game.

After we beat them 2-1 away in 2020 in a game that Vokes missed a pen, I paid a visit to their forum and to this day it's the most toxic and hate-filled I've ever come across. If you think that Bacuna and Kanga have been the subjects of verbal bashing on here, what they wanted to do to Vokes following that defeat was mostly unprintable.

As we said in another thread fans of their own clubs like to think they have it so much worse than everyone else.

Lots on here genuinely seem to think other clubs fans would be feeling sympathy for how bad our board and owners are.

The rebrand really was exceptional as no other examples anything like that but that was reversed nearly 10 years ago now and in terms of overall running i doubt anyone else gives us a 2nd thought.

Just trying to think who the four or five players we had who were “akin to Sunday morning pub football” are?

Don’t tell Forest Green Bluebird, he’ll get upset.

Re: The Oatcake

I watched the game on a stream with local radio Stoke commentators .
They were negative to the extreme about Stoke ,chuffed that they were getting out of their own half for a change in a game.

We aren't that bad .

We are. The Championship is never great but seems particularly bad this year. No team completely cut away like Rotherham were but many very poor teams.

Any team who can do the absolute basics like warnock instills will be safe mid table.

I know goals aren't caused by good defending but look how bad the recent goals we have given away are. Comical.

We're four points behind Stoke...

Generally doesn’t matter who the owner is, fans just want success. Like with us, protests about Tan into happen when we struggle.

We got promoted in red and protests started when we were going down.

It’s just what it is.

Some of us protested as soon as the rebrand was announced. But not many...

The commentators effectively noted that Stoke were able to have more success playing against us rather than their usual opponents.
