    Re: Stoke on Saturday - where to go before

    Last time I went by train was for an F.A. Cup tie there many years ago and we were met on the station platform by the Staffordshire Constabulary handing out Welcome to Stoke leaflets which directed us to a bar at a Students Union place. There were double decker buses then to take us to the ground and back again to the station after the game. Not sure if this will be the case for the League game on Saturday though. Check out Footballgroundguide on the internet for up to date info. Hope this helps.

    Was that at the Victoria Ground? We scored first and ended up losing 2-1. It was seen as something of a glamour tie at the time.

    Saw us get beat 4-1 in the cup in 1968 at the Victoria Ground, went by train, messing about on there and got locked in the guards van on the way up. Thought we were going to miss our stop but the bugger let us out just before Stoke station, taught us a lesson, don’t f*ck about on trains
