Well..what a day.I was back home by 18:30 which is not bad at all.

We went in the Prince George pub before the game, we were there by 1240 so it was pretty quiet, but the manager (irish guy) welcomed the Stokies with open arms and the staff were great too. it soon got packed , but we had no issues at all, except for the fact it felt like being on OZ because they had a roaring log fire on the go & i was sitting 4ft away from it next to the door. Still they kept the door open which cured the problem.

We stopped off at a chippy about 100yrds to the left of the pub on the way to the ground, superb staff & chips.

Once in the ground,and i have to make a special note of this, your stewards were excellent , they knew how to interact with away fans, they were friendly & liked a bit of banter. top marks for that, our lot could learn from them.

I've been to your ground a few times now... and its the first time i've seen a full size Eagle flying about the place, this took us by suprise but was amazing to see, brilliant.

Considering the hoo har on our messageboard regarding the reception we should give TP, i thought it went off lovely. I'm pleased at that.

As for the game...what a let down , i don't know what is up, we said in the pub that , we would settle for a draw, but we were lucky to not get trounced. Thank god for butland, that triple save was good though..No? but why we decided to try delicate passes which led to your goal is beyond me

We were in good but not brilliant voice, your lot in the stand to our right were really quiet, i was right next to them on row 4, we saw your ultras , good on them..but get rid of that bloody DRUM.....Ahhhhhhhhhh

We were outplayed & deserved to lose, fair play to TP for not celebrating & for the round of applause at the end.

In my mind you will stay up, i hope so, i really do. just not at our expense...please no.

I'm about to log on to our site, which i'm sure will be in meltdown mode with people getting over excited and throwing abuse all over the place at each other from the safety of a computer.

If you want entertainment, google Oatcake Fanzine.

At least Butland, our keeper played well

Well done all & we will see you again next year...in the prem of course.

In the words of Vinny Jones...Its been emotional.

Signing off for now, Cheerio & Toodle Ooo

After reviewing the evidence, we were terrible & deserved all we got.

As for our message board,don't worry they do not have a clue, some of them. Kids eh..:/

Good night!

This.
