Does this one usually go down to general sale? With it being the end of the season i'm guessing it wont

On the whole though the Britannia Stadium, is not a great day out, as there are very few pubs close to the stadium and even fewer away friendly ones. It is also worth bearing mind though that the Stoke fans are passionate about their club and this can make for an intimidating atmosphere, so it is best to keep colours covered around the ground. Don't be surprised if you are kept in after the game, in a fenced off compound to the rear of the away stand. It is not an uncommon sight for a number of Stoke fans to congregate, generally trying to bait the away supporters, until the Police move them on.

Also wonder what the chances of this game getting moved for TV? Or is all that done and dusted now?

The only thing to keep an eye out for is the teenage louts on the bridge on the way out of stoke. Last year they gave our coach some offensive gestures and it was very frightening . If we win though don't expect it- it's not like stoke have a small club mentality and childishly abuse anyone

Thankfully they didn't keep us back last time, the sooner you can get out of that shithole the better

About as intimidating as a trip to Asda...

[mattyj3nks]

Is there anywhere to actually drink before the game as an away fan or is it worth just heading straight to the ground and drinking in there?

What time would you think they would open the away end?

[highburyJD]

it's a proper shithole
in - and - out, beers in the car job

I'm only going because the Shittania is the only current Prem stadium I haven't seen us win at
(+ nobody has seen us win at the Liberty)

tickets go on sale on the 29th. £35 first on sale to members with 15 credits.

Fuck em, will find a pub somewhere!

[Dan_85]

We've drunk in The Harvester outside the ground the last few times. Not great, but better than nothing...

To be fair, those middle-aged women tapping their arses in the middle of the shopping isles in recognition of how much money they've saved can be a fearful sight to the uninitiated!!

[arsenalmorris]

been to this last 2 seasons and not been held back,

there is 1 pub near by the ground, think it is a harvester that sells food and is usually rammed cos its the only pub near by,

Yep its about the only place really. All in all Stoke + britannia + Harvester makes for a really shite day out.
