    Its a waste of money the way things are going at the moment. If we cant get 27k in againts man City and only 10k against palace, then what chance have we got in getting 30K week in week out? Take into account that year on year we lose 30% of season ticket holders!

    It's a realy positive statment to come from the club during a bad run of results and the current financial climate, maybe, just maybe the writings on the wall for Mr P and it says, "Please collect your P45 on your way out".

    I agree with Smithers. They can't fill the Brit now as they gift away lots of tickets in block 10 to schools etc. to make up the numbers. I don't think they will be filling it anytime soon unless a change in football is made. The only sell outs will be the top 4 games!

    Must be a sign that we are going to start playing proper football.

    to be honest mate they were both cup games of which nobody is really interested as we dont take them seriously. I personally think we would more or less fill the stadium every week as (and I dont mean this nastily) a lot of the people from stoke arent the brightest bunch and are just happy we are in the prem and dont care about performances and entertainment. I honestly dont think that there are too many that feel the same way as a lot of us on here do.

    I dont meant this post insultingly as I myself live in stoke
