Stewards have just said the club have predicted 16,000 fans here today and allocated stewards accordingly. Oh and that's with just 1000 away supporters.
Must be a typo - one zero too many. I'm one of the thousands of ST holders who will be absent today. Not worth the hassle and petrol expense to make the 100 mile round trip.
I will be absent today as I completely forgot that this was a 1230 kick off, and it was only when I saw the lineup announced I remembered. Not going to travel to watch the second half only
Will be how where the North Stand netting was the other night you'd think Stoke we bringing around 3-4000. Instead their barely a thousand following were given such a big space they could have spread out over a few seats.
I presume that was based on Stoke's initial ticket sales. Bear in mind the fixture was initially due to be played on boxing day when teams generally take bigger away followings.
