blast from the past

This is how a football club chairman should talk. All the better that it’s my club.

There are plans for a wind break to be erected between the Boothen End and the main stand this summer to protect the pitch from the chilling wind, but Coates does not want it to take the edge of their boisterous support.

"I don't want our supporters going soft. If it's cold, you should just put a coat on. I never get cold at the ground."

Quite bloody right, too. None of this world class multi-use leisure facilities to enhance customer experience bollocks. Now if he’d only tear up some of those damn seats. Come to think of it, he should knock down that poncy stadium and rebuild the Victoria Ground. And let’s dig up Sir Stanley while we’re at it. He’s still probably got better ball control than most, even if he was cremated twenty years ago. Aye. I’ll have a pie with that, ta.

Anyway, it looks like we just might beat the drop this season. And, fingers crossed, help send Newcastle down this Saturday.

Tsk. And them with the best supporters in the world and all.

Bugger.

If that saves their season, Stoke will live in infamy for evermore.
