v Stoke City (a) - 25/11/2023


Recommended Posts

So after an international break and a couple of tough fixtures for England against Treasure Island and The Lost City Of Atlantis, it's back to business and some real football.

A weakened Rovers side had their pants pulled down prior to the break. Hopefully some key players can return from injury and lead us to glory.

Stoke 0-3 Rovers

It's Stoke and its post International break, expecting a right dire affair to be honest.

1 nil either way or a 1-1 draw. It'll piss down and there'll be a swirling wind. That's what usually happens at Stoke from past experience.

Stoke - A place you drive past on the M6 and would only ever enter to visit for a football match.

Tough venue and it'll be a tough game as always, could go either way but as usual we need to notch first in order to get anything.

Stoke  0     Rovers   0

I have pick Ennis over Leonard or Sigurdsson cos I want more of focus point up front and Ennis has shown he can hold the ball up

Having a canal narrowboat I've spent plenty of time in and around Stoke over the years - indeed the Caldon Canal which starts in Etruria is my favourite.

In particular I commend the wonderful (and wonderfully named) Holy Inadequate pub just off the A500 in Etruria. A marvellous selection of ales and craft beers and a great atmosphere.

Can't say i'm familiar with either wasn't Northern Soul a pie eater thing ?

Northern soul was a massive movement. Wigan Casino was just one venue. As a comparison, you might say football was just about the premier league.

This is probably the most novel way of providing per match drinks and food particularly given the dearth of pubs around the ground. I have passed it several times in match days and it is busy and seems welcoming. If you park on Campbell Road it's a 10-15 minute walk and then 5 minutes to the ground.

Bod in the train station is always good for ale, tap room of the Titanic Brewery.

There is also a designated away fans pub a few minutes walk from the train station from where they run buses to the ground. I used the bus service a few seasons back and it was pretty much full of lairy, boozed up (or whatever) adolescents giving it the big 'un. I had my granddaughter with me but the saving grace was that several police rode on the bus with us.
