Re: Unbelievable!!!!!
One thing I thought was strange yesterday was the huge gap between their main stand and the touchline on that side. I go to watch Gateshead a fair bit and I reckon the Stoke fans in that main stand are about the same distance away from the action as we are at the Heed and we have to watch across a running track. I think it is safe to assume that the stadium was not designed that way, so what has changed in the meantime??
If your team needs to change the dimensions of the pitch to suit your 'style' of play then you hardly hold the moral high ground in my opinion.
We walked back into town along the canal tow path and at one point I overheard two Stoke fans discussing the game and one of them said. 'The game should not have been played as you cannot play football on that pitch'. I pointed out to him that this would have made no difference whatsoever to Stoke and he did not seem too pleased.
