  • Must do for football and Stoke fans

    Love the podcast. Wasn’t the local band called “Grace” that recorded Delilah in 96? As others have said love the John Coates episode and getting to know the players. Love to hear some episodes with some staff too, Kitmen, Simon King, Richard Smith, famous Stoke fans (A-Ha, Adrian Lewis, Nick Hancock) and maybe some of the overseas supporters clubs?

    It would be great to see a live recording in ricardos/boothen quarter and/or pre season!

  • A must for all stoke fans

    Whether it’s current players or staff or someone from the glory days, this is always a great listen. I really liked the Liam Lawrence one particularly, it took me back to the promotion and the early days in the Premier League.

    If we can have one with Walters or Crouch, that would be great. Keep up the good work. We’ll be with you.
