Any of you boys going down to the game then? having only got 800 or so loyalty points and needed 2,000 to have first dips on the tickets i didnt expect to get one. Spotted it on the club website that we had 700 or so left and going on sale this morning to season ticket holders and NO loyalty points needed i was surprised we had some left. Shot down in the car expecting to have to line up outside but walked straight in and grabbed 2 tickets Maybe its not going to be as difficult to get hold of tickets as i imagined.
I was thinking about going, but from what I have read/heard it isn't exactly the best away trip. I think I shall save my money for other home games. I was seriously tempted though. I hope you have a good time! Feel free to bring back some pics Getting tickets for Chelski will be a nightmare.
Been to Stoke away plenty of times down the years and always enjoyed it. Well apart from when they've turned us over
i am going down think it should be a goof game, not to sure on the result aat the moment but i am confident think it will be 2-1 to the burnley what is the line up going to be?
I'll be there, I love going Stoke as we always seem to get something from there, can't wait I’m so excited! I'm even more excited about our first Premier League home game a few days after against Man U, what a week to look forward to, i don't even care if we lose both games (well kinda )
Ill be there, less than 2000 Loyalty Points, but being a Foundation Member saved me (also got Chelsea tickets) Looks like though there is just one Hobson's Choice of a pub for away fans. The less than impressive Harvester pub near to ground unless anybody has any tips for summat better?

Well its been saying Caldwell could be missing with a groin problem picked up in last nights game for Scotland If he does miss i think we'll be going Jensen Easton. Edgar Carlisle Mears Elliott McDonald/ Alexander McCann Eagles Fletcher Paterson.
Edgar could be suspended after being red carded for Newcastle in their final game last season. Coyle could be contesting it! Maybe we need to bring in and buy Andre Bikey from Reading after all!
Oh yes he will be forgot about that.Bikey is banned too so he'd miss even if we signed him today. Leaves us a bit short in the middle. Duff is injured. Think it will have to be Jordan then.
Easton is a left back and has missed out starting most pre-season games. Think he will be on bench more often than not. Right back could be between Mears and Eckersley, although former has been injured. I forgot about Duff who might be close to a return and slot in the centre with Carlisle?
----------------Jensen---------------- Eckersley Carlisle Duff/Jordan Kalvenes --------------Alexander-------------- --------McCann------Elliott -------- Blake------------------------------Eagles ----------------Fletcher---------------- That's what I'd go for but I think Coyle wants to go 4-4-2 and form a partnership with Flether and Patto so from my team drop Blake to the bench and add Patto up front and change it to 4-4-2.
I hope we see Guerrero at some point, he looks an exciting prospect but we need to see him play against Prem opposition! Hopefully he will come on some time in second half from the bench if not earlier!
Opps my bad, sorry McDonald back to the bench for you, edited. ps wish we could use 12 players it might even things up a bit.
