The view from Stoke

Sounds like a classic Wilder score 2 goals and stop job?

We really don't like beating teams well.

Regarding the minutes silence - on this, of all occasions, could the club not have done more to make sure the away fans were quiet at 14:59? Did they do everything in their power? What kind of stewards were employed in the away end - I can guess?

Mind you, apparently a good number of our fans couldn't even be arsed to get in early enough for the tributes.

We don't need stewards to tell people to respect a minutes silence. Its a bit disappointing if they don't, but that is their choice.
 
The noise was from the away end concourse, wasn't it? Through ignorance rather than disrespect, surely.

What I mean is that special measures should have been taken to ensure as much silence in there as possible from around 2 minutes until kick off. Signs on the turnstiles, effective stewarding, etc. This is what I would have done anyway, on an occasion like this.

It was from the hundreds outside waiting to get in, me included. Singing Starman as we didn't know the silence was in progress.

Started queuing 25 minutes before the start. Every other person entering through the turnstiles seemed to have a problem getting in. Never a problem previously with tickets and cards, the phones are the problem.
 
“Sadly, Sheffield Utd are better than us in every department (except maybe GK)."

Erm, I don't want to depress them any more than they obviously are but there's not a cat in hell's chance of that.

We couldn’t get a reception in the Albion beer garden ( not usually a problem) or on the way to the ground, exactly the reason I insisted on still having a card and guess what it works every time 🤷‍♂️

My guess is they'll have lost more income than they've saved by not printing tickets unless specifically requested. Some casual fans of a certain ilk will just think feck it.
 
The noise during the silence appeared to come from the away concourse or from outside.
However, someone seemed to know what was going on as, just before the end of the silence, a strangulated cry was heard: “Shut up you f*****g prick”.
It seemed to work.
