I am doing both, provided Pox tickets make general sale or a nice ST holder can sort me out!

Hi everyone, I'm from a Stoke forum (name in my username).
Looking forward to this game, really feel that if we're going to win a trophy in the next few years it'll be this. We always seem to struggle against sides we should beat (except Brighton, they were terrible), so you've definitely got a good chance.
I think we (Stoke) will win, got a few signings coming in (Ness, Cameron, Huddlestone, possibly Edu) so should have enough depth to give us a chance of a win in both the Arsenal game and this one.
2-0 Stoke is my prediction.

So do you think you will take it seriously, or chuck out youth/fringe players. Even the latter will be tricky for us away from home, but I'd give us a half chance if you do. |

It'll be a mix. I'd be surprised to see Crouch play, Sorensen will play in goal (always does in the cups), Shotton will probably play, couple of the new signings will play and possibly Pennant. It won't be the side we played against Reading or the side we'll play against Arsenal. But this season we have a lot more depth than last, less 'fringe' players. We've got a squad where the majority are definitely capable of being in the first team. |

Having read the Stoke forums they seem to think it will be a mostly reserve side playing against us, most of the opinion of.....
Sorensen
Shotton Upson Cameron Wilson
Pennant Delap Ness Etherington
Jerome/Walters Jones/Crouch
With the possibility of Huddlestone and Dawson making their debuts if they are signed in time on loan from Spurs.
TBH thats a pretty good side for a reserve side!
Should be a good game, don't know how seriously Stoke will take it and there could well be a chance of a surprise.

I'm going up and can offer lifts but not coming back as stopping over.
Can I ask where you are staying? Considering doing the same. |

Surely any opportunity to get out of the Armpit of England (I come from Broadstairs) should be taken? The fact that its a good reason to go really is a no brainer  Going by AA Route planner (based on Rochester to Stoke), its 194 miles and 3 hours 30 mins, gives you an hour to allow for inevitable traffic |
