The Britannia move put Stoke back 10 years? 10 seasons after they moved they got promoted to the Premiership. Presumably Lou would have had them in the Champions League by now if they'd stayed at the Vic?

No he thought they could have been top flight 10 years ago.

Reasons not to leave the CG:
It feels like home;
I know where it is;
When giving directions to travelling away fans, the look on their face when you say "if you come to a roundabout made up of five mini roundabouts all working in conjunction, you've made it" is priceless;
If you know where to go, you can park for free, legally, 5 mins from the ground, stay until the end and not get stuck in traffic on the way out;
Away fans getting soaked on the Stratton Bank is, lets face it, one of the funniest things in football;
It's called the County Ground. This is a proper name. I do not want to play at the Honda Bowl, the WH Smiths arena, or the Anchor Butter ground. This would bring shame upon me.

The Anchor Butter Bowl might work though?

I'm not aware of any football grounds using the word Dish to summise their status though.

I just know any new ground built in a field 5 miles from the centre of town will be a bitter disappointment. We'd have to call it the 'I Can't Believe it's Not Better' Stadium.
I have my coat.

We could only fill a stadium like that if we signed players like Nicola Bertolli.
But we'd probably still end up getting creamed every week.
