Some nice observations there, like most Stoke fans I really have a lot of time for Everton.
I did not hear of any trouble for this fixture last year just some good banter and a friently atmosphere all round. To be honest their is very little trouble at the ground these days.
Based on the fact that we didn't have one shot on goal or one corner at the weekend, I'm going for a 10 - 0 win to Stoke (all set plays - 7 corners + 3 Delap missiles
)
Hope those coming enjoy the day - let me know if you need any help.
Loads of parking now in and around the ground would probaly recommend Knights BMW - good drink before the game can be had at PowerLeague, Harvester Pub or Hem Heath CC (beind academy dome)
