I thought Victor Anichebe was the next Bob Latchford, what do I know?

Evening one and all
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my trespassing on your territory.
It was obviously a bit of a stupid/ brave risk venturing on here asking about your perceptions of all things Stoke City.
I’ve seen the whole range of tones/ comments haven’t I?!
Nothing has really surprised me in terms of positives or negatives. Given the Pulis years/ our recent political trends/ the caper of a section of our support over the years... I knew what was coming. We are divisive club in the sense that folk seem either charmed by us (plenty of begrudgingly respect) or else we are downright despised! Believe me, we are as divided in house – getting our fanbase to reach a consensus on anything from Brexit to Pulis is impossible. There are plenty of lefty football purists who buy our mag at least!
As with any city/ club though, there’s more to it than meets the eye: generalisations were always going to crop up. That's the nature of what we do isn't it?
I also expected a lot of love for our old ground compared to our new place. What I would give to go back and stand once more on that old Boothen End terrace at The Victoria Ground.
What was heartwarming was the depth of knowledge and rich memories that football fans hold onto. I love the obscure links we have between our cities/ towns/ clubs through mates/ family/ jobs etc.
I sent out these 5 questions to fans of over 20 clubs. So far, it seems that fans of Wolves/ Everton/ Sunderland/ Liverpool/ West Ham/ PNE/ Oldham and Man City have responded in enough detail to warrant an individual article in the fanzine. I didn’t bother with Crewe, Vale or Arsenal for obvious reasons. One foaming Gooner did hijack the Liverpool to forum to have a pop though – him doing that made me feel like less of a sad b****** for what I was doing on there!
Whenever matchdays return to our lives, I will get cracking on some of these, publish them and then post them onto the respective forums.
I will have one more check in a few days in case any late contributions have surfaced. Cheers to moderators for allowing this as well.
Whether you were dismissive/ funny/ bitter/ knowledgeable/ brutal or complimentary – thanks very much for your time. Some wonderful stories emerged out of this – it made me realise how much we all have in common (every club seems to have a similar cross-section of folk).
Best wishes

I do know a Doris in New Zealand who is a big Stoke City fan. She was born and raised in those parts.
She only sings when you're winning! And she has a sister with decent norks. I like her sister better.
Edit.
And good luck with your article.

I'll wait for question 2. if that's ok
I'm surrounded by a lot of Stoke fans, being an immigrant in Cheshire, and they're a bit meh. Reckon they don't really miss the prem that much. The ground is baltic and soulless. They do good stuff for the community though.
