I am guessing you agree with calling justcol scum as you are berating me twice for taking offence to the scum line and allowing heal to say what he wants. Fair enough you obviously don't like man utd either

I take offence to the word scum, rapists and paedaphiles are scum. Being an arse is common practice, I am often an arse (normally after 3 pints) but am never scum ! An opinion should be balanced and judging someone on their football team well .....

I think we should put this to bed now, my experience is that the word scum is widely used amongst football fans and have heard it said against Leeds fans many times ,it doesn't really upset me that much to be honest.If I've upset any body let me say sorry to everyone and leave the board to helping people who are either in New Zealand or hoping to come like it helped me.

Lets all be mates and start supporting Auckland City FC (or your nearest NZ team)

There's already a Bury fan and a Barnsley fan (me) up for going to the games.

Grass roots NZ football, that's the future.

here here,I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at the mainland league, and the standard of some of the junior teams is brilliant I watched a young player a few weeks ago and he was one of the best 10 year olds I've seen including academy players at pro clubs in the uk, so I'd say the future of New Zealand football is looking very good.

Fair enough. Just a different view point I suppose and to me scum is a horrible word but I guess as a Stoke fan I don't often hear that sort of language

nelsonpom

Be good to see some more footie even if I am used to a slightly more sophisticated level of football than a Bury or Barnsley fan

Only supported Stoke since they reach the Prem then?

nelsonpom

When were they not in the prem ????

Been to the Victoria Ground many times, I think the last time the match was cancelled an hour before kick off. We had a tape on in the car so never heard it'd been called off, got right to the ground.

BTW The Victoria Ground was the place Stoke played before the Brittania was built!

BEVS

Not a good idea is that .

3 folks from the same area ,where everyone, knows someone ,who knows everyone who knows someone.

Give it up. Coz funny enough, I also know the same as.

nelsonpom

Sorry Bevs don't understand any of the above, I really don't !

nelsonpom

Have to say miss the Vic ! Was lovely old ground and to be honest never wanted them to move. But the Brit has been turnes into a fortress and has a fantastic atmosphere. Also much easier to get to and from the ground esp for us glory hunters who don't live in Stoke
