Johnnyrotten Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hoping this will be my first away of the season if I can get tickets, but away capacity is less than it used to be. We'll be in the Bycars End, the Hamil Road now occupied by Vale fans. Not sure what capacity of Bycars is but less than Hamil Rd so not likely to be enough to satisfy demand. £25 in home end for this game so presume same for us.

I can just hear them saying "Bycars" in that puddled Staffordshire accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, nearly as annoying as the Dau-beh accent. There's a commentator on MOTD with a Potteries accent, seems to make up words, "first" is "faced" or something, very odd and distracting to listen to.

They did an official "that's the last time we'll be in the Bycars" write up at end of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Seems like a big thing to me to have your stand swapped round. I think their main lot go in that one down the side but there will be people who've sat behind that goal for donkeys years with a routine, now its taken away.

gonzo Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Its a horrible ground innit. Like not one good feature about it. Looks absolutely awful on the telly. Non match going folk wouldn't have any idea what a moody gaff it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Last time we played them did nt they shout every pub within a mile or so of the ground and run buses from the pub by the station ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is horrible, a dog to get to and from, that half finished stand where the dugouts are is shit, the concourse a disgrace, grim as owt outside... even the word Burslem is rough 😂 36 minutes ago, radcliffe white said: You booking taxis for after game😀 we gave up went back to that pub through the park Just looked it up, the Moorland it's called. Was alright in that massive beer garden apart from the colonel going topless. Wonder if it's still practical to get to or if there's somewhere else closer to that opposite side of the ground. Think them taxis are still just turning around the corner to get to the stadium now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Ten miles !!!

mattbwfc19 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 not been since 2017 and we drove then. If getting the train, is it best to go to Stoke and then a taxi to the ground/pub nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I can see this being a healthy crowd and top of the table clash based on our respective games between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much bigger than Stoke with lots of bars etc. Taxi from there to Burslem was £5 last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 My best man was from Stoke so did a few nights back in the day. Basically just got leathered so have few memories and little to add here. His family home was an interesting place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
