A council tax funded meeting place for the less intellegent and feebleminded residents of Stoke on Trent who consider the substandard display on their pitch to be of premiership quality. These "fans" are usually seen bedecked in their red and white striped XXXL Stoke shirts, bottom lip protruding, saliva dribbling, scratching their freakishly heavy brows as they contemplate how to negotiate the turnstile whilst communicating in a series of grunts and clicks. Can be heard mentioning 1972 in every sentence, as that was the one and only time they have been successful, and that was only in the League cup, a cup without any value whatsoever.

Get the Stoke City Football Club. mug.A city in Staffordshire, England. Stoke is famous across the world for it's pottery industry. Many fine brands such as Wedgewood and Spode originate from Stoke.
However, the pottery industry is currently dying a sorry and painful death, due to Mexican sweatshops being a far cheaper source of plates and cups than England, with all it's health and safety laws and 'minimum wage' bollocks.
This has resulted in Stoke, formerly a haven for academic under-achievers due to the thousands of manual jobs in pot-banks, becoming a ghost town populated by recently redundant, now-unemployable, skilless (unless you see 'Fettling and Sponging' as a skill) troglodytes wandering about having fights with each other and/or students from the two local universities.
'Stoke-on-Trent' is also Mockney rhyming slang for 'Bent'. If you ever visit the place, you will see what a splendid aptronym-cum-epithet this is.
