Well, it's all good news! Firstly, all the guys who went out last night in Manchester all returned home safely. The minibus driver was subjected to songs from all the newbies on the team before deciding to join in with a few numbers of his own, much to the delight of the guys. There were a few other incidents involving transvestites and fake Chicago accents but you don't want to hear about those......!
Today, Saturday, was match day. The players were treated to VIP tickets entitling them to some great seats on the half way line, sandwiches, soup and pies before, during and after the game. They were invited down onto the field just before kick off to be officially introduced and were greeted enthusiastically by the fans. The game ended in a 2-1 victory for Stoke, a great end to the day.
You can see pictures of the game against Accrington Stanley http://matchpics.fotopic.net/c1768644.html
On a side note, I took Alex from Operations and David, U23 General
Manager to a beautiful English town called Shrewsbury for a bit of down time. The town dates from the 5th century and has many beautiful old buildings including a castle, abbey, market place and merchants houses. A river surrounds the town and every shop, business, pub, street corner has hanging baskets of flowers. http://www.shrewsburyguide.info/
A peaceful Sunday awaits before back to training at Stoke City's facilities on Monday, ahead of our final game against Sheffield Wednesday reserves on Tuesday.
Back soon

By any chance Kay could you find otu from the lads what some of the songs were? ;) Mayhaps we could sing one, or two, next season at the matches back here in the states.
Cheers, Alejo
