Are fucking amazing. I was sitting in Block 10 today (normally 26) so I was a damn sight closer to the away fans than usual, but fuck me, what a noise they made! Considering there were only 2-300 of them! They made me slightly embarrassed to be a Stoke fan. Considering that we're supposed to be the best in the Prem... They NEVER stopped going for 90 mins, even after we scored they kept going on. Of course I have no idea what they were chanting or what the banners meant, but the sounds they were coming out with! It wasn't just volume, it was a range of sounds that was like some weird Satanic choir! The physical movements were ace as well. I don't know what that Hitler salute thing was about, but at one point, the guy at the front made everyone sit down with one gesture, and then they all erupted into bouncing simoultaneously. Fucking unbelievable.
Well done, Hajduk. The best fans I have EVER seen. The smoke grenades and flares were fucking incredible to look at as well... Although I'm glad that you had that fucking drum confiscated.

I loved the fucking bloke at the front.
He was some sort of Torcida King and they followed what he said/wanted them to do.
Always wanted see flares in action, although I would have like them to be bigger/more smoke/last longer. ;D

They were excellent - what a shame we didn't have the full contingent of 1400 of them, that would have been a sight and a sound to behold  Well done lads - did they bring any lasses with them? |

The chant, or noise, is a well known noise, chanted around Europe a lot, a few years ago, I think the Dutch did it a lot.
They were good and a shame only a small number came. It didn't feel like a real game atmosphere with us last night, probably the lack of Alchohol !
One of the mentalist games I ever saw was an Athens derby back in the 80's, that was noisy

The constant singing was impresive but the rest
I thought it all a bit redundant really.
Not exactly a family club like ourselves. It was like going back in time 20 years.
A male chear learder
They were flares where they, thought they were lighting each others farts.
Give it the big un, couldn't push past a few stewards.

I can see why people are impressed, but I don't think anyone should be embarrassed by there own fans.
We live in two different worlds, and ours is a damn sight better.

Stoke fans are always shit midweek & cup matches...I usually can sing all match but throat wasnt having it so I see this as pre-season singing warm-up ...Their fans well it sounded just like grunting for 90mins & they liked fires...disappointed with the flares thought they'd go on for ages  ...but I did like them |

I wasn't blown away but have massive respect for their fans for belting out for near enough the full 90, even after an early goal. You're right about the evil choir noises, they'd start a long song / chant / song then finish. Then sing the same thing but louder and louder. There must have been well over the reported 200, I thought there was about 600 there. But still they made more noise than the shit fans have with full allocation.
They never seemed to turn their attention into the home fans until the last 20 minutes and from what I could see in b36 things seemed to get a little nastier but did see a lot of goading from some of our fans. There was one bloke standing at the rails of b37 and I don't think he watched the game, every time I looked over he would just be watching the Split fans, then other times he'd be making gestures.
AS RedSaturday says, we live in totally different worlds and there's no reason to be ashamed of our lot,all in all I think we gave a pretty good account of ourselves. We desperately need some new songs though.

Thought they were fantastic and what a change from having 'I wanna go home, stokes a shithole' sang at you x6633478
That guy conducting it was ace, especially when he was having half sit/half stand chanting alternately.
Was very cringeworthy when we sang Ingerlund. Goin be a few little Englanders goin split, I can see them getting in a pickle.

They made some noise and put on a great show but they are without doubt the nastiest bunch of morons ever to visit. Everyone of them showed pure hatred for anything to do with Stoke.
Its a good job we`ve moved on from 15-20 years ago or else this game would have been abandoned ;D

Foreign fans always sound better, that's because their "songs" don't have any words in them, its just alot of oooing and arring. Barca did it in the CL final and everyone was banging on about how awesome it was.
Anyone can make noise, but only the English can make noise using more than one mouth movement.

My mate from Denmark would disagree with you here. In Denmark the cheerleader has a high chair (I kid you not ;D) and spends the whole of the game with his back to the pitch orchestrating the mob for the whole 90 minutes. Because of this they can never reach the heights that an English crowd hits in spontaneous chant. He also maintains that there is nothing like the roar of an English crowd in Europe |

Well done lads - did they bring any lasses with them?
