Oh the joys of being a Stoke City supporter... a team that bounces between divisions like a rubber ball, rarely has a cup run, managers come and go (and sometimes come and go a second time) and the supporters arguments over team formation and style of play rumble on... but are we downhearted? No, of course not! This is business as usual for SCFC, and our lives would be very dull without it... After all, we need something to talk about as the Virgin Express weaves and tilts its way towards the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke City Southern Supporters Club was established in 1968, and we are one of the founder members of APFSCIL. We have over 200 members, including an overseas contingent. We sponsor a player (currently the top scorer) and every member can nominate who we sponsor. We aim to provide travel to every game by train, minibus or car share and when group travel is available on the train we offer trips from London at a substantial discount compared to travelling alone. Membership entitles members to our regular monthly e-newsletter magazine which is stuffed full of news from the club and a travel update plus once a year there's a bumper club magazine packed with humour, nostalgia, match reports, essential debate and information for members, plus review of the season. All this for £10 a year.

We have a healthy social scene with competitive football and occasional pool team. Our website keeps members informed of what we are up to, including all the latest travel information.

We are the supporters club that Stoke City FC respect. What better way to keep in touch with fellow Stokies exiled in the south. Join now, you would be foolish not to!
