stokecityfc.com are delighted to announce that the brand new Stoke City Player will be launching to replace Stoke City World in time for the start of the 2009/10 Barclays Premier League season.

Stoke City Player will still continue to offer everything Stoke City World currently does, but in a much better way!

Videos will increase to a 1MB stream and live match commentary will be near DAB quality.

Subscribers can now get the whole experience ad-free with both PC and MAC users now able to get a piece of the action.

Stoke City Player will offer:

- Full match commentary live from every league & cup game throughout the season
- Extended match highlights from every game throughout the season
- Coverage from pre-match press conferences
- Exclusive post-match interviews with Tony Pulis and his players
- Exclusive 'Question Time' interviews with key figures at the Club
- Searchable video archive from seasons gone by
- Highlights from classic games in the Club's history

Existing subscribers to Stoke City World need not worry either - they'll be automatically transferred to the new Stoke City player and will be able to log on using their current username and password.

Membership to Stoke City World is currently available for just £4.99 until 20th August, allowing you to relive all the highlights from last season, catch the first interviews with any new players we might sign and watch highlights from the pre-season games. To join, click HERE.
