A NEW season is now underway . . . and it's a particularly exciting one for all Stoke City supporters looking forward to our third campaign in the Barclays Premier League.

One of the most pleasing features of the Club's success in recent seasons has been the number of young supporters following our fortunes and wearing our colours, which is why changes made to the Junior Potters are a key part of the new Membership scheme

It is fantastic to see so many young faces and families in the big crowds at the Britannia Stadium and introducing this Membership scheme has given the Club the opportunity to re-establish the Junior Supporters programme following the recent success of City 7s.

The aim of the Junior categories, of which there are three, is to ensure that young supporters get even more fun and enjoyment out of supporting their heroes.

The three categories have been created for different age groups, starting with Mini Potters for 0-3 year olds, then Junior Potters for 4-11 year olds and Teen Potters for 12-16 year olds.

For those of you have already joined as Members, there will be exciting news of events which will take place in the future in this section.
