The Stadium
The ground is a big, handsome, change from the old Baseball Ground, which was the former home of the Club since 1895. The new stadium, which was officially opened by the Queen in 1997, is totally enclosed with all corners being filled.
One corner is filled with executive boxes, giving the stadium a continental touch. The large Toyota West Stand which runs down one side of the pitch is two tiered, complete with a row of executive boxes. The rest of the ground is smaller in size than the West Stand, as the roof drops a tier to the other sides.
Away Fans
Stoke City have sold out their entire allocation of 5,500 tickets for this encounter. The Club currently have a waiting list in operation for any returned tickets. If you would like more information on this, then please contact the Britannia Stadium Ticket Office.
Supporters will be housed behind the goal in the Winfield Construction (South) Stand.
