Stoke Rivalry

Stoke have a traditional rivalry going with Port Vale, a team based in Stoke-on-Trent as well, and despite the lack of matches played between them (46 in the league, the last in 2002). Due to the two clubs being mostly in different divisions, their clashes are usually very tight, and Stoke only have a slight advantage so far, 15 to 12.

But the rarity of their games has resulted in Stoke developing rivalries with the clubs from the Midlands, such as West Bromwich Albion, Derby County and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Stoke History

There are claims that the club was first established in 1863 under the name of Stoke Ramblers and that’s what the club themselves say, though the official records do not provide any substance to it. The first documented match was played in 1868 against a team called EW May XV, and the Potters, called that way after the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent.

Their first home was at the Victoria Cricked Club ground, but the two entities were joined into Stoke Football Club in 1878 and the venue was renamed to Victoria Ground. The club played there until the opening of the Britannia Stadium in 1997, and that name was changed in 2016 due to a stadium-naming-rights agreement between Stoke City and bet365. It is now called the bet365 Stadium.

The ashes of former player Sir Stanley Matthews, who died in 2000 having opened the stadium three years earlier, were buried beneath the centre circle of the pitch. To this day, Matthews remains Stoke’s most celebrated player ever.

The darkest moment in the history of the club, and one of the darkest in the history of the sport, happened on 9 March 1946. The FA Cup had just been re-launched following the end of World War II, and in the sixth round, Stoke played away to Bolton Wanderers. The event would later be known as the Burnden Park disaster, due to 33 people losing their lives and over 500 injured in a man-crush. It was the stadium disaster with the highest death-toll ever until the Ibrox Park disaster in 1971.

Stoke have spent most of their time in the top division, but they’ve never managed to win the league title. Their longest ever period without top-flight football was between 1985 and 2008, followed by a decade in the Premier League and the relegation in 2018.

Stoke’s only major trophy to date is the 1972 League Cup, though they did reach another final (1964), as well as the final of the FA Cup in 2011 which they lost to Manchester City.
