Stoke City are to host Coventry City in the FA Cup during the weekend of the 10th January 2026 in a battle to be one of the last 32 in the competition.

Great result on a great day with Stoke going into second spot meaning we face Coventry City on Saturday, a top two of the table clash! Surely NOT a game to be missed?

What a day!

For me it didn’t start very well as the traffic into Southampton was just awful. Every road had some roadworks going on on it, every turn into a new road saw another blockage, another event that hindered the planned time of arrival.

But arrive I did and I think there was only a handful of other Stokies there when I arrived but no sooner was I there than many more started to arrive, ice cream and beer being the order of the day!

On entering the stadium the very friendly staff checked ticket and then to the bar for a beer. I then realized I was on tablets and the beer was not doing me any good, so I gave it away after about 4 mouthfuls.

Then I took my seat and the gam began and I have to say it was good to so Stoke City dominating a game in the way they did pretty much all the way through the game and to prove that point Stoke went ahead with a goal scored by Baker just after the 50th minute, so good, the celebrations were so good. The dominance continued that is until the sending off of Mubama (I still don’t know why? Diving everyone thought?)

No sooner than he was off Stoke however Stoke were 0-2 ahead, goal from Thomas what a belter.

After that I thought Southampton had a lot of the game, but they couldn’t put their extra man to make an advantage and after whet seemed to be an hours extra time, the ref blew his whistle and we won, such a wonderful feeling.

On March 10, 1934, a massive crowd of 84,569 fans packed Maine Road to watch Manchester City take on Stoke City in an FA Cup quarterfinal match. This staggering attendance remains the largest for an English Club match outside of Wembley Stadium and has stood the test of time. This record attendance is a testament to the popularity and excitement of English football, particularly in the early 20th century

This Saturday I’ll be at St. Mary’s Stadium for Southampton v Stoke City, and I can’t wait. There’s always a buzz before an away day, and this one feels like it could be special.

Southampton at home are never easy, but Stoke have been showing more determination recently, and I’m hoping we can take that spirit onto the pitch. It’s the kind of game where anything can happen – a tight battle, a moment of magic, or a scrappy goal that changes everything.

For me, it’s as much about the occasion as it is the result. The walk up to the ground, the atmosphere building in the stands, and that moment when the teams walk out – it all adds to the excitement.

I’ll be there backing Stoke all the way, hoping the lads can bring something home. Whatever happens, it’s another memory to add to the journey of following my club. Here’s to a good game, and hopefully, three points in the bag!

The club have announced several changes to the game timing in the forthcoming season. Those fixtures have now been updated on this website, please keep checking for further changes to the games.

The 1972 Football League Cup Final took place on 4 March 1972 at Wembley Stadium and was contested by Chelsea and Stoke City.

Chelsea went into the match as strong favourites having won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the previous two seasons, whereas Stoke City were attempting to win our first major trophy. 

Terry Conroy put Stoke into the lead early on, but Chelsea hit back through Peter Osgood just before half time. Stoke got the decisive final goal from veteran George Eastham to end our long 109-year wait for a major honour. 

It remains Stoke City’s only major trophy victory, the closest they have come since then to beating this achievement was in 2011 when they lost to Manchester City in the 2011 FA Cup Final.
