Stoke sell out their end

Stoke were given 2,230 ticket for the game in a couple of weeks, all of which were on sale to their "True Stoke Supporters Card" holders. This afternoon they sold out for the short trip up the M6.

Crewe still have just over 1,000 tickets for home fans, with customer numbers, left for the first visit of Stoke since 1998.

The club have already warned any Crewe 'fans' who hand tickets onto Stoke fans will face a lengthy ban from future games - you can easily be traced.

As for any Stoke fans wishing to buy tickets in the homes ends... p*ss off.
