Ninian Park to be full for opener

It's not the most inviting of places to go considering Stoke's apparent rivalry with Cardiff off the pitch aswell as on it - so it's fair to say that this one wont be our biggest away crowd of the season - although over 1,000 Stokies will be heading to Cardiff to support the Potters on their first game of the season.

"Tickets are selling very well and I can see a sell-out when it comes to the home supporters," said Peter Ridsdale from Cardiff.
