Mate i am from Staffordshire and i assure you Stoke is completely different from the rest of the county. I went to uni there, and it is the land that time forgot. There are places in stoke such as Hanley, Biddulph and Burslem that are places that you would never want to visit.
Staffordshire is one of the most nicest areas in the country (stoke aside), so dont class everywhere in Staffordshire as the same just because you have visited stoke once!
Staffordshire has very nice places, as has been said, if you look at the likes of Dovedale, Cheadle, Burton, Litchfield etc but it definitely has it's scum which is why i hate Stoke matches! Lets not forget what the thread is about, a bloke with a fractured skull!
Where about in Staffordshire you from Sicko? Fancy a bum?
Dovedale is Derby isn't it?
