Colchester United 0 Stoke City 1


The wait goes on for another week..... Stoke City moved a step nearer promotion to the Premier League with a narrow win over Colchester in what was the last ever game to be staged at Layer Road. Stoke City were five minutes from reaching the top tier of English football for the first time in 23 years, until Hull City scored a late winner against Crystal Palace.

They still lead Hull by three points, but their inferior goal difference means Stoke can still be caught on the final day of the season. Hull's win looks set to see promotion delayed, rather than denied to Stoke. The Britannia Stadium could yet see a party.

Hey, thanks for dropping by! I've stopped following English football for a while, so this little piece of info on Stoke is priceless, man.

Cheers!
