Your support makes all the difference.Stoke manager Tony Pulis is weighing up whether to give former England defender Jonathan Woodgate his competitive debut in tonight's Europa League third qualifying round first-leg tie against Hajduk Split at the Britannia Stadium.The 31-year-old joined the Potters on a pay-as-you-play deal this summer after making only four appearances in the last two seasons for Tottenham due to injury.
Pulis has backed the Stoke fans to give Hajduk a welcome to remember as the Potters begin their first European campaign for 37 years. He said: "It's exciting times. It's part of what has been a fantastic five years at the club. To have the opportunity of playing a European game at the Britannia against such a famous side is first class. We're looking forward to it."
