Stoke-Gosford is and always will be our spiritual home and if we return to the Ricoh which I think may happen once JR is done it will still not feel like home. We were a local community club with stadium just outside city centre which everyone loved not just home fans but away fans too and I believe this ripped the heart and soul when we moved to the edge of the city. The old Stoke plant on Humber Rd would of been ideal as the fans would have used same routine and pubs on match days.When SISU do leave the new owners will still have a club which does not own it's stadium but I would love a local consortium to take over and bring the club back to its roots.
Miss HR more than I ever thought and had totally changed my life even though I'm now 42 and family of my own.

I agree largely with the OP, the point he was trying to make was moving away from the "spiritual home", not necessarily HR was a wrench for a lot of people. I don't think I'll ever regard Ricoh as being "home", owing largely to my age, the location and even the lack of ownership of the bloody place!I miss Highfield Road too, buts its gone. I wish we can bring it back but we cant, so we need to look to the future. The Ricoh is our home now and i think we all want us to go back there. Everyone was saying The Ricoh didnt feel like home before we left and they're starting to realise it is home, so although eveyrone misses HR, i think everyone agrees The Ricoh is where we need to be
It is the spiritual home of the club for sure. I may not appreciate as much as the old guard do as i only went to HR 3 times due to my age. I've been to the Ricoh a lot more so i regard it as our home. We probably shouldnt have left HR. It was in a great central position and it had so much history. But because of the selfishness of Geoffory Robinson and a lot of people who lived around the stadium we had to move, which has put us in the position we find ourselves in. So IMO, the residents and Robinson are also responsible
