Stoke City boss Tony Pulis wants the fans to turn out in force and cheer the Potters on to European glory when they host FC Thun in the second leg of their Europa League play-off tie on Thursday. The Potters won the first leg 1-0 in Switzerland last week and are now in a good position to qualify for the group stage of the European competition.
"We've given ourselves an excellent chance of going through, but we will need to be at our best against a very good side," Pulis told Stoke's official website.
"It will be important, therefore, to have the backing of a big crowd when we return to our place.
"Knowing what magnificent support we've had once again so far this season, both at home and away, I am sure there'll be a fantastic atmosphere because it's a great opportunity to take another step on our incredible journey.
"It'll be our sixth game in a very tough first month of the season so the lads will need all the encouragement they can get."
