 Not sure how much anyone on here knows about them (Sultan?) But, it is a place worth visiting, not only for the good pubs, but for the four large dominoes one is confronted with when entering the ground. Tinpot  ;D

It's about half way between Stafford and Stoke - the road from Stone to the ground was a death trap - narrow, winding, no pavement and trees either side!

They started up in the late 1980's as youth team connected with St Dominic's Church in Stone. The kids themselves chose the name "Dominoes" from this, hence the Dominoes you see there.
With much success at youth level, the club progressed to form an adult side and they now operate in the North West Counties League Premier which i think puts them at step 5, same as Daza's beloved Stratford Town, though i stand to be corrected on this.
Stone have featured as an away friendly for Stafford Rangers in recent years. We actually managed a 3-2 win there this season.

Stone had Ralf Little signed up as a player about 3 or 4 years ago but he never got to play for them with his work commitments.
Stone also has some rather nice pubs.
