A series of caches placed around Trentham to celebrate the managers, good and bad, of Stoke City Football Club.

A variety of caches have been placed, some harder to find than others, I hope you enjoy finding them all. I have lived in Trentham all my life and I hope you enjoy my little trail I have laid out for you, hopefully your geocaching adventures will take you on a nice little walk around Trentham.

You do not have to cross the fence to find the cache.

A popular coach and assistant manager to Lou Macari he was appointed Stoke City's manager in our first season at the Britannia Stadium. After a steady start things started to go badly and hit rock bottom in January 1998 with a 7-0 defeat at home to Birmingham City. Bates was sacked a week after this result.
