So it’s Port Vale versus Stoke City under-21s in the next round of the Checkatrade Trophy.
The local rivals were paired together when the last 32 draw was conducted this afternoon, but what do the rival fans think?
After 17 years since the clubs last met in anger, are they ready to embrace the game on a one-off basis?
The controversial nature of the competition since it was revamped to allow youth teams from Premier League and Championship clubs to take part, means plenty of fans have snubbed it. But will it be any different this time?
For once - and this is a rarity - Stoke and Vale fans have found something to agree on. Many of them are against the latest incarnation of the old Football League Trophy and will not be going to the game.
Others are ready to put their aside their opposition for now to try and rekindle some of their old Potteries football rivalry. Which side of the divide are you on?
