Stoke-on-Trent is roughly halfway between Manchester and Birmingham, so either of those is probably your best bet. You could also try Liverpool or East Midlands (Nottingham), but there getting there may be more awkward.

It's on the main Manchester-London rail line with frequent services. I imagine it's well served from Birmingham as well. Go to National Rail Enquiries (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/) for more info. As for buses, try National Express (http://www.nationalexpress.com/home.aspx/).

Enjoy the game. Won't be going myself.
