Watch: Neil Aspin thanks fans after securing League status
Port Vale manager Neil Aspin has praised Port Vale supporters after a 1-1 draw with Mansfield secured League Two safety.
Tom Pope’s late goal means Vale are now safe from relegation.
I had a lot of support from the fans and it meant a lot…
After the game Aspin commented: “I’d like to thank the supporters.
“It’s not only been a difficult season, but a difficult number of years. They’ve had nothing to shout about and when we had the meeting with the chairman on that Thursday night, we weren’t winning games.
“I had a lot of support from the fans and it meant a lot. But, we have to improve results to give them something to cheer about. The fans were brilliant today, it makes a huge difference and they will be delighted that it was Popey who scored it.”
