Vote result: 79% would welcome safe standing at Vale Park
A poll on the OVF website indicates that a majority of Port Vale supporters would welcome the introduction of safe standing at the Vale Park stadium.
Interest in safe standing is growing after 100,000 people signed a petition calling for it to debated in parliament.
However, Vale owner Norman Smurthwaite told OVF recently that he would be against introducing safe standing at Vale Park.
Our poll shows votes from 500 fans. While we recognise that this does not represent the views of every fan, we feel it is a good representative sample which gives a strong indication of supporter feeling. To explain further – with Smurthwaite indicating at the recent fans meeting that he believes that the club has a hardcore support base of 3,000 this vote result would represent a sixth of the Vale fanbase.
