Port Vale set unwelcome club records after home defeat
Port Vale’s sorry home defeat to Tranmere Rovers means the side have set two unwanted new club records.
Record One: Ten consecutive home league games without a win
The Valiants’ last home win in the League was way back in October when they beat Bury 1-0. The defeat to Tranmere means the side have now gone ten home games without a win for the first time in their history.
Their sorry league record at home was:
- Port Vale 1-0 Bury
- Port Vale 2-2 Notts Co
- Port Vale 0-1 Swindon Town
- Port Vale 2-2 Cheltenham Town
- Port Vale 0-1 Grimsby Town
- Port Vale 1-4 Oldham Athletic
- Port Vale 0-3 Colchester United
- Port Vale 0-1 Carlisle United
- Port Vale 0-1 Morecambe
The defeat to Tranmere takes the run to ten games.
Record Two: Longest time without a goal being scored
Port Vale’s last League scorer before this fixture was Ricky Miller who scored the winner against Crawley Town back in January. Ben Whitfield did score against Tranmere but it wasn’t till the 59th minute meaning Vale set a new record of 572 minutes without scoring.
