Watch the full 90 mins: Port Vale v Kidderminster Harriers, FA Cup, 2004
Ahead of the 2021 FA Cup first round tie with Accrington, we wanted to whet your appetite with another of our “as live” full match videos from yesteryear.
Join us at 7.30pm on Wednesday evening to watch the video premiere of Port Vale v Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup first round, 2004 with fellow fans. During the premiere you will also be able to chat with fans during the action.
Port Vale in 2004…
Manager Martin Foyle had added a number of signings in the summer including Lee Matthews (pictured), Jeff Smith, Dean Smith and Robin Hulbert. However, the side suffered a blow when striker Steve Brooker was sold to Bristol City in September. Mark Goodlad also picked up an injury. This first round tie against Kidderminster took place after Vale had ended two games without scoring by beating Barnsley 2-1 away.
About these videos
During the shortened Coronovirus season, we started showing a series of full-length Port Vale videos to entertain fans who were in lockdown. Some of the games we showed in full included several Potteries derbies, the Liverpool League Cup tie, the Autoglass final and the Derby County FA Cup match.

Viewing guide
It’s not a classic (we have already shown most of them) but we hope it’s entertaining to watch an old Vale game and also interesting to watch a game featuring the Vale team of seventeen years ago. It contained players such as Billy Paynter, Chris Birchall, George Pilkington and Sam Collins. Please note – the video doesn’t have any commentary so all you’ll hear is the crowd noise (just like being there then!). Please note this video is also seventeen years old so there is some pixelation and loss of quality.
The video will “premiere” on Wednesday at 7.30pm on the OVF YouTube channel. Join us then to watch it “as live” and also discuss the game live in the chat box. If you miss the premiere then it will be available on the OVF YouTube channel to watch anytime after the premiere has finished.
