Railway Stand seats available to buy for Sutton Utd cup tie, Port Vale confirm

Port Vale FC have confirmed that sections of the Railway Paddock and Railway Stand will be available for the club’s League Cup third round tie against League Two side Sutton United.

The stand was closed for the second round cup tie against Crewe Alexandra but in a statement the club said:

After listening to feedback from supporters following our Carabao Cup fixture against Crewe Alexandra, the club have made the decision to open sections of the Railway Paddock and Railway Stand against Sutton United in addition to the Hamil Road Stand and Lorne Street Stand.

The club want to create the best experience for all supporters entering Vale Park and will continue to listen and be flexible in our planning to ensure everyone has the best possible time whilst in the stadium.

It costs a considerable amount of money to open every stand and the club has to find a balance between opening all stands that supporters wish to sit in and running fixtures at a financial loss.

Currently, only the sections closest to the Hamil Road Stand will be open with other sections remaining closed unless of course ticket sales dictate to us that there is a need to open the rest of the stand.

We’d also like to remind all supporters that Vale Park is an all-seater stadium and to show courtesy and understanding to those who are around you who also want to enjoy the match.

Tickets for the Railway Paddock and Railway Stand will go on sale at 5pm on Tuesday 12th September.

Supporters who have already purchased tickets in the Lorne Street Stand or the Hamil Road Stand and now wish to move to the Railway Stand or Railway Paddock can change their ticket by contacting the club store.
