butt lane vale fan

Just seen this online. A good article about Darell that might explain why he can come across the way he does at times. archive.ph ARCHIVE.PH

That's why it peed me off when Vale fans were happy about selling 4500 STs. Then you get Vale fans laughing about Stokes gates. Come on folks we need get our own house in order before taking the micky over other clubs attendances. Wouldn't it be nice to aim for at least an average of 10,000 every home game, rather than be happy because we have sold less Season Tickets than Wrexham in Non League have sold. They even took over 1000 for a midweek game to Maidstone.

Quoted as now being the richest club in Europe or even the whole of Football. So I would image their whole squad including the first team are now classed as Peasants that the Club can now afford to get rid of. Lol

Not read all this thread however someone mentioned on FB that Carol had been warned the Club will lose their safety Certificate if fans carry on standing and that she was really worried about it, hence the actions of stewards now. No idea if true.

Tbf Chris, you did say Bradford were a better club. Bigger maybe on the condition they get more fans as their Season tickets are about £100, however if you love the Vale, no club is better, at least in L2 anyway. I think fans are just getting the impression you hate Clarke mate, however if you saw tonight's performance you cannot say he hasn't brought in far better players than Askey. Look at Garrity, Jones and Proctor, most on here weren't impressed however so far they have looked fantastic additions. So Clarke deserves credit for that tbf.

Tbf Stockport were poorly supported through the 90's and were always classed as a small club. Wrexham I agree have got potential to get decent gates. Infact haven't they sold around 5600 ST'S.

No I know mate, it was from Thurs or Fri. Just noticed it on YouTube. The bloke who runs them is an agent for Jamaican players. Think one has signed for Villa last week.

Wait till we sign 11 Jamaicans this Friday 🤣🤣

Sadly that will be coming from people who thought Pope was bigger than the Club.

Hope you don't mind mate but I've copied your post and sent it to Carol. I know they can't do much about the BBC but perhaps a way they can help.

But still got over 19000 v Reading. If only we could get that many. 😁. Must admit it does make me cringe when Vale fans laugh about Stokes gates. Until we get similar we can't really comment.

Tbf am I the only one disappointed with them figures. Yeah considering we are L2 fair enough, but does any other Vale fan dream that one day we could average over 10k plus. I just get peed off being called a tin pot club compared to them lot down the road who can pull 15k to 20k every week. Wouldn't it be nice to be the biggest club in the area for a change.

The problem is somehow I don't think the majority of fans will except midtable. Whilst I agree it's great the club is now on the up, owner and infrastructure wise, we obviously need to get out of this League ASAP. Having said all that, I'm like you, in questioning whether we have enough up top. Only time will tell

I mentioned that to Carol, just purely in a good spirit, partic as obviously she wants new fans to be impressed if we are to increase potential fan base. She replied that she would pass onto the facilities team, and then within 30 mins she wrote back that a new drain was being installed as she typed. She must of had her Weetabix today 🤣🤣

No doubting what Tom did for the Club during our promotion season, however after he left and went to Bury, sadly some fans like the Allen's came across as though Pope was bigger than the Club, even wanting him to score for Bury against us. Sorry but that all left a sour taste towards after that, as I did get the impression at times as though he felt he was bigger than the Club and could potentially be disruptive behind the scenes. Obviously just my own personally opinion. Again, yes he brought us some excellent memories, however sorry Tom your not bigger than PVFC

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/vaccine-passports-football-matches-coming-24610700.amp?__twitter_impression=true

If only. I could even take a day off if I earnt anywhere near that with no Business overheads lol

So you won't be allowed in any mass gathering event without being double jabbed from Sept. Guess that will include all football grounds. That will increase staffing costs and the amount of time you have to queue for a Ticket.

Nice apart from one thing, the bloody tarts collar. I want a football shirt with a proper round neck, no collar on it, not a ruddy tarts outfit. Lol

There is actually a weird stat over that Pre season. Didn't we play both United and Sheff Wed in Friendlies as well as Walsall on Boxing Day. Then end up getting relegated. Fast Forward to the Season of our last relegation, we also beat Man U at home in a Friendly, played Sheff Wed in a friendly and also played and lost to Walsall on Boxing day.

I did watch a YouTube video the other week and whilst it looked really nice, the only thing I would fault is portion sizes. [emoji1787]. It looked a bit too much like Pecks at Astbury, and the last time I took an ex there, we left after 8 courses to then have to go Tesco for something eat as I was still Hungry. [emoji1787]. Think of Gordon Ramsey sized portions and you won't be far out. So must admit for me I'd rather a 32oz Steak and all the trimmings [emoji1787]

Remind me on to put full stops in next time [emoji1787][emoji1787]. Blame the pussy distracting me [emoji1787]

Good question mate lol, but for 1 guy to say on Thursday he was there, and then for another guy to say the same but with more detail, would def say its true, especially as the 2 Sources don't know one another, they are both totally genuine lads, and the later source with more detail does work with Wilsons Brother in Law.

Was told by a genuine source yesterday that he was there yesterday, so asked a separate friend who's works with his Brother in Law
