Tell them keep a lookout our strikers might be shooting at the goal.

What a statement that is all that is needed is carol to get her head in the right place and get rid of the man who is sending us up the river without a paddle.As for EL PRESIDENTE through all the years of my family we have spent more money on the vale than him so do not hold your breath about Robbie Williams. I am proud to be a supporter of the vale family my father for 83 years myself for 75 years my son and daughter for 44 and 51 years my two grandchildren 14 and 22 years .Being a vale in stoke on trent has been hard to swallow at times we are loyal till the end that is DNA that sticks to us all for life.Good and bad times there have been some shocking decisions made i will give you just two sacking the the icon of port vale which is and always will be for me that is Roy Sproson,and doing the same to John Rudge the two men who gave us great pleasure watching the vale play.Now what have we got today THE PROCESS trying to make Smith play like Beckenbaur it will never happen playing people out of positions buying players who are gutless and totally short of abilty to play pro football.

Those steps are dangerous unlike our strikers.

I would say that 9 of that squad could play in league 1 easy

Bob Delgado, Ged Stenson, and Kenny Todd would fit in our squad perfectly at the moment.I think Flitcroft would make them the cornerstone of our team.

Think you might be banging your head against a brick wall on that one.

I just hope there is a bell in it so our forwards know its coming.

I will certainly renew mine and the wives season ticket next season because it will always be my club.It will be my 70th season next year i have seen some brilliant teams playing in the black and white and black and amber of the vale iv also seen a lot of dross on the vale park pitch.But if the vale retain Massey and Wilson i will be like them carn't be arsed to turn up.

If Flitcroft was at the vale on tuesday night to my mind he is a coward and a charlatan he sacked David Dunn that afternoon who must have refused take that team out onto vale park.So that left the only man at the club who has managerial experience was himself He decides how we play formations not sure but he must have picked that team but being the kind of man he is he hung 3 academy coaches out to dry.Not only that he hung a 16yr lad out aswell and if true instead of sitting in the ivory tower with Patrick he should have had the guts to take his responsability and been in the dug out to lead the bloody mess that he has created on vale parks pitch.

A Darren Hughes look a like would me everytime

The mini revival will come crashing down this Saturday.

Used to live 5 mins away from the sun street track went there every saturday night watching Ken Adams , Reg Fearman, Pete Jarman then a young Ivan Mauger turned up for newcastle diamonds and was unbeatable around our track, Remember the night when the special guest at the interval was Pat Pheonix [ elsie tanner] to all corrie fans driving round the track in a big car.I used to have the stoke potters badge with the bars for every new season.At the end of the season the top riders from every club used to go to Belle Vue track for the provincial riders championship remember one year Jack Kitchen won his 5 rides on the night and still did not win the championship because the top four raced off in the final a certain Ivan Mauger won the run off Jack finished second.I also used to go Belle Vue now and again my favorite rider of all time was englands Peter Craven who sadly died young while riding at Edinbough when he crashed in the wall around the track.Those were the days i treasure most watching the vale and speedway while growing up smashing memories never to be forgotten.

Yes he was came over from New Zealand and rode for Newcastle Diamonds against the potters before he came world champion.My all time favorite speedway rider was Peter Craven of Belle vue who also became world champion but was tragically killed at Edinburgh Monarchs speedway track when he hit the wall that surrounded their track a great loss to british speedway at the time.

Very sad to see it closing down takes me back to my younger days when i used to go every saturday to sun street shelton to see Harris,Adams,Jarman ,and Colin Pratt riding for the potters against Ivan Mauger and the likes of Barry Briggs good times long gone.
