5th April 2014. Port Vale v Walsall, pre match, match itself.

The sad thing is that many people have just lost interest this season. Lets be honest we have nothing to play for and there is a lot of negativity around Port Vale. Smurf really isn't helping things as well. I know many ST holders who have no interest in going and won't be renewing next year. The reason for this is Norman Smurthwaite. People might choose no to believe this, but the fact is it's true. Twice this season we have sub 4000 crowds when we are a league higher, who expected that? People will only to come to watch when there's something to play for and there is a buzz around the club. Sad, but true.

What do you expect to be playing for in L1? Our gates are mid table, there are at least 6 big teams in this league, some of which are below us. Only 3 times in the last 60 odd years have we been promoted from this league, people go to watch thier local team, hoping for a win and a good performance. Very rarely does the buzz last beyond Xmas unless there is a cup run, same as it is at most lower league clubs, or would you prefer a relegation dog fight?

Just spoke to the ticket office. After buying online I was unable to print the tickets. Apparently there is a problem and anyone buying tickets online will have to print the confirmation and take it to the ticket office tomorrow.

its interesting reading their forum. They are viewing it as a play off 6 pointer whereas we (including myself) seem to viewing it as a bit of a dead rubber

Lets hope they bring a following good enough to prove their point

Maybe they have an ambitious chairman ? An ambitious manager ? Or maybe even ambitious players ? Maybe the club and it's employees don't continually hit out at their fans ?

Don't wish to be rude, but are you asked to leave the premises during happy hour....... Cheer up Marra, it's nearly all over for another season

Team is

 

Johnson

Duffy

Robbo

Dicko

Jones

Birchall

Knott

Loft

JMW

Pope

Tomlin

[Guest TommyMac]

Duffy at RB and Dicko CH. That defence looks very weak to me. They'll probably prove me wrong now and keep a clean sheet.

[PVFC764]

I want Micky to inspire a last minute surge into the play offs, just to **** Smurf off :D

 

Heart would say yes that would be magical and really finish the season off. Smurf's face would be funny, as we win at Wembley and everyone is celebrating in the sun.

 

But logically, Peterborough will secure that last place.

Knew he'd drop Davis again ****ing hell

Knew he'd drop Davis again ****ing hell

 

He really mustn't like him, he wasnt even that bad, one mistake and back out of the team, great for a young lads confidence!

[PVFC764]

Come on Vale. 3 points please and defence, can you only let one goal in, if you cant keep a clean sheet.

[Andyregs]

Why don't we just play people in their best positions?
