Bumper crowd v's Shrewsbury?

[SneydGreenValiant]

After tonights great result, upto 3rd in the Table, and the news of massive investment, (what the majority of us have been hoping & waiting for), plus the prospect of an exciting and BIG game against Shrewsbury; will fans finally begin to return?

 

Thoughts?.....

6,500 tops I reckon. They'll bring about 500/600.

people aint feelin the love

 

6500 tops

[SneydGreenValiant]

Suppose you can't please them all!

 

People love summit whinge n moan about nowadays!

[The Wonder of You]

considering there was a good offer tonight and only 4300 Vale Fans attended I cannot see the game generating any more than 5800 IMO. Unless of course more detail is given to show the investment in a great light and GO and BB depart forthwith. Hope so.

[nodge]

Can't get down, i'm working. Hoping for a win though, Shrews are no mugs, be a tough game!

[Bede]

I'm not yet ready to return.

 

I'm happy with tonight's result and it's pleasing to see us 3rd. If we beat Shrews then Crewe will be massive.

 

I'm not convinced that we're strong enough to sustain a season long promotion push but if this investment turns out to be half decent and we do get a few bob to strengthen then we may well be in with a sensibly realistic shout to do it.

 

If off the pitch we see the back of Oliver and Lord Bratt and some of this investment comes good then I can see the second half of the season being like the first half of last season and that would be superb.

 

As yet though, I don't know anything about this deal and don't trust Deakin nor Lloyd and will continue to stay away and assess how things go in the next couple of weeks.

 

Lloyd has already reneged on his promise to discuss the deal openly with fans. Not a great start to a new era of openness and honesty between board and fans.

Same view as TWOY and Bede, although if the detail to this deal comes out and proves to be kosher, it could have a good impact on the gate.

 

As I see it, we are still in the position of change being imminent, but it hasn't actually happened to the extent required.

 

What we need now is the boardroom changes to begin, this deal to come out with more detail and to be the real deal, and for the new era to really begin properly.

 

Hopefully today is the start of the end for a lot of folk who have been keeping away and that in the very near future we can move toward, as one.

When Bratt and Oliver have gone, and Sims is on the board if he still wants to be, then I will consider it. I need more than a post on a web site, we have had them before.

Shrewsbury play Arsenal after us! This might be to our advantage

Agreed but it will also impact on their following, I have chatted to a Shrews fan at work and he reckons it will only be around 600-700 travelling due to going to Arsenal the week after.

[Franky Skinner]

I heard when going through the turnstile off one of the stewards tonight that it may be cheap entry again come Saturday? Anybody else heard this? I think this would be a great idea!!!

again this is cant be a bad thing! I bet half their team are dreading coming up against Griff on Saturday in fear of injury haha

[BIRCHES HEAD WHITES]

glad the results have improved again but sorry sneyd green i'm just a sad whinger and i will not be returning until there is some real proof that this is happening .

 

when micky comes out and says he has backing and we see some class loan players initially (you know players we have heard of , that sort of stuff) then maybe vtid fans like me will return in their thousands. i do not care about licks of paint and shiney seats i want team investment the rest is just sundry to me .

 

your attendance saturday will be 6700 , unfortunately about 2500 off where it should be for a saturday top of the table clash.

It'll be my first time at Vale Park this season, though mainly because of birthday celebrations, rather than thinking everything is sorted!
