The damage has been done. The fans won't come back. There won't be any welcome home party. Some will start to come back gradually but not in the numbers you are expecting. Generations will be lost, loyal fans have lost interest.

 

You were warned SEO would do this. You shirked responsibility for it. This is your victory.

Some fans like itch and thecharlatans just enjoy having a go at their own fans and would hate for them to become united again.

 

I've made many calls on here for the fans to become united again. They were ignored, obviously. Too many people had too much to gain.

I think it goes beyond swallowing pride. For many, this battle has taken their love/passion of Vale away. They have seen a horrible side to this club, even to the fan base, and that has surely had an impact on them. They have lost trust in the club, and that is much more important than their own pride. Others have simply found other things to do with their Saturday and are enjoying the extra £20.50 in their pocket every other week. Yes, some are being stubborn, but I think the above reasons account for more fans than stubbornness does.

 

I don't think SEO need to release a statement to show their current stance. SEO is just a name. Each individual fan has their own list of things that need achieving before they return. For some it is BB and GO leaving, for some it is MS going on the board, some will want to see 8m quid materialise.

 

Personally, I think change is here, it's just a matter of time before BB and GO leave and the money starts to make an impact. But that ball is rolling, it really is just a matter of time. I for one would now be willing to attend home games. However, my boss just put me on a 1k training course and wants to get his money back through me working on Saturdays instead of hiring contractors in. So I cant attend no matter what. But if I could attend, I would have to pick and choose my games as £20.50 is a lot of money to me right now.

 

Good post .......there is more than one reason for not attending it is now up to the individual

Not sure who that is aimed at to be honest, but it would sum up my feelings entirely towards Bratt and Oliver.

 

This is what they won at the EGM. Years of damage to the club they profess to love.

 

Personally, I can see the return looming. The itch is too great to leave unscratched.

 

However until the board changes are made, the fix will continue to be found away from Vale Park.

 

Hopefully though Saturday December 17th will be the day I as an individual fan can begin to bury the past 8 years of dismay and begin hoping for a better future.

swallowing pride ? I assume you are thanking all the various campaign groups for helping to get Ble Sky in rather than Ameriturf ?

 

No I'm not thanking any group all you did was divide supporters with all your rants

 

Get over it now and pull together
