In a sense I am kind of relieved, as mentioned earlier, the possibility of playing Stoke was a lose/lose situation. Might bother going despite being really against the format, will see how I feel at the time. Won't be able to make myself miss the Crewe game so don't really want to pick & choose fixtures for the tournament...

In matches like this I support the home team but it's a no lose situation really.

 

Do you remember Jean, or did you go, when Vale played Newcastle in the League Cup in the 1972/73 season, 10,000 plus crowd and Summerscales scoring for Vale, Malcolm M

 

Vale were in with a chance until it went to 3-1 from 2-1.

It's one of the matches from that time that stands out for me, even though some 90s fixtures against Newcastle Utd were far more recent (relatively)

For that League Cup game we were actually on holiday ........... up in the North East! Would never allow that to happen now!

The FA Cup tie at St James' in the early 90's doesn't stand out then ? Any reason for that !

One of my best experiences with Vale was a few years after that match when Vale drew 2-2 at Newcastle when 2 down with around 7 minutes remaining. Vale drawing a league game there ! Always had (and still do) a soft spot for Newcastle because of the Gordon Lee connection. Don't think he himself was to popular up there though. Continually playing Graham Oates didn't help. Cue Jean !

Gordon Lee was as popular there as a bacon sandwich in a Synagogue.

That same season Vale reached the 3rd round of the FA Cup and drew WHU up here. Two 1st division teams in a season at Vale was a big thing then. Vale, as I remember, played really well and had what looked a perfectly good Bob Mountford goal disallowed. Pat Holland scored what turned out to be the West Ham winner. I excitedly got the Sunday papers because, despite defeat Vale had played well. What did I read.? WHU manager Ron Greenwood taking a leaf out of Alf Ramsey's book and described us as ANIMALS. Never forgive him for that.
