If the present owner stays I'm finished

Smurthwaite you have finally cracked me and if you get us relegated out of the Football League then I vow never to attend another game until you have left our Club for good.

Tonight I feel lower than at any time in the 55 years plus that I have followed Port Vale. I have seen us on our backside before due to poor leadership etc but this time it is different because we are under the control of a man who couldn't give a damn about the Club. You have now got the near 2 million pieces of silver from the Hugill deal which I'm sure that you will put into your pocket and just sit back and allow us to continue to flounder into oblivion. I feel sorry in my heart for Neil Aspin because he must be ruing the day that he returned to the Club.

 

You promised to provide the financial support in January to ensure our safety and what a joke that promise was with only a handful of loans being brought in when I'm sure Aspin wanted experienced recruits. Frankly I consider you to be a total disgrace who should never have been able to hoodwink your way into our football club.

 

So well done you have forced me to turn my back on the Club that has been my passion for so many years. when you have left I will return regardless of which division that we find ourselves in but never while your name is on the door as it's owner and guess what unlike you I will keep my promise.

 

Great post, Old Sage. I'm in the owd codger category too with this season being my sixtieth since me owd dad took me to Vale Park as little 'un with me brother. What an anniversary with someone as disreputable as Smurthwaite in charge.

 

After today, I can't see us coming back though I hope I'm wrong. We must be the worst team in L2, that is what Smurthwaite has brought us to, and thanks to his generosity, Aspo has little or no options left. The players must all know how Aspo has been let down since he came, especially in the transfer window, and it's undermined him no end. They're not stupid and I fear their motivation after the winning run we had in December has all gone.

 

I'm a good few miles from Vale Park these days and have difficulty driving that distance after a back operation a while ago (and probably another to come this summer), so it's unlikely I can get over for any meeting but I just hope Vale fans can rise up again to see off another bad owner.

Feel your pain Old Sage, He needs to go - Thank you for the post

 

We came out early v Colchester missed the equaliser looked at my lad he shrugged his shoulders and carried on to the car , the next week we went to burnley v man city in the burnley singing crowd after half time he was joining in the songs with my mate and his lad (who are season ticket holders)singing at the man city fans and turned to me and said this is a lot better than watching the Morecombe game ...

Now we cant compete with a near full stadium and the premier league but you have to ask what do we get from PVFC for our blind faith especially when its owned by someone who its about him him him and the peasants will be fine with what they get on/off the pitch..

 

We are dying and judas with the emperor's new clothes expects us to kneel and bow with our divine thanks-

I took this stance before last season after being a fan for over 55 years.

 

After the disgusting way that ********** treated Page and all the playing staff and then bragging about it on national TV and newspapers I felt that I did not want to put another penny into this person's pocket. To me, by not giving him any of my money it was in my small way showing my contempt to the person who I thought brought our great club into disrepute and why the bad name we now have has been one of the reasons why we heard the stories of players not signing for us because of our owner.

 

I only go to away games now, which most people know has not been very fruitful over the last season and a half, but I still want to support my team if not the owner.

 

A little story from today. Before the game I was in Cheltenham's corporate facility having a meal before the game along with the match sponsors etc and also a table with Norman Smurthwaite, his wife, Tony Fradley and John Rudge (no Colin Garlick again, probably at Macclesfield Town). Anyway before the match there was a non playing player from the Cheltenham squad being interviewed followed by a question and answers routine. Our owner said to the player "Norman Smurthwaite the owner of Port Vale, can I ask you what do you do with your win bonus?" I thought it was a crass and embarrassing question to ask and has nothing to do with him. Incidentally the player replied that they have not been getting any win bonuses. They might not have done, but then they had not played us.

 

Please leave now, as Mike says I will be back when he has gone, whatever league we are in.

 

That is absolutely terrible and embarrassing , no wonder no one will sign for us -

 

thanks for the post rayzer I cant at the moment thank posts for whatever reason

We've already lost well over a thousand supporters over the last 18 months. We'll soon be back to 2500 for home games. It was a difficult decision for me personally last May when I renewed my season ticket. If new owners are in place (of the whole club including the stadium) then I'll renew again with a smile on my face. If NS has got any involvement with the ownership of the club or ground then I'm turning my back after 37 of my 42 years.

I've woken up this morning even more angry than I was yesterday. Get out of our club.
Ditto mate. Something has to be done. Those that shout loudest don't always end up being listened to. Bullies will get their recompense. People out of their depth and even admit it, will finally be ousted. What is required is a reasoned, non violent, non abusive ,constructed plan to gain the respect and belief of true Valiants to move forward. No gut , knee jerk reactions, just a steady organised operation to allow our great Club to move forward with hope.

Very passionate fan who i agree with totally .

Ive had enough meself i dont want sit in a near empty stadium with no atmosphere any more ,this is all Smurfs and the playing staffs doing .

Yesterday a new low ok i didnt go but to think only five weeks ago i thought after the Cov/Luton performances we were going do something special and finish at the least in the play offs .

What has happened since has sickened me and its the mirror image of last years after xmas showings which were pathetic .

I have no respect for sulkers but you can see a miserable group of supposed professionals on the pitch with very little desire to win games for the fans not Smurf for PVFC .

Who brought them to the club and weakened the team by letting Gavin Gunning go who was no world beater but had heart something which the depressing performance since havent .

I hope he sells up and goes and take the majority of the players with you.

A new beginning please for our supporters or i like Mike will be choosing something else do on saturdays something which doesnt involve terminal despair .
