Sjoke are coming!!!

[ollyandpatch]

Never known a club give up their home end. Not expecting my seat to be there when I next go.

[Arthur]

I will take my daughter who supports the Vale so you wont be missed!!!

 

You are really stupid.

[Smugsy]

I'd have a little more respect for Smurf if he admitted that he was opening up another stand to maximise the revenue from the game but no, he claims that it's because he has a duty of care to supporters. Which is a first because he hasn't cared about Vale fans for about three years now.

Vale have sold 300 for the Lorne Street.The only 2 areas now potentially

available are the Railway and Bycars.It looks like the Railway will be given to Sjoke.My gripe is we can’t charge them £50.Not allocating them this means they will get tickets for the Lorne Street.I’ll be amazed if the police haven’t had something to do with this.

[DaneValiant]

He's talking absolute ********. This would be an issue at every single cup game where a bigger team draws a smaller team. "Arsenal have sold out their allocation at Morecambe, if we don't do something they might buy home tickets. Aarrrrrrgghh let them have the entire stadium. It's our duty of care".

[paulvaliant]

Health and safety....or he wants to line his pockets a bit more?

It will be an utter f1.1cking disgrace if they get given the Railway.

The guy's an idiot or a dangerous one...does he realise what he will have to pay when the ground gets turned into a mess?

 

Billy Bell would never have allowed this...shame on the club it's a disgrace

[paulvaliant]

Doesn’t matter if you give Sjoke another stand because if any of their fans want to cause trouble they can just get a ticket for the home end anyway.

[ollyandpatch]

Total and utter greed. Safety my arse.! If we were going for promotion at Crewe would they give us the big stand? No. It could be Man Utd we are playing you give them 4000 and that's it. The Oatcake have called it right so far about the following and reckon they will now sell out the railway as well. Then what Norman? Oh and when I asked the supervisor in the ticket office at 5pm she said we had sold ''slightly over 1000" is somebody telling porkies?

[yoblet]

Don't think smurf will make too much on the game by the time he's repaired all the damage the sjoke fans do to HIS ground there won't be much left.

[philpvfc]

Are they only giving the Lorne Street to Vale fans?

[yoblet]

Ps..can we have a new hand dryer in the Lorne street toilets if there's any money left,it is a duty of care.

[SuperHuman]

This is turning into a shambles now isn’t it? There is no other reason why we would give them the paddock other than for financial gain. If we do end up giving them the paddock then I hope no Vale fan turns up.

 

Why on Earth is Smurf bowing down to Stoke? The pride of this football club is worth more than a few pound coins. We should have given them an allocation of 2000 and had done with it. Let’s just remind ourselves than we aren’t Leek Town.

 

I’m pretty sure even the most passionate Stoke fan wouldn’t acknowledge this as a proper derby. This is a million miles away from the blood and thunder derby games we all saw in the 90’s.

 

Overall this tie is everything I don’t want as a Port Vale fan and most of all, as a football fan.

[Howjy04]

Are they only giving the Lorne Street to Vale fans?

 

Bycars will be available if Lorne Street sells out,I’m led to believe.

[ollyandpatch]

We need to at least fill the Bycars. Stoke are now pleading with every living fan to attend. They will have close on 10k there at this rate. Normal will start to think of record gate receipts.
