Smurf on the cost of repair.

[philmpv]

Do we not have insurance then?

 

That route would make the most logical sense, and then the insurers can decide whether to pursue Stoke for the outlay. That said, I think Norman would object to even paying the excess, and losing his no claims ;-)

[melv]

Smurthwaite reminds me of one of those blokes who sues for compensation when his family stay in a rat infested hell hole in Bulgaria, and when they get asked on Watchdog how much the holiday cost they say "£7.5k. Our life savings"

 

 

Arrogance and ignorance point proven.

I guess Norman will have insurance. It's his ground after all.

 

Would claiming on that insurance not put the premium up?

You'll have to let me know which part of that attempt at a lighthearted joke was arrogant and which part was ignorant melv sorry?

[Hagrid]

Regardless of Norm/insurance, Coates should have been straight in his deep pockets Wednesday morning, apologising for his scumbag fans and funding the cost of a refurb of the away end.

 

Instead, its radio silence from the club, both in the press and to Norm, as Denise swindles away with a £260m salary.

 

I know rivalries often cloud judgement, but Stoke City are a scumbag club, supported by scumbag fans, owned by scumbag owners, who for large portions of the last decade employed scumbag footballers.

 

I'm delighted they're become internationally embarrassed and managed to heavily lose a win-win game. Pay up lads.

Was just about to say the same until I read Hagrid's comment. I'm sure they will try & hang on to that ridiculous amount made from people's gambling addictions, rather than use it to help put right an issue in the community caused by their own fanbase.

Be lucky if Cheltenham will bring 200, so why would we need to call the game off? Or did Stoke smash all the toilets up in the Hamil?

[valeparklife]

Are Nuneaton at home on that day?

 

Could be a spare stadium knocking about!

[beasty77]

If an issue why not see if Cheltenham will host the fixture and we play the reverse game at home instead?

 

Oh nooo. Im going Morecambe, Macclesfield and Lincoln in the next 3 weeks, so i don't think my finances can fit in another away game now. lol

[yoblet]

You can get portacabin toilets with washing facilities at a last resort before calling a game off..

Im sure i went an away game once and they had portacabins. But i cant remember where it was. Unless i dreamt it.

£75,000:laugh:

 

You can build a house for less than that.

 

Maybe he got quotes from the same bloke who sold him Chris Mbamba, Carols Saleiros and Calvin Macintosh.

I think t was Loo-ton.

[Beza]

Have Stoke City actually apologised to Port Vale for the actions of these mindless thugs that caused all this carnage??

I'm sure our good neighbours would offer their ground if we ever needed

 

I'm sure it would go without hitch especially if they let us use the boothen end-- plus we don't have a fixation on toilet cubicles .

 

 

Also hope this saga shows our esteemed owner what it means locally to both sets of fans but more importantly what supporting vale is about
