Story that tells a thousand words

So this happened today....

My Dad's ashes are buried at the Bycars End and every year on the 5th November Mum goes up there with my brother and gives the plaque a little polish and takes a few flowers...she knew the Owd Man hated flowers! Anyrode, I've Skyped her tonight and she's told me she's been up VP and she was on about how nice and fresh it looked compared to the last couple of years...seats cleaned etc...it looked like it was well looked after. Then she says whilst she was there this lovely woman came up to her and started speaking to her . My Mum started saying how it changed since she used to come up when she stood on the Railway Terrace with me and my Dad. "It was a lovely chat Our Nick" , she says. "Then you'll never guess what? This lady asked if we wanted a cup of coffee before we left?"

I'm listening to this and thinking, "Hang on!" "Mum what did this lady look like?" So she describes her. and we leave the conversation with "Oh she was a lovely woman Our Nicholas!" I finish my conversation and send Our Kid a photo.....of Carol and says is this the woman who Mum was talking to today? Our Kid isn't a football fan but said yes that's her she was really nice.....does she work in the office! 😂😂 No, she only bloody owns the place was my reply!

How many FL club owners would engage like that? I don't know if Carol reads on here but Thank you so much for what you did today in such a caring and unassuming way.

Valiants we are SO LUCKY to have this family at the helm and I don't care if we play 433 442 or whatever,,,,,,we've got a club to be proud of now and it can only keep getting better with the Shanahans at the wheel.

Thank You Carol!

That’s a brilliant story . I honesty believe the club will move forward in the next few years because they honestly care about the club , it’s supporters and the community. We are lucky to have them and they are the honest genuine people who have no ego or agenda like the previous owners

Thanks CB for sharing that with us.

For anyone who already has not been appreciative of Carol and Kevin's input into our great club this story again shows what a truly decent ownership we are so very lucky to have .ought not be named!

It's clear that Carol did not approach CB's mum for any other reason than humanity and a desire to know why someone was at Vale Park to show respect to a loved one.

Every day almost cements in my mind that we have genuine, caring human beings in control at Vale and not only looking around the stadium and also "feeling" the good will around the place again, but hearing about little stories like this bring reality back to us after so many years of depression and doom. What a massive difference in personnel there is between Carol/Kevin and the one that ought not be named!

Hats off to Carol. Thank you so very, very much for instilling life and belief back into Port Vale FC.
