I am like the overwhelming majority of Vale fans, let's say 99.9%, know what fabulous owners we have.  Carol and Kevin, have, and will in the future, make the odd mistake, who hasn't.  We all know that we are indeed blessed to be in their ownership.  Sadly, social media allows uninformed keyboard warriors to spout off at will and to make ridiculous statements.

There is no way of stopping them.  Carol, and the club, use social media to great effect.  My advice is to simply ignore the critical personalized comments.  Our wonderful owner could have a standard cut and paste reply along the lines of "Thank you for your observations.  If you would like to submit a fully costed business proposal in support of your recommendations I will be delighted to consider them".

Carol has to accept that she is now firmly in the public eye, and there will always be a few people who have a go at her.  It is human nature that people who are happy will not have much to say.  The silent, overwhelming majority, will always outweigh the vociferous, uninformed, malicious minority who hide behind a mask of anonymity.  Carol, remember that we are with you, please do not even respond to those people.  You have nothing to prove.  Carol rules, OK!

In respect of the quotes and statistics produced about being bottom league, sadly all those who have posed are incorrect.  Give or take the odd season we have been in the football league for 116 seasons.  We have spent 63% of our time outside of the bottom league.  Therefore we have spent 37% of our time in the bottom league. The bottom league is Div 2, Div 3S, Div 3N, Div 4 and all the variations of the fourth tier since then.  Interestingly, since the fourth tier was introduced in 1958 we have spent  36% of the seasons at that level.   

 

So whichever way you look at it, we have been bottom league for about one third of time in total.

For those seasons in Div 3 N and S, how many of them saw us finish in the bottom half of the league?  In 1952/53 for example, we finished second in Div 3 N which meant there were only 46 teams out of the 92 above us.  And to regard Division 2 in the 1920s as the bottom league does not give credence to what VFIA was saying.  You could just as easily count those seasons as being in the top 44 teams in the country.

Well you have almost asked a rhetorical question, the answer of how many saw that is almost nil.  You can twist it any way you like. The fact remains in our history for about one third of it we have been in the bottom league. Since tier 4 has been introduced we have been in it for about one third of the time.  So regardless of how you look at it, pretty much, about one third bottom league.  Seems quite a simple statistic to follow. Like all statistics there will be variations and fluctuations around the standard mean.  In the last 30 odd seasons we have not been at this level for one third of the time. I very much hope we soon will not be at that level

The responses though, were to Vale Fan in Alsager who claimed we had been in the bottom league for most of our history.  However you manipulate the stats, that is clearly codswallop.
