Ale and the Vale Podcast


stupers

Recommended Posts

Here's the Cheltenham review! After some iFollow problems we all managed to watch the game. Ok first half followed by a great performance in the 2nd. Did we deserve all 3 points? Stu, Jonny, Bezza see plenty of positives in this one and maybe an unforced change for Saturday from the subs bench! Plus the winner of the picture competition is drawn!

We are interviewing Adam Yates tomorrow! Is there anything that anyone would like asking? We'll do our best!

I've got one. Yates was often slagged off because he was not much good in the air. How important is it for a FB to be good in the air? Not a criticism at all, genuine question.

Did he get that much stick? I can't remember personally but it could be the case, I am a daft man after all.

Tell him he's a top bloke from Rory.

Yeah he did. He really did.  For his last few seasons it was relentless.  I always thought he was decent. But got pelters on here and in the ground.

How far does he think our local players (Conlon, gibbo and Smith) can go in the game?

 

Does he think that local players are given more of a rough ride by fans when compared to players bought in from outside?

 

Does he think the modern day role of a full back is different  in any way to when he came through? 
 

Is it difficult to be critical of players during a commentary when he is still around the club?

Another one.....

You know what roles players are expected to do in a game, you know what goes on behind the scenes with game preparation and what is expected of a player (both with and without the ball). So when you’re sitting next to a fellow commentator and they come out with some utter drivel, is it hard to suppress the urge to put them right and tell them why a player has just done what they did or indeed what you think the player should have done?

Southend preview is up!

 

We go through the weeks news, iFollow, Carol's Radio 4 appearance and the desire to let #LetFansIn. Also an update on the Cardboard Fans Cutout and whether we are nearing a fully fit squad again.

 

Then into a Southend preview. They've not started well, but could this be a banana skin for Vale? We all would start a different striker on Saturday? And which is the best pizza chain?!

Feed the Pope!!!! Bezza's back from the pub and has had enough to sing along with the theme. Differing opinions on how good we were in the 1st half, but unanimous on the 2nd! A surprise pick for MoM from one of us, but basically a pretty happy pod this weekend! Enjoy!

Part 1 of our Adam Yates interview is out now! In the first part we talk about his youth career and how he made it to the professional ranks, before hearing how he got to Port Vale. Then we get in to what it was like working for Mickey Adams, Jim Gannon, we go in-depth on the promotion season and why Vale were so successful that season, before getting the lowdown on what really happened between Lofty and Dan Jones. 

 

What I will say is that Yatesy basically gave up his Friday night to talk to us three for over 2 hours! I know times are tough, but if you've got a few quid spare and want to help his work with the Foundation, there's the cardboard cutout initiative Super Vale Abroad are running or other ways to help. I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

Really enjoyed that. You let him do most of the talking and the stories all flowed together nicely. Interesting where he discussed the academy and mentioned wanting to get in coaches who had played and knew what it takes to win games off football. That’s a wise move IMO.

Back for a Friday preview of the Kings Lynn game! Before that, we discuss if Stu's face is worthy of a marketing campaign, give our thoughts on Adam Yates part 1 and quickly chat football league bailouts. Then we have a quick look at L2 after 10 games, are we doing well and which teams are a surprise and which teams are having a shocker. Then into Kings Lynn and a match preview!

And we're also back with part 2 of the Adam Yates interview. In this part, we talk about how he felt when he lost the number 2 shirt to Ben Purkiss and how how he held on to the starting spot, his relationship with Norm over the years, being a target of the boo boys and what he's up to now he's finished playing. 

 

I can't emphasise enough how much of a top guy he was, and we all thoroughly enjoyed talking to him. If you can afford, and you'd like to support the foundation, check out the SVA cardboard cutout initiative and get your cutout in the ground (https://portvale.fansatthegame.co.uk/).
