V2001 Charter

[For Us All]

Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of V2001 taking control of our football club.

I thought it would be appropriate to remind fellow Vale fans of the V2001 Charter.

Views and opinions please.

 

Valiant 2001 will:

 

1.Set aside a £1.5 million first-team budget Allocate £1.5 million in order to keep all key first team players at Port Vale and invest a further £750,000 in football development at every level.

2.Introduce supporter-friendly ticket pricing Pursue a major expansion of the fan base by offering attractive prices across the board.

3.Complete the Lorne Street stand Finish the Lorne Street stand by September, with supporters' facilities, a new club shop and new ticket and administration offices all under one roof.

4.Sort out the pitch Protect the pitch through next season by spending £50,000 on it in the short-term, with a £400,000 upgrading and under-soil heating in mid-2002.

5.Make savings of over £80,000 Free up at least £80,000 a year by putting the club's car-hire out to competitive tender and bringing the club shop into the new stand.

6.Make Port Vale a fan-friendly football club Meet the supporters regularly, paying due regard to their proposals and concerns, and being open about the club, on an ongoing basis.

7. Make Port Vale a community-friendly football club Give the club a genuine community focus and boost the club's image, involvement and impact as a supporter-based community club.

8.Run the club openly and democratically Give fans a voice in the running of the club, with shares offered to supporters at an affordable price and at least 2 supporter-directors on the board.

9.Improve the club's relations Build bridges with the City Council, the police, ethnic communities, local businesses and the local press and radio.

10.Be open, honest, professional and accountable Show integrity, be approachable and accessible to supporters and shareholders, and join with them in building a club to be proud of in every way.
