Match Thread: Port Vale v Portsmouth

[hillmanhunter]

Anyone remember the 4-0 at their place in the 90s. The ref had this weird habit of blowing his whistle extra long throughout their game. He blew for a free-kick with about 5 minutes to go and their 'keeper (Alan Knight?) thought it was for full time and sauntered off. Oh the stick he got when he sheepishly made his way back. 

Happy days.

Anyone know why I paid online 20 quid v Fleetwood and 24 v Portsmouth 

Is that for your match ticket .
Have you got a membership card if have click on promotional packages .
Then it will still say 24 pounds until you pay then it should knock four off
If not there's been a error.
If not got a membership card it will be 24 .
Hope you get it sorted.

What was the catalyst that triggered a Vale fan to attack Peter Mellor the Pompey goalie back in the day? 

Have vague recollection it was a night match. 

Very strange incident.

I can remember this around about 1977/78, Mellor bought a Vale player down in the box which resulted in a penalty to Vale which Mellor then saved, seconds later a fan climbed over the Bycars wall ran onto the pitch then punched Mellor who then got the fan in a headlock !

Was that 4-2 game?

I think Aspo scored a 20 yarder in the return match.

Sure Beckford scored (maybe 2) that day at Fratton Park.

[Santa]

I think he got a (last minute?) winner in the home game after we were either 2-0 or 2-1 down.

Too much pre match BASS in the park inn.

Jessie Marsh is sooo pumped up, and his Leeds team are the same.
DC and Vale?

I'm sure Breadwinner will have something to say about that 😃

Yes, Mellor was giving the Bycars some back after the incident, and winding them up. Those were the days when players got involved with the crowd a bit more, and there was plenty of back and forth going on, especially when Mellor was taking goal kicks and had to get the ball back from the crowd.  

I think it was a lad called Ian Humphries who ran on and had a go at him.  (If you are on here Ian, and it wasn't you, many apologies!), my memory isn't what it was.  Might have mentioned before that at a game not long after in the programme crossword, there was a clue that was "He's good over fences and causes offences".  The answer was supposed to be Harvey Smith, the show jumper who used the v sign on the odd occasion, but a lot of Vale fans wrote down Ian's name instead as their answer!  

These days of course, that would give the club a real headache after the events of the Swindle game.
