After moving from the Bycars to the Hamil and attending the Reading game, I’ve just swapped my st. for the Railway.

Didn’t know you could do that. Correct thing to do as season jumping up and down trying to see may put some off permanently. Think you will be the first of many to move.

Apparently the club is on record as saying if you’ve moved to the Hamil and found you don’t like it, you can swap your season ticket for any other part of the ground at no cost.

From choosing a new seat in the Railway and printing a new season ticket card took less than 5 minutes while I waited.

Just watched Simpson’s interview who I’ve always rated as a decent lower league manager. Bizarre really and a little cringeworthy. I get being frustrated and candid, but sense maybe there is something more going on with Melish who I always thought he was one of their better players?? Makes me glad we got AC’s “passive” response to Barnsley if I’m honest.

We’re playing some decent stuff, and how I’d love us to dish out a footballing lesson tomorrow night. I really hope the Hamil is packed out because, as we’ve seen in the past and usually to our detriment, the acoustics are great when everyone’s up for it.

I know of several people who have already been put off so that they no longer attend games. I guess the club doesn't need their ST money. One positive of the move is we now get to meet more away supporters and I feel much safer leaving the ground via Bycars lane now there is a Police presence there.

The railway is now as I call it the old man’s stand

They don't have to stop attending.  All they need to do is the same as Conrad and swap there ST to elsewhere in the ground

Was in on Saturday. Still a lot of young people and families. Suspect a lot of people want to stay away from the drinkers. Includes myself. Go to drink after the match in the Bulls.

Moving into the Hamil is the best thing the club has done for years. The set up in there is like being  at a proper modern stadium.  I love my new seat and at 60 I hope to see my Vale days out in there....VTID

Interesting you say that, myself and my son walk down the side of the dimension pitches and onto the car park where away fans also walk, felt a little uncomfortable doing so on Saturday as we were surrounded by away fans. Could be even worse if we beat a big team with a lot of fans who don't take kindly to losing.. Anyone else take this route away from the ground  & how do they feel ?

It's their money and they can do with it as they wish but I will never understand a 'supporter' not attending to watch the club they allegedly love because they can't sit on their chosen worn piece of plastic in an end that is infinitely worse in terms of facilities than the end that it's been swapped for. Weird

I do. Not an issue for me, and for the bigger games (such as the Swindon match) the police blocked off exiting that way, so just walked across the top end instead

We park on Federation Road by the tip. Saw quite a few Carlisle on Saturday after the game no worries. As you say something like Bolton might be a different scenario particularly depending on the result. But I'm more than happy still parking where I do.

I am trying to put my point across without being aggressive or insulting people who have different views to my own.
