Sentinel Port Vale News to be a subscription / Baggers

[andy jones]

The content of The Valiant is far better and in depth than anything The Sentinel print for Stoke.

The Valiant gets better and better.

It must sound like I'm on the payroll, or a mate of Baggers - I'm not. I just think we should support quality coverage of local football teams.

It's truly found its rhythm and voice. An excellent balance of match reports, pre-match buildup, and insight only afforded to a reporter with great relationships with the club - tonight's 'around the ground' tour detailing the work going on at Vale Park is great.

Genuinely the best coverage we've ever had as a club. It's light years ahead of what the Sentinel provide for Stoke and not on the most advert-ridden website possible. Clean and efficient to read.

Seriously cannot recommend it enough. Its an absolute bargain and I'll 100% renewing when the time comes.

2 million on the ground on the last 2 years 😳

I agree it’s very good

A paid subscription to the Valiant is the best Christmas present anyone could buy for any Vale fan. IMHO.

All the comments about value not withstanding, I really don't see why we should be asked to pay a subscription for club news - about a local team - from a local paper.

All the best to MB but I refuse to pay for something that should be offered by the Sentinel already. Absolutely crazy, and I won't give them anything for what they should be delivering already.

I quite agree with that, 100%.

They are excellent in their detail and length. Since the beginning, Baggers has asked a lot of probing questions no one else has. Highly recommend it if no one has pulled the trigger yet.

Second that. The ‘around the ground’ article was a great insight. If you are curious to know ‘When are we finishing the Lorne Street?’ ‘Why can’t we do it now?’ ‘What else has been spent on the ground’ then I recommend you sign up and take a read.

It's superb. Well written, insightful and gives an excellent overview of all sorts happening with the club. For £10 for the year It's an absolute steal. Whatever you think the rights and wrongs of it are, you'd never get that much coverage and insight in a local paper. I'd advise anyone to sign up for it.

Just a quick note to say,,,

You may recall I had a feed of the latest Sentinel stories in here (when the club was being covered). Obviously, that stopped because there are now no stories being produced. 

However, I've added a feed to the forum which will pull in the latest edition of Mike's newsletter. You'll still need to be registered to read the whole edition but hopefully it

a) promotes the excellent newsletter a little more and

b) keeps you all informed when a new edition drops.

The latest post is here - https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/60842-the-valiant-newsletter-port-vale-outclassed-by-middlesbrough-in-front-of-biggest-crowd-for-a-decade/?do=getNewComment

Future ones will appear in the "Other Port Vale News" forum.
