I won't be going again till he's gone. Four lads saying the same at work. And yes we all do attend games.

I think we will scrape through tonight and beat Wigan on Saturday so probably won't see you at the Vale until at least February...

Mate we can still support the club and accept we have been crap - it's not mutually exclusive 👍

As for the poor ticket sales we're only a small community club when all said and done,the day's of getting 10,000 plus are well and truly over !!

When did the days of us getting over 10,000 at this stage of the cup actually start?

Stafford Rangers game ! 

When the cup actually seemed to be the main attraction of the season.

I don't think anyone says you can't - but "crap" is too broad a brush. I really enjoyed the Reading and Bolton games, the Crewe and Mansfield games in the Cup were entertaining for different reasons (one for the penalty drama, one for the performance), we were good value at Burton in the FA Cup and by all accounts we were deserving of more at Portsmouth. I'm sure the fans who saw us win at Charlton, Oxford and Exeter enjoyed the victories.

There's more Vale fans in Kidgrove and Biddulph than Burslem!

The proper cups should be now! I don't understand fans mentalities these days. I'm sure people will be clamouring for tickets if we draw a big boy in the FA Cup 4th round or sneak through to the semis of the League cup.

But isn't the element of surprise and the unexpected what keeps us going to matches? If we all knew what was going to happen we could lump on at the bookies. 

Of course but I don't begrudge people not going because they are unhappy with the standard of entertainment that's all. I hate the notion that you are not a proper fan unless you've sat in the open end at Gillingham.

I know that win on Saturday should give him another 2 months. Fans are voting with their feet.

[rob1983]

To be fair I think if you don’t have a season ticket and have to pay 20 something pound to watch drivel then I do understand it. Not what I will do but I do get it 

I agree but not turning up purely because of Crosby doesn’t make sense. Ok, you could argue it is because the football is crap, but then I’d probably not have seen us since September otherwise! 

It's Crosbys style of play that's the problem.

[rob1983]

Thank Christ!

Fan's not attending games and losing interest is a good thing.?

Big up the Newchapel crew
