If my memory serves me right last time I went Northampton you can buy tickets from a booth just outside away end .

We lost I think John Mccombe got sent off or he broke someone's leg anyway on first visit to six fields Richard's and Rigg scored and qe won 2-0 about 250 of us there 

Enjoy we ain't conceded a away goal in 180 minutes and let's face it we seem like a different team in last 2 .

If Lincoln who as ordinary as ordinary can string together the run they have then Vale who are overall a much better side than them CAN (in my opinion).

I know the league table says different but if we stay up we will be above them next season along with many others.

For years I ain't seen a committed performance from ALL like Fri it took me back to the when Aspin played days where every player who donned the black and white put the pride in the shirt.

Fri did SAME Again .

Just been to purchase one and that kiosk outside the away end is still there for anyone paying on the day.

Fourth time coming here. Best one was the first time under Askey when we beat them 2-1 with 10 men. Was a David Worrall masterclass that day and think Pope hit his 100th Vale goal to win it. Similar result minus the red card will do me just fine.

I could be talking a load of cobblers🤔 but

I reckon The Vale will edge this game 3-1 😉

MCcoombe broke Alex Nicholls leg in two places in that 2 0 win, I remember the photos in the papers. It looked horrific. He did recover though and i think he played a stint for Crewe.

Christ, out of the frying pan and into the fire

If you were thinking of parking on that patch of ground near the away end, be aware that someone has built a building on it... There is a car park for the reservoir at the bottom of the lane but it is a bit further away.

A couple of weeks we were dead and buried.

The Burton game gave me hope.

The Bristol Rovers game gave me belief.

If we win today, I’ll have expectation!

Football, I blinkin’ love / hate (delete where appropriate at 4:45) it!

No, because matey on the turnstile used to go home with pockets a few hundred quid heavier 🤣

Not me. Have been known to put a £1 in out of my own pocket to make the tally right.😌

Fair enough lineup, what I expected. Come on Vale!!!

[darren1810]

As expected Wilson not in the squad.

As good a team as we can name.

Come on lads. Same effort please 🙏.

Walters that good he has 2 places on the bench.

At least we can’t sing ‘there’s only one Rhys Walters’

Guess one is Massey?

Team makes sense. I think we will keep it tight and then Uche will come on and cause havoc. 1-0 vale towards the end 

[chickensteve]

Yes, used to go straight to the turnstile and pay. You can't now can you. 

That was when it was £1 for me as a teenager! Happy days!
