I can identify with every word of that post until you said you don’t enjoy being there for a Vale game.  Yeah that’s a tad weird 😂 I moved away for personal reasons to better my life & the only time I go back is to see family & watch Vale. Hate the surrounding areas but once I’m in that ground I’m home. Can’t wait get out & on my travels come 90mins mind 😂

When I'm back, I enjoy going to the Vale games but I hate come to Stoke on Trent and can not leave quick enough once the games ended

I read a few people on here having a little bit of a dig on here at Big D over the weekend or a bit of fun of how he talks.

Then you mentioning the lad that we signed yesterday just reminded me to say something about it

Couldn’t care how anyone talks to be honest mate. I love Tom Pope & we’ve all heard him speak 😂

They seek him here, they seek him there. Those policeman seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in hell? That damn illusive Sha-a-dow 🤣

That really does sum up the perception of Stoke on Trent

Yeah they could live in Tunstall and enjoy the nice littered alleyways. 

That's just for the plebs.

Potentially.

This may cause a little bit of controversy but I'm not a fan of Stoke on Trent or Staffordshire.

I left many years ago and never plan to move back.

I do not even enjoy visiting Stoke on Trent for a day or even a Vale game. That is me being totally weird though.

Different strokes, I've lived away for 40 years; apart from one 18 month period.  I love coming home and fully intend returning when I retire; or maybe semi retire. Love walking in the peak district and there is some fantastic cycling. Some amazing walks in South Cheshire and Shropshire.  As neither of my children show any desire to live in the UK I'll need to keep a second home overseas but I do miss Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle Under Lyme. Even love all the heritage walking through Burslem. I've loved the experience of everywhere I've worked and lived but I've also missed home every day.

You mean the Ray Walker we bought for 12k. When was the last time Vale bought a Premier loanee? when? 

They bought Ben Whitfield from Bournemouth after a loan spell in 2018.

He was released wasn't he before he joined us?

Is it just me or is anyone else irritated that they keep calling them season long loans when they are nothing of the sort. They belong to another team and if they don't like the way things are progressing or they want to place them elsewhere or they just want them back there is nothing we can do about it.

 

I'm not complaining about signing loan players it can be extremely useful to cover areas we are light or for injuries I just wish they would stop calling them season long loans. None of our so called "season long loans" were here for the entire season last time so just call it a loan and leave it at that.

 

Mini Rant over 😁

 

I think this lad seems a decent addition with potential but like most others I was surprised it was a winger we signed not a right back, especially since we have narrowed the pitch, but hopefully a right back is on the way.

Bournemouth offered him a contract but he turned it down and moved to Vale. Not sure of the technical details, perhaps they did release him to facilitate the move...
