Carol statement

Seems the case for the partial public funding of the campus has been approved. News from Port Vale?

See it on the Stoke on Trent live that a 'further' 20 million of Levelling up funding has been allocated

Amongst refurbishment of the old Burslem buildings, the campus was mentioned but doesn't go into specifics.

You appear to conveniently forget recent history. When the club was owned/run by Bratt/Deakin and Co and then Smurthwaite I can't remember any wealthy people with a genuine interest in and desire to own PVFC clamoring to buy the club, just the opposite in fact, so what makes you think anything has changed.

I remember a plastic turf man from mid west USA, a pie in the sky rumor that a hedge fund from Boston, USA was interested, a mystery man with a bag of cash who paid for a pre-season trip and quickly buggered off. Fans knew all about these prospective purchasers and more, there are likely no Shanahan equivalents lying low waiting to pounce or the fans would know.

My first game at Vale Park was Port Vale 2 QPR 3 in the early 60's, PVFC is in my blood, I'm from Kickrew, I love oatcakes and Stoke-on-Trent but if I ever came into a large amount of money I wouldn't want to own the Vale, I'd gift the club money and let Carol run it. Who would put their family in the firing line and be on the receiving end of bilge the moment something adverse happened.

Always said similar myself. Should I win a huge amount of money would have a box in the main stand for thirty years and pay up front. ( Even though am likely to see it through unless I live to 105😃!!.

It would be nice. 

If I had the wealth of RW I would throw Two million into the club as a donation for players. 

Ah well.
