Yes in there this morning too PA. Next to a Grant shirt on the wall. I think someone needs to have a word with Marketing. I was in at 10 am and there were 4 staff handling season tickets. There were 6 people in the queue ahead of me and about the same behind me when I left.

MITP, that’s correct. As well as ST’s fans were buying the new tops. I wonder if it would have been a good idea to have had extra staff to put our recent signings names on the back of shirts. There’s more likelihood of a fan having a players name put on the shirt when they purchase it than any other time. After all the EB, ST is coming to an end, yesterday was probably pay day for lots of ppl so this will be the busiest time for shop sales and the sun was shining.

We all hope the signings work well and gel quite quickly. But the friendlies will give some indication of how and what DM will operate with. 

But, as in many other early parts of the season, sometimes it takes time. 

Don't expect too soon. 

And u defo don’t get invited upstairs

Over the past 18 months or so, I've found myself in a very confusing mindset. After losing an extremely close family member, my whole outlook changed. I am still struggling to this day to come to terms with the loss. It knocked me for six.

I used to be extremely engaged in regards to Vale. Whether it be management, ownership, players or fellow supporters. I'd always voice my opinion in club matters. I'd attend every game, home or away, league or cup. 

Vale was almost a comfort blanket for me. It got me away from my mental health issues and gave me a release for a few hours on a Tuesday or a Saturday. 

However, after the plethora of poor decisions continuously made by the management and ownership, as well as some of the attitudes and lack of effort from the players, I started to lose interest, and rapidly. I suddenly started to miss games. I rarely even showed any emotion when the opposition would score. I wouldn't get angry when we made mistakes. It was almost as if I had genuinely fallen out of love with everything.

All throughout the post season, I've maintained my.stance that I wouldn't be renewing mine and my son's Season Tickets. I'd had enough. The social.anxiety battle I'd face even going.to games was tough in itself and I wasn't prepared to put myself through that any further. I'd go elsewhere on Saturday's and take in some non league football.

However, over the past month or so I've kept a close eye on proceedings at PVFC. Will Carol follow through with her promise to put things right. Will Darren Moore get properly backed to build a decent squad? Will we rectify the mistakes of the previous three transfer windows? 

The answer rhus far is a resounding yes. I've got a little bit of belief back. That little spark has slowly started to rise to the surface. It's so refreshing to see us actually recruiting quality in key positions and having a plan going forward.

So, today, I swallowed my pride, and plucked up the courage to make my way down to the club store with my son, and we renewed our Season Tickets for the upcoming campaign. I still think we've got a few more bits and pieces to tie up the squad, but I'm feeling a lot more optimistic.

Thank you to everyone at the club for winning me round. I pray I've made the correct decision. I want to enjoy going to Vale Park again. Now just to shake off the social anxiety worries (especially with away games) and try to enjoy my Tuesday nights and Saturday afternoons once again.

Roll on August. UTV.

Hope you get the buzz back and sorry for your loss .

I agree with all your post I felt the same a total disconnect with the club ,still do a bit ,but I've bought a season ticket,the new home top and some shorts , whether I go depends on what I see ,iI

f I like what I see great if not ill be first tell everyone what I think and give my season ticket to another in family who otherwise probably wouldn't go .

I hope there's a massive difference in attitude this coming season .

I felt we went down with a whimper ,no characters in the team so when I say I want majority moved on or benched and only used as last resort I mean it .

Up to them now hopefully the new lads,with bring out those who Moore will use out of last seasons whatever it was meant be ,but hopefully they  will bring joy  to folk who suffer with mental health,and all folk who hold Vale dearly at heart.

 If ever need chat about anything yes we support the same team but life not just about football inbox and take damn good care of yourself and UTV .

I doubt it Osh, it hasn't been for 2 or 3 years now. 

There has been the membership scheme to replace it where by you pay £15 and get £4 per game off the match day price. I assume that this will operate again this season. 

Maybe the Mighten shirt is one he has worn which is for sale. Or is it one of the new ones?

At least if it’s one he’s worn it won’t be dirty..

Sums up my feelings to a tee! I was not going to renew but the commitment shown by the club to right the wrongs of the last season ! I decided to renew! It’s not the losing that hurt it was in many cases the manner. Anyway let’s hope for a better season and more commitment and passion. UTV

If that Mighten shirt is reduced to a couple of quid to get rid I'm interested. 

My cats could do with a new lining for their baskets. 

 

They always used to donate match worn shirts to the shop for the volunteers or the foundation to raise funds. 

A signing may boost sales .

It makes sense get the early bird season ticket as it's done then at 14.56 agame for adults .

On what I've being hearing think we up and  over 5000 now which is tremendous .

If folk did a share one with m8 that's only 167.50 each and you guaranteed one of you 12 and the other 11 games a season .

For the other one missing the person getting the 12 league games can pay for other person for F.A cup game etc etc etc

Santa, it’s brand new. I just don’t see opportunity or any economic gain from having it on display. The wall space is a good way of product placement. So new signings would be more financially rewarding.
