He doesn't just "follow the Vale" though, he sits outside the training ground, spots someone who might be bringing out a spare pair of boots and thinks its a new signing.

Then he goes on social media, talks an absolute load of <ovf censored>, people believe him (because they're just as gullible), then have a go at the club because they haven't signed whoever this week's lunatic rumour is.

Then he goes on other club's accounts and League Two banter pages waffling on about how Port Vale, are the best team in the country and well win the league by 50 points etc.

I know there are stories about how he tried to follow players into the dressing room after training so he could take photos of triallusts and stick them online. 

I'm not saying anymore because its off topic, but the bloke is quite clearly crackers, and needs to wind his neck in.

Takes one to know one. Is he really doing any harm?

He isn't. But Granville has a real bee in his bonnet about it. He was banging on about the exact same thing last summer

Well the club are clearly cheesed off enough about training being in plain sight that they’ve lashed out on a big fence to screen the whole area off.  Whether that’s solely down to this Gareth character and his like, broadcasting player and team news every day, is open to debate, but they won’t like it.  Why would they?  I tend to side with Granville, it’s just some clown doing it for a few likes and a bit of praise on social media.  So not harmful as such but totally unnecessary.

The geezer can do what he wants how is it unnecessary. Who are you to tell someone what they do with their day is unnecessary. Could be extremely necessary to the blokes health he clearly loves the vale. We all sit on here all day looking to see if anyone has any rumours or inside knowledge to who we might be signing. Debating what formation we might play who might be fit for the weekend games. And we all post stuff weve heard regardless of if it is true or not. 
 

hes doing no harm. And if you think gareth doing his tweets is providing key data to opposing teams preparing to play us then fair enough but i would hazard a guess he wasnt chief scout for the other 23 teams in the league last season. Youd get more idea from reading OVF and that doesnt stop any of us posting.

It is a "Rumours " thread,  whether you use a pinch of salt or a bag of salt depends on your opinion of previous posts. 

People on here seem to take credit a rumour more if it’s found on other social media platforms 

Honestly some people on here really need to chill out your taking this Gareth thing far to seriously, he's just a lad doing what he enjoys and I for one am all for it, in the close season i love a good rumour that's what keeps things ticking along until the start of the season.

What I will say is the rumours that are coming out are not pie in the sky they are achievable targets now they wouldn't have being under the previous 2 owners.

People putting rumours on here being a rumours thread is harmless people putting them on twitter again harmless it's a platform to do just that with 90 percent of other fans and there clubs I don't no Gareth nor have I ever met him but keep it up fella if it makes you happy you just do you don't let the moaning bar stewards stop you from enjoying what you do mate.

Struggling to find any rumours on social media platforms… sooooo boring.

Set up a choir.

A quote from Sproson in the Valiant saying Blackpool paid £470,000 for Gabriel. 

Also discusses how the myth that somehow League 1 is less physical than League 2 is absolute nonsense.

Sproson says he thinks we are after 2 CB's a midfielder and a pacey experienced striker who can get in behind teams,sounds about right to me unless somebody leaves of course

Then maybe top up with a couple of loans and chancers

Bit like Andorra v England, more tippy tappy, so probably is less 🙂 hope we get physical. Song there somewhere, but different thread 🙂 

Could not resist 🙂

Not found anything.

I wonder how talks are going with those offered new deals at Sheff Wed considering they haven't been paid as yet,you would think those players will be exploring other options.
