I hope we do them. They are a proper club and have always been very hospitable when I've been there. 

Blinkin Ink - you cant have gone the FA Cup match in the 70s then . Got off the Train and it was running battles all the way to the ground . We had a bit of respite during the match but the aggro resumed all the way to New Street after the match .

It's Called 'Walking Football' - Like Wot is played at Stoke Ground !   😃

My mate, went the walking football at the Vale and scored in his first game. Unfortunately he also "crashed" into a wall and ended up in A&E. I know, it's walking football, don't ask. The Vale injuries continue to pile up 😄

Initial reaction last night was what a disappointing draw that was and yet again we have no luck when it comes to drawing decent teams.  24 hours later, I am one of a very few that quite looking forward to it, first visit to Birmingham this century, I would imagine this will be priced sensibly, last night £15 for their game and would imagine the same against us.  They are getting some great gates, taking 7000 to Blackburn at the weekend and can see a gate over 17000.  I would like to think we would take 1500 to 2000.  I remember the visit to West Brom when we lost on penalties about 10 years us selling out, like to think we would take similar numbers as back then with a much better team and better feel to the club as we had then. 

 

I know people wanting us make 9/10 changes and feel we have no chance, for me I would like us go strong and give it a go.  Last year I could understand to an extent the weaker teams in cups as we had to go up, however for me feel we will be well clear of trouble but not good enough to challenge at the top.

I reckon we’ll take a lot more than that, assuming we get the allocations

Oi!! I play walking football with folks around my age on a Thursday, and an hour with a 40+ group on Tuesday. Most of them are in their 40s, and there's no walking!!

I’ve never done so much running in a day before and after a match.😂

Though we’ve not announced anything yet or put tickets on sale below is the prices that will be as per the Birmingham website. £15 could be worse, personally would have liked us see if could agree on it being a tenner try and encourage as many to go as possible.

Why not try for a £1 !  Those prices are fantastic. Nobody under 25 is paying more than a tenner, as are the oaps. Kids are a fiver. Bloody damn good prices them .

2003 initial allocation .

Those with 300 points can get theres tomoz from.13.00 

Prices are very good 

15 quid Adults and 5 quid kids 

Will not reach general sale i wouldnt have thought as 6 coaches already full and thats before tickets on sale 

Ye olde crown 3 and jaegar bus 3 ive read .

Should be a great way put Vale on map next tues v Mitrovic (hopefully he isnt signed before wed next week lol ).and big ambitious Brum .
