Vale Away Followings (league 2)

[George]

Who said it was £40-£50? It was £18, to watch League 2 football! Your lot are in the premier league and you still find excuses not to go. You lot really are pathetic.

 

They're still working class people from the same city though. Just because they're in the Premier league doesn't mean they all of a sudden have more disposable income than us.

 

We can knock stoke about a lot of things. One thing we can't is their support, which had always been vastly superior to ours.

[Arthur]

Whoooooosh.......

 

Good come back....If your struggling for cash, you can come clean my car for a fiver, you pikey. 10 of them and you can go an away game.

[Yukon]

I wonder how many Stoke will take to Brentford next year?

Give Werrington a break guys....he's probably not used to seeing positive comments on a fans forum

No, **** him! He come's on here patronising Vale and expects every to just accept what he says as gospel.

2,000 equates to between 35 and 40% of our home support. How many other clubs can match this?

So, why is he on here talking down about our support, if were all working class and from the same city?

You could've avoided this though if you didn't reply to the OP like a tool. Credit where credit's due instead perhaps?

I suppose they could drop a couple of divisions if that would help their cause.

Vale's fanbase is smaller, mostly covering about 10 square miles of a city with 40-odd square miles. Social-class wise, it's about the same.

However, there are mixed areas (say parts of Hanley, Kidsgrove, parts of Newcastle,etc) and quite a lot of people choose a club, anyway, for non-football reasons.

Vale's support, then, is good away from home because of this season's successes, as you say, Werrington; but it's usually pretty good anyway since, to support the smaller club in a given area, you've gt to be pretty devoted.

At both grounds, though, and at all football grounds, the low-paid are far less well represented than a generation ago, since the prices are so high.
