About Vale Park stadium

The stadium, situated in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent has been Port Vale’s home ground since it opened in 1950.

Originally designed to be the “Wembley of the North” a lack of finances meant the original plans were never completed. Nevertheless, a club record attendance of 49,768 was recorded for a game against Aston Villa in 1960.

In the late 1980’s and 1990’s a number of stands were redeveloped as the ground was converted into an all-seater stadium. Work began on the Lorne Street stand in 1998 and has yet to be completed.

Modern capacity of the stadium is around 19,000.
