I have been told that it isn't life threatening or infectious. With care and careful treatment of the patient a marked improvement is possible. Don't expect a full recovery but it is possible that an appreciation of real football can be obtained. Some may not respond and insist that the Vale do play football, hopeless cases like this deserve sympathetic treatment and not derision. No one deserves to suffer in this way.

My brother is a die hard Vale fan who still goes to the odd away game although he is in his late 70s.He is 12 years older than me and he had intended to take me to watch the Vale when he finished his National Service in the late 50s. However my Dad who was a Stokie , but was to ill to take me himself , had got my Uncles to take me to Stoke, saying that one black sheep in the family was quite enough!. The rivalry between us became a family legend we even came to blows on one occasion ,my poor Mother dreaded it if one team won and the other lost .We had another relative who was once a director at the Vale, and in the first Potteries derby for years in the Vale programme (in which he wrote a regular column) he refers to the divided loyalties in our family.

If you have any vile in the family you can never admit to it or discuss it with anyone. You just have to live with it in silence. It must be hard for those affected.

I'm in a dilemma. I'm red and white through and my lad has been coming with me and supports Stoke. Trouble is, just my luck, his mates are all Liverpool fans and are always nagging him to buy a Liverpool kit. He will remain a Stokie but wants to be one of the crowd. I just can't bear seeing him in another teams strip. What do I do? If I say no he'll resent me if I say yes he'll possibly become a red. nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! On this subject my son said to me yesterday "dad why cant you buy a Stoke strip abroad" he loves football wears lots of foreign tops, his preferred team is Stoke but then said "doesn't anybody else like Stoke because you can get Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool tops" You can see why its easy to follow these teams and its also quite hard explaining why you support Stoke to children.

Must be blessed, as I cannot trace any Fail fans in our lineage, all are Stokies on both sides of the family, stretching back 3 generations.

Have a few family members that are Vale fans. This whole 'vale fans are scum' bollocks is the kind of retarded shite you'd hear on a playground. It appears that fans of both clubs have a few chromosomes missing.

My Brother is a Valey. I'd far rather that than him being a plastic Manc, Scally etc....
Dunna speak to him mind.

I can't think of any in the family, I'm delighted to say!
My builder is a huge Vale fan and used to enjoy scrawling PVFC on all the plasterwork so it would be there forever under the paint!
He gave up when I followed him around the house writing "Soap Dodging B*****ds" underneath.
I know its been discussed before but the older generation (older than me!) used to follow them both to some extent, albeit perhaps not with the same passion.
I suppose without the benefits of cheap and easy travel, if you enjoyed your Saturdays at the match, it was quite a good idea to go to alternate home games.
It never seemed to be a problem when they were constantly in the lower or lowest league and we were in the old first division, but that all seemed to change when we fell from grace and they went through a purple patch.
I, for one, will never forget their behaviour when they were above us, briefly, even though some more measured posters on here maintain that it was understandable.
As a consequence of which, If I won the lottery, I would buy them, sell their ground to Asda and rename the team Stoke Reserves.
I also often think of how much better Stoke City would be if the City had a single team.
Stoke on Trent is not big enough to support two sides and although their support is poor, to be fair to their fans they support their local team. If they didn't have the Vale, they would probably have supported Stoke and we would have all been much happier over the years!

No vile fans, but my cousin is a Crewe fan. Luckily, considering our decent record against them from a few years back, i dont get much lip from him, especially as he hates the vile even more than i do.

It appears that fans of both clubs have a few chromosomes missing. But they only have a few fans , to be honest I have never had the privilege of meeting a decent Fail fan and I was born in Stoke-on-Trent and lived hear all my life, I must have missed the ones that are not scummy feckers who are so bitter and unbalanced about Stoke it blights their pathetic deluded existence.

Boss is a vale fan but to be honest he knows they are shit and in trouble so kind of boring winding him up when they have lost and he doesn't bother when stoke have lost. Probably one of the only vale fans who doesn't like to get on at stoke fans.
