The thing about Vale is, when I was a silly teenager and they were pushing for the League 1 playoffs whilst we were in The Championship, I desperately craved for them to get promotion so that the attention would be focused on our great city. In the time since those days, they were at one point a lowly League 2 side whilst we've become an established top-flight club and a globally recognisable symbol for our city. That foolish, childish fantasy has long been replaced by cold, hard logic. The only way we could realistically play a league match against port vale again is if we get relegated at least once, and most likely twice. This city is the smallest in England to host two professional clubs. This leads to an unfortunate pendulum effect in that the relative success of each club is uniquely connected to the regression of the other. The conurbation is simply too small for both clubs to receive adequate simultaneous support. For one to succeed the other must suffer. It's very harry potter-esque but it's an unavoidable reality. This won't sit easy with many on here and I am sorry for that because I'm not one who takes pride in causing unease, but more importantly I'm not somebody who is prepared to turn away from the truth no matter how much discomfort it causes. I'm fully aware that there are Port Vale supporters who love their club unconditionally just as we love ours, and I know that if Stoke City was to cease to exist then a huge part of myself would be plunged into the same pit of oblivion, never to see the light of existence again. It's a dark realisation in me, but the only conclusion I can now draw is that Port Vale must die, and they must die soon. The limit of my compassion stretches only far enough to hope that their death comes abruptly. For too long now they have flailed against the fading embers, somehow miraculously finding just enough heat to keep their sad story burning for a few more years. It's horrendous and disturbing viewing to watch them suffer against the tsunami of inevitability. They must die. I don't know why but I found the last few sentences quite hilarious A genuine LOL moment! Brilliant post! aha!

I as a Brazilian fan of Port Vale and other supporters of Port Vale in Brazil, wanted very much to see the club in the second division, even though I think it would be downgraded, it would be good for Stoke have a nearest rival, would not let Stoke City staying on being the best in town, I see the two clubs playing one day.

4 pages and some call them obsessed with us. I find the chip some of our supporters have on their shoulders about them properly small time.
I thought they'd dump straight out of league 1 so the fact they are floating around the play offs is crazy. Fair play.
Please don't bother replying to this if your knuckles primarily drag along the floor.

My knuckles are at keyboard level mrred and I at least engaged the grey matter before I replied. Not a chip they are eaten best with salt and vinegar but just a telling dose of reality. All the challenged ones that go ( when they can be arsed) to that vast open semi deserted half finished wasteland would like nothing more than for us to come one hell of a cropper so they could try to claim superiority in their own deluded little world again. I won't go as far as to invite you to join them but merely to remember when them unwashed clowns thought they were the Potteries Number 1 team. Now if you find that hard to comprehend than you may as well go and join them

The difference is we have paid it back tenfold with rent payments and our PL existence. Wow...I didn't realise we paid them back tenfold, obviously the BBC were lying then when they said that there was an investigation as to why we paid them back over 5 years with no interest, which should have been an extra £200,000 , but I'm sure you are right, as you do strike me as the sort of chap who would never let the truth get in the way of a good story... I can't be arsed going through the facts and figures again. I have had to explain it too many times to Vale fans too stupid to understand the benefits both tangible and associated the council got from the stadium company without running it all through again to a Stoke supporter playing the role of Vale apologist. Why is it that those who have moved away are the people who most readily forget how vile the unwashed are at the smallest sniff of having one over us and how they live in the hope of seeing us fail?

I used to have a chip on my shoulder about Port Vale.
But then one day in a kebab shop Robin Van Der Laan punched me in the face and ate it.

I very much doubt Stoke would benefit very much at all if Vale did not exist, they are basically down to their 3-4,000 hard core fans who by enlarge are dyed in the wool Vale fans, if Vale ceased to exist they would find something else to do on a Saturday afternoon.Put it this way ,if the shoe was on the other foot,would you go to the Vale, I know I certainly wouldn't.

We only had 10,000 at times in the third tier. There are at least 15,000 Vale fans who would turn up if they made the Prem. These are fans who would be trying to come to the Brit now. The case for expansion to 35,000 would be so easily made if Vale did not exist.

No. It is the same as our attendances being double now what they were in the third tier. Success brings fans out of the woodwork. 40,000 stokies wanted tickets for the Millenium Stadium in 2002 when only 14,000 could be arsed to turn up at the Brit. Promotion to the Prem brought 10,000 Stokies out from where ever they had been hiding for years. A quick random google such shows most teams attendances grow when they get promoted. Swansea went from less than 4,000 to over 20,000 sell outs after 10 years of success. Burnley and Bournemouth doubled their gates after a few years of success and promotion to the Prem. Vale do not have a bigger fanbase than Stoke, nor will they get bigger crowds than us if they are in our division but they did average 9,000 in 1995. The same year as only 12,000 could be arsed to get themselves to the Vic. In 2000 only 11,4000 could be bothered to support the biggest club in the Potteries. I don't think it unrealistic to expect an extra 10,000 to pitch up at the Vale if by some miracle they could get themselves into the Prem. Had Port Vale never existed soap dodgers would still want to watch football and they would be supporting Stoke.

If any one on here needs any persuading what a bunch of jealous bastards those soap dodging twats from the wastelands of the north are have a look on the sentivale re Butllands injury and a comment posted this afternoon re him and England and our Europa league chances without Butland.
Lets see see how cocky they are next season when they do a Crewho and dive back into League 2. Oblivion will follow when Smurf pulls the plug. Nice site for a housing development I think with Stein Close one of the street names to remind everybody that football was played occasionally at the Wembley of the North????

If vale ceased to exist then it would probably take a few decades for those sentiments to die with the passing generations but Stoke City's local catchment area would expand to encompass the whole of the potteries. Right now there is a black hole around burslem that is (with occasional exceptions) fiercely hostile to our great club.

We are all entitled to our views however misguided some may be on the Fail. However next time someone mentions the city's heritage and that bunch of soap dodging deluded clowns from the north of our wonderful city being part of it remember all the years they've been a drain on the city's resources. Bail outs from the council, arguing over police bills etc etc etc. all money which could have been used to better effect than helping keep a small and irrelevant non-entity going. Remember that next time you feel yourself going soft towards them. The city's heritage goes back long before the early 90's, many people used to go and watch both clubs on alternate weekends, my granddad used to tell me about watching them when they played in Hanley.
