If they've got a Stoke shirt how can they be young Vale fans. The thick fuckers The club go into schools don't they and just give our the shirts to the kids regardless. Bound to be some Vale fans in there who get one. What, all five of them 😂

Serious note, are people genuinely annoyed by this? The thing is that they actually are. Some people just love to be offended by anything and everything, it gives them something to moan about. It’s a rival club having a giggle at our expense. We would find it hilarious if roles were reversed and we did it to them. Bunch of fucking snowflakes the lot of them.

Ha ha, this is actually quite funny. It's also going to prove to be completely short-sighted and counter-productive. We're stinking the place out at the moment, so the Vale have spied a chance to make hay while the sun shines and cause a little mischief. But what are the odds that our owners won't forget this little episode, and one day, when we're on the way back up, and it will happen one day, they'll do something similar which will hurt the Vale a hell of a lot more than this little jape will hurt us. Just like the 'Ambition' signing of Jesé paid off, eh?

Wow... However, never sink to their level, rise above and lead by example. To be honest if it was us we'd think it pretty funny. Let them have their day in the sun. We've got bigger things to sort out.

Basically what's happened is some Schools have been giving out free Stoke shirts and Tickets. However as you know not all kids support Stoke and some do support Vale. So it's basically a case where a few Vale supporting kids have raised the issue with Vale and they have offered to swap the Stoke shirts they didn't want in the first place for Vale shirts. Don't see a prob myself and it just shows we now have far better, more community focused owners than that idiot Smurf. Likewise good luck to Stoke if they did the same.

All that's wrong with this is that the timing looks like it's a piss take.
Stoke have gone into loads of schools giving shirts and tickets away. My best mates lad is 7 and goes to Bursley Way up Bradwell and he goes to Vale . He came home with free tickets and a Stoke top and asked his dad if he could go.
Clearly someone has contacted Vale hence their offer. I don't think it's underhanded or disgusting at all , merely bad timing.

The steeper the decline the more precious we become Na you're right but I suppose I'm pissed off with things. Even so the actual subject matter could be seen as quite serious, relatively. It's not actually 9/11. I'm with you on that.

Also the Stoke shirts that have been given to Vale fans in Schools, are being returned to Stoke, so that they can go to genuine Stoke supporting kids. So the opening poster needs to read the actual intentions of this offer before getting their knickers in a twist

Not really, I think its quite funny. We could do the same. Free deodorant and condoms for a Vale shirt. Make them smell better and stop interbreeding. GD Reply of the day.

Be interesting to see if anybody has taken up their offer.
If they've had 4 people do it that's doubled their fanbase!
In fairness, it's quite funny but mostly desperate.

They'll do well to claw back the hundreds or thousands of adults that went the other way in 2008... but now's as good a time as any I suppose..

Don’t see anything wrong with this scheme. Looking at it from their perspective, it’s a good idea and gets them some publicity. Especially as it sort of takes advantage of how utterly crap we are at the moment.

It isnt trying to get Stoke fans to have Vale shirts. It's about loads of Stoke shirts have been given out free in Schools and some kids who are Vale fans have basically complained. As a gesture of goodwill off Vales new owners, they have offered to give anyone who didn't want a Stoke shirt, a Vale one. Then the free Stoke shirts can go to the kids who genuinely want them. It's not about taking the piss, it's about trying to offer a free alternative to already Vale supporting kids.

I think maybe the timing is what makes this particular offer look like its a pisstake. Stoke have been giving shirts away to children for a number of years now but this Vale offer is made when we're at our lowest ebb for 16 years or so. I appreciate these are new owners though, and in fairness I can see why they feel the need to do something to address what we've been doing. As per my previous post though, I just wonder if it might backfire in the longrun.

Let the Vale have their little moment. In my experience, it always backfires on them.
I suppose giving them back to the Community Trust is good. If it was Billy Bell Or Smurthwaite,I'd expect them to be on eBay!

This thread is really weird.
90% of replies are 1 of 3 things.
1. This is clever marketing.
2. This is funny.
3. You're all a bunch of snowflakes for not realising this is clever marketing and funny.

The small time cunters haven't even got a Vale shirt to swap with.
"there might be a delay while we wait for errea to find more dish cloths to knock up a a shirt or two."
Who the fuck would swap a shirt with colour on for a black and white one????
