Those young enough not to know, we played a home game at Vale in the 70's when the Butler street stand blew off.
Think it was Middlesbrough in a Division one ( Premier league) fixture.
Imagine the furore now if that was the case in modern times.
We were given special dispensation to play our home game at Vale Park.
How tin pot and embarrassing would be the shout nowadays .
How times have changed

I was in the Hamil Road end too, it felt like most Stoke fans just walked there in one long snaking line! The gate was 21,000 or so. Scruffy goal, what's else from Ian Moore's, late on in the match.

Haven't they offered the ground to Coventry to use? Would be 2 rents to the dude who wants to keep the ground potentially although Coventry unlikely you'd imagine. I think after recent events them playing at our place is a non starter. Crewe would be the obvious choice. Haven't Crewe got to move in a few years, a joint venture would make sense there

They can change their name to crewvale with the nickname we hate stoke. But would Vale want to move from "the Wembley of the North" I am sure I saw a group of Japanese tourists looking at this structural masterpiece. in fact now the fa have failed to sell the real Wembley surely this is a viable alternative for investors.

Surely the most amusing thing that comes from all of this is the Vale fans get the ground declared a community asset or whatever it is they're looking to do. So while Smurthwaite can't demolish and do anything property wise, Vale in an attempt to force a sale don't rent it, and instead we rent it as a ground for the reserves. I'm sure after a sale Smurthwaite would be happy to allow renaming to Stoke Reserves Park.
It's pretty common that our reserves and u18's play games at different grounds outside of Stoke if they aren't at Clayton Wood. So it could work out quite well.

Christ on a bike ,it doesn't take much to cheer a vale fan up does it . listening to the vale fans on praise and grumble you would have thought they had won the league.one has just been on saying roll on when they get rid of smurf and then next season we'll be up there in the league.didn't smurf say if he doesn't get a buyer in the next 5 weeks he will put vale into administration or did I dream it.

Yes we ought to let them groundshare, rent free and give all their fans free pies and beverages. Taxis to pick them up to take them to the ground and back. Surely someone can start an online petition to make it happen??? That's just silly. We could help them out in their hour of need,charge a sensible rent.ni more no less. Eventually (appreciate this would take time) the clubs could move away from the toxic non relationship to one where Vale and Stoke are on good terms, Stoke could benefit from loaning youngsters to them for example. It would require Vale fans to recognise they are not a club on an equal footing with Stoke and never will be and both sets of fans to move away from the mindless hatred we saw before Xmas where Stoke fans smashed toilets and Vale idiots were keen to join in. Appreciate this could be a very long process. Don't get me wrong quite happy to see Vale go non league that's not a problem to me but I also think it would be better if it wasn't such a poisonous relationship. Local media hasn't helped in the past especially in the 1990's from The Sentinel. When you have a club that wouldn't let their most successful manager ever into the ground to watch our reserve game there, I'm with Peter Coates who said "we'll never do business with them again". They refused to let rudge in the ground when he worked for us. Nah, reap what ya sow. Shit house of a club

Like I've said before I've got nothing but contempt for the fans( as they have for us) but there are ordinary, decent folk who work there (off the pitch obv) maybe not even interested in footie who will lose jobs and all the spin offs like possibly lose homes etc. I can't take anything good from that.
Fuck me, Pope was lucky though to squeeze that in yesterday. I do think though that they are more or less safe now, at least from relegation.

Offer accepted. Look forward to the cycle repeating itself in 7 years time. pretty much, they hound out every owner, no way that they will get all of this done and dusted before may 5th though, Normans last dig at the unwashed of Burslem will be to leave them with a 12 point deficit before a ball has even been kicked twinned with new owners who despite being well intentioned have not one idea how the world of football works

Will Norm still own the ground? Haven't these owners got to lend money to actually buy it? My mate who is a massive Vale fan says he doesn't think they've got the money to get them back where Vale fans want them to be (The Championship) but that's only going off what he's saying. A big difference between being able to buy the club and affording to run it though. Wouldn't surprise me if Smurf pulled the plug as he's rather unpredictable. The Shahanan's seem in cahoots with the weirdo Sentinel editor so I'd anticipate lots of pro Vale stuff coming up. Vale fans on Twitter seem thrilled and I think the goodwill will help them next season, like it did with Smurf at the start. They'll no doubt hound them out like they've done every one else though.

The Vale Cycle:
- Shanahans buy the club, the unwashed are wanking themselves into oblivion
- Shanahans come out with some contrived bollocks about getting Vale “back in the big time” (they’ve never fucking been there but I digress) spunking levels reach critical in Burslem
- The sentinel does a huge spread about the Shanahans being actual beings formed from the DNA of Jesus, the Dalai Lama and Mahatma Ghandi
- The Stoke abuse starts, because after all they’re practically Man City now and they’ll definitely be in a league above us in 5 years time
- Pre-season starts, the Shanahans either give Askey the piggy bank (which has got a thruppence and a condom wrapper in it) or appoint some cunt with an exotic name, Johan Van Den Bellendersen or something
- He signs a 33 year old winger who once had a trial at Borussia Monchengladbach, the streets in Burslem are now closed off because of the pool of seminal fluid that has accumulated in Middleport
- The season begins, they win their first two games 1-0, against the Dog & Dick FC and the Grocott Centre U18’s, Tom Pope scores in both and celebrates by ripping into our players, who have all played at a higher level than he’s ever done in his entire career, and beating the absolute fuck out of his missus
- We have a bit of a crap run, the goading begins to snowball even more, they’re going to overtake us in a year, they even get out their best Diadora polo’s to strut around in, such is their confidence
- Results begin to dry up, but why? They’re the greatest team in the league, it must be the players, so they turn on them, every minute mistake is greeted with threats of rape and pillagery against those very beings who are going to carry them all the way to the Champions League
- This doesn’t work, so the one semi-functioning lightbulb in Burslem comes on, the players must be de-motivated, the manager needs to have it, said manager is then ousted from his position with all the vocal ire not seen since the Nazi’s filtered Jews into ghettos
- The yokels demand an ex-legend be placed in charge (They must be running thin on those now Christ), the Shanahans oblige, because they’re not just owners, they’re fans as well.
- Leon Constantine takes over, he wins his first two games, order is restored, parity is then cast over that rusted, empty paedophiles lair that they call Vale Park
- Results then begin to wobble, again, now this is a cause of mass confusion, they’ve had a go at the players, that didn’t work, they’ve ousted the manager, that didn’t work, they’ve appointed a club legend, that didn’t work, is this because in reality they’re a really, really fucking awful team? And the fans are the thickest bunch of obnoxious bastards you’re ever likely to come across? No! It’s obviously the owners! LYNCH THEM!
- The Shanahans, who have bowed to the Valeite’s every whim, are systemically disembowelled, their leadership, their funding, their ethics, their very existence is bought into question, alls they’ve done is try to restore the Vale to where they themselves believe they should be, but it’s just not enough.
- A hate campaign is started, games are boycotted (only 5 fans go to games rather than the normal 10), the owners are slandered on Twitter, radio and their cars are egged, Mr Shanahan is branded a raging nonce, all the while results are continuing to tumble and Tom Pope is trying his new boots out by treading on his missus’s face
- The Sentinel get wind of it, they join in the character assassinations of a family who only wanted to help, but the braindead hounds they are catering to are incapable of rational thought.
- The club is then put up for sale, skirting with administration and the whole fiasco starts again.
What a fucking shit, nasty pointless club Port Vale FC are, their ground is a shit tip, their fans are sub-human pariah’s, and their very existence has a detrimental effect on the entire football league pyramid.
I hope Smurthwaite pulls the plug at the last second for a pisser and plunges the bastards into the job centre where they belong.
