There's only me and my dad and my kids who are stoke fans in our family, all my mum and dad's brothers are Vale fans even now my brother in law is a ex Vale player and all his family are Vale fans, but growing up I loved the Derby games Burslem suburban where all the family would meet b4 the game for a few beers, best game for me is when we won 2 nil at the Vale to see all the stokies in the bycars end when we scored oh happy days. I was in the bycars that game with my brother because we'd sold out and some of the Stanfield lot from my school days recognised me and were all for filling me in. Luckily for me a few of them were decent lads who I was friends with and they talked the others around. At the time I thought it was bang out of order but looking back now I suppose they felt I was rubbing their noses in it. My celebrations were very muted though, just a clench of the fist.

I was suspended from school the day after the Autoglass defeat to them. The lad I got into a punch up with has been a Stoke season ticket holder since we got to the Premier League and his son is a regular fixture at away games. I saw them both in the pub pre Blackburn and didn't hesitate to ask if he'd be going back to support the Vale at any point soon. Dad was very embarrassed to be asked such a question in front of his son. I wouldn't wish them out of business (I don't think) but I share the same views on them as werrington. I thought they were promoted when they beat Hartlepool the other week anyway. Was that not the case?

in fairness they seemed to be doing ok again since the manager took a leave of absence, before that they were doing a good job of mucking it up
the manager reappears after Hartlepool and its all gone down the pan again, coincidence?
i wish them nothing but ill and long for the day that Mr Mo Waterworld Chaudry finally gets his hands on the pig sty of the north and levels it for housing

My brother is a Vale fan (long story) and my father-in-law. I pretend to hope they get promoted to keep the peace but really I'm hoping they fail 😁😁😁 Tell the story. I hear that’s common in Liverpool but must be rare in cities like ours where the derby is territorial. Wondering how that happens; would guess half brother with a vale supporting non-mutual parent, but then that’s not a long story so probably not. My brother is a Vale fan here's my story I managed to persuade my dad to let me go Stoke with my mates as a 13 year old , night match v Forest in 81 drew 1-1 , i lost my train ticket all me mates fucked off and left me in Stoke went to the cop shop in tears and a copper gave me 50p to get a bus , stood at the wrong bus stop for an hour before i got the right one got home about midnight the old man went ballistic and said i couldn't go again My best mate at school is a Vale fan and my nan lived on the estate across from VP so he let me go up with him mum and dad didn't have to worry , i used to hate the HT scores if Stoke were losing they'd all be cheering like demented pigs , i started to take my 7 year old brother with me and he loved it and that's why he stuck with them , as soon as i turned 16 i started going Stoke again, always in my heart it never leaves you once you've been addicted So Craig if you ever read this you're a fucking idiot

I think that over the years on this MB, everything that could be said about the Vale has been said.
Now I wouldn't mind if they somehow faded into obscurity and just became a footnote to history.

Don't know if anyone has the misfortune of getting the Sentivale ? But the last month has the Fail on full back page everyday and lots of Fail shite inside. If the unwashed ever get to Wembley in the final and go up you will never hear the last of it . Don't get me started on Radio Stoke with Phil Bowers and and Lee somebody .Come on Newport and Exeter .

Wonder how many of em were electrocuted learning the process? Edit: These guys cheer when we fail and mock us when we're down. Sounds like grounds for an ass-whooping to me

To be honest, I’m a bit torn about the Vale.
On the one hand…having a second team in the city is a good thing, and it’s great for the area if both are successful.
On the other hand…f*ck the Fail, f*ck the Fail, f*ck the Fail.
