No chance, we will get 6000 plus easily for this, we had a decent amount for a Carabao and the fact its top v second and a fairly local game will see demand from us for that. Expect an 7500-8000ish crowd total.

Don't like it really, get as many fans as you can in, didn't agree with Notts County doing it with us or this, can understand a play off semi final going with the same you get but if Crewe do it to us in the reverse there can be no complaints. Get fans in the ground, surely makes sense. Might...

No idea on this occasion, only thing I can think is if Vale want a guaranteed x amount sold to open another block for instance, similar possibly to Notts with us?

If that was the case we'd have capped Walsall as well.

Wasn't the League Cup down to Stoke being at home and Police availability? Could be wrong on that though! Not sure why we've caped it though, we haven't for Walsall up to this point and allowed teams like Bolton and Derby the full 3100.

Interesting, thought I would take a look regarding our attendances now v the past: Last season with 2 home wins in over half a season and the worst on records IIRC at Vale Park our average was 2000 up on pre Covid, the season before 3000 up. Generally in the Championship we got around 7-9k in...

Paddock was shut last time IIRC so only had half the Lorne St and Bycars for Home fans... the one prior to that was on Sky I recall but that was a time post relegation from the Championship when our numbers had dropped generally. If one was to happen now it would easily see 11-12k minimum.

Should be a decent atmosphere under the lights, two games at home in a row on Sky but where the away following is set to be over 1500 (Think Walsall have flogged about 2k so far).

To be honest these days I see more kids wearing Inter Miami or Al Nassr shirts than I do anyone else outside the local teams! (including my son! :ffs: )

Soz! Thats the second last derby game with Stoke... there was one more after that... :)

Rangers and Celtic are both Glasgow? Same City Derbies are generally another level due to split families/workplaces the stakes are far higher, you could arguably stretch it to conurbations as well, plus a lot counts on how many clubs are local, for example Crewe don't have a true two way...

Hard to say exactly as everything is undisclosed. We paid fees: Connor Hall - Cowley described as a deal they couldn’t turn down. Lorent Tolaj - Met Aldershot’s release clause rumoured to be 250k but not confirmed. Ruari Paton - likely 6 figures easily, had interest rumoured from L1 Jayden...

Brandon Cover appears to have deleted all his Leicester City bio and pictures of instagram according to one of their fans and after kissing the Vale badge when he scored v AFC Wimbledon rumours abound that he is to sign with us permanently. Been a revelation so would be a great long term...

It’s all about Stoke really, others come and go. It was quite intense with Shrewsbury around 2008-10ish after a bad tempered game but that died out quickly, Wrexham in the past, historically it was Walsall and that died years ago but since we took DC they have made it one from their end again...

It’s not a hated rivalry, not from the Vale point of view as we are so invested in the Potteries one. There was a bit of “beef” after the Clayton Donaldson penalty game and then the following one we got a dodgy one and Gradi and Adam’s and a few bits like that but if you look at it both clubs...

Port Vale v Crewe on Monday also.

It’s hard to say, January will play a part. I expect Walsall will lose Lowe, if a striker scores on loan like he is then he is either going back to play for Stoke or going to a League One club realistically. The bigger budget clubs will likely pick up a couple in January to aid their causes and...

The stand itself isn’t too bad but the access to it at Crewe, that one entrance half way is a nightmare and get in and out. Will caveat that say the Notts away end was not great in the concourse either, especially for the loo! We had restrictions on attendances in the last promotion season and...

It’s what it always seems to be really, fairly even, we’ve had as tougher games against the bottom sides like Accrington and today as we have Notts or MK. There’s not the gulf you have between top and bottom of L1 for example. We’ve found ourselves 5 points clear at the top and haven’t really...

Budget isn’t everything look at Carlisle and your second, it’ll be as tough as any game we’ve had so far and titles are not won in November. For all the budget our current best performer is one fans would have driven away from the club after last season (Sang) and our game changer today was a...
