Port Vale - 'Top Club'

[Bananagarner]

I believe Bogetta has a hatred of the Vale for some reason. Nice story and shows the benefits of not supporting a big club in the Premier League as you just wouldn't get that.

Premier League clubs do things like this all the time. Jesus it's a nice story but you haven't cured fucking cancer.

I'm sure the ability to read something and fully understand it is non-existent in Preston.

erm...

VF16 said you wouldn't get this with a premier league club, BG pointed out that premier league clubs do this sort of thing all the time. I'm struggling to see what he hasn't understood.

I am telling you that yes. My cousin has downs syndrome and when he was 11, he was a massive Man Utd fan (poor parenting imo). My Uncle rang Old Trafford and took him on the same day and got a private tour of the ground and got to have a walk on the pitch.

With all due respect, and absolutely NO offence intended whatsoever, I dare say his disability played a huge part in that, Tom.

Also with all due respect Dan, I don't really think it matters whether the poor kid is disadvantaged due to social or medical misfortune, the act of kindness is just as worthy of acknowledgement and appreciation.

Oh, absolutely! Can't disagree with that, but if a club was to snub something such as this, then there'd be a bit of a public reaction but nothing too major. However, if it became known that the club had snubbed a young lad with Downs Syndrome, then there'd be uproar, and the PC brigade would be up in arms about it and it'd get national newspaper recognition and would be doing the rounds on social media.

On the subject matter though, a great gesture by one of the big clubs, and hope the little lad had the time of his life.
