Alty for me...easy access from Manchester and maybe about 45 minutes from us. Solihull second...again close and Solihull is one of the few reasonable areas of the dump that is Birmingham. Bromley 3rd because i love a London away day. All 3 purely because I like having a new team and ground that...

I've got a feeling this is going to be a really tight league next year. Premier League you can pretty much call the top 6 now, Championship will be the usual roundabout of relegated Premier teams going back up, League One will be ordered by finance as usual, but there's probably 12 teams on...

Perhaps a season too far for him? He was brilliant for us in our promotion season....play him out wide on the right and he was so dependable (see our third goal at Wembley as an example of his desire). Sad that it hasn't worked out as I thought you'd pulled off a real coup there. Like you say...

It's much maligned is Burslem....it used to be a fine town, at the heart of a thriving industry. If you look up at some of the buildings, you can see it was once a prosperous place. It now resembles a former model who has had a 20 year smack habit. Stoke-on-Trent Council has to be the single...

A lot of things have to go wrong for you to be relegated. I think you're underestimating how dreadful we are. You'll easily beat us and wonder what all the fuss was about.

It's a shame they didn't do it a couple of weeks ago, when they produced their 'best performance of the season ' against us. Of course they did.

Proctor was good for us in league 2, I'm surprised that didn't work out. The one I'm most surprised at is Worrall. Fantastic work rate, great delivery, always gave absolutely everything for us, to the point that we would have been far better off this season if he had stayed. Probably my...

Vale were actually the better team last Tuesday I thought. Any team with a half competent forward line and defence would have put a half arsed Wycombe to the sword.

Fair enough, each to their own opinion. I'm fortunate that I can swallow the cost of that day out at Reading but there will be a number of people who went who can't. I'm all for clubs taking action against bent owners, but not when it's detrimental to another club. There's no way of knowing...

You deserve your day in the sun. We had the better of that day but I'm not sure it's benefited us in the long term. We were woefully ill prepared for league 1. I'm sure your owners, who have stuck with Clough even after that day at Wembley, will make a better fist of it. I'm sure we'll have...

Do you ever read? Or can you read? I blatantly said many times that we've been relegated because we deserve to. I'm also not the only supporter to call Reading out on this, it's not just Vale fans. One blessing of relegation is that I won't have to put up with your ramblings for a few years.

Being unable to pay all your staff because your wage bill was too high isn't an opinion though. You couldn't afford these players that have kept you up, so you've cheated the system. Virtually all clubs run at a loss, but if it's manageable and all bills are paid on time then that's well...

However your situation came about, I have sympathy with. What I don't have sympathy with is you signing players that you didn’t intend to pay on time. We went for Sam Smith in the summer but we got usurped by you who could pay him way more than us. How in any way is that fair? I have sympathy...

We had a very similar situation less than 5 years ago. Our owner was holding us olto ransom and threatening to put us in administration. Did we protest? Yes. Did we stop any matches? No. I guarantee that Reading fans wouldn't have given a shit. That game changed the course of our season...

Let's just say he's not won anyone over yet. Even with our shite team, we've had plenty of opportunities to gain points. We've lost 2-0 leads twice, which is pretty unforgiveable in my book. We've had a pretty kind fixture list in February, March and April but have just 2 wins from it. I...
