    Apologies - and Grimsby. But 700-800 didn’t get the memo.

    If your projected turnover is £8m in L2, fair play to you. I’m doubtful, but we’ll see. The fact that you can’t comprehend where the additional revenue will come from pretty much confirms you’re selling the potential of my club short - there’s 800k difference in solidarity payments alone...

    Regards to Sparks, it really does depend who you speak to. If you gather your intel from Twitter and other socials, you’ll come across your average, spotty teenager who can’t think for themselves. I don’t have an issue with Sparks. Yes, there’s been mistakes, but in the main he’s tried to sign...

    Selling Dipepa was perfect timing really, wasn’t it? That’s years of development as opposed to churning 1 of these out every other season. Prior to Dipepa and the other lad, when was your other ‘big sale’? If you’re leaning on flogging academy products to top up your revenue, you’ll need more...

    But that’s the thing, how is chucking millions into Port Vale sustainable, unless you can source passive income from it - that or be successful, but judging by your original point, you’re confident you’ll struggle regardless. Yes, you can lean on academy sales. I think most clubs can. I think...

    So, what’s the end goal? Promotion and just hope ‘Carol’ flings a few million to give you half a chance - riveting prospect. We lost £400k over 2 seasons - on the back of sacking managers. Our last stint in L1 saw us finish top 7 three times in 3 consecutive seasons - use that as your...

    Hang on a minute, you can’t suggest Bradford City might struggle in L1 now it’s apparently become a Championship 2, and then refer to past history where it wasn’t deemed comparable to a so-called “Champ 2” - as if this somehow supports your point, it doesn’t. If we’re applying the logic that...

    Everything about our club is set up for L1 football - Vale, isn’t. Take a look at our league positions throughout 2014-2017 and who we came up against. One man and his mission (Edin Rahic) is the reason why we’re in L2. Furthermore, there is absolutely no way you’re outspending us in L1...

    Season Tickets/Passes 2025-26

    I don’t think we’ll announce ours until we know what league we’re playing in. They’re currently £250-£430. Can only see us increasing them by £20 if we go up and they’ll stay the same if we’re in L2.

    I’m not sure what Wrexham, Mansfield and Stockport have to do with our chances in L1? All I know is, we’ll shift 18,000+ season tickets again. Our rent actually goes DOWN the higher we climb the ladder and I understand FinPlay Protocol is lenient in comparison to L2. The likes of Vale and...

    How long have you supported your club?

    First game I attended was against Grimsby at Valley Parade in 1997 - age 6 Managed to get to a few games in the Premier League. Became a ST holder the year we came down from the Prem (01/02) - been a ST holder ever since. My old man is a City fan, but my grandad was a Park Avenue fan.

    As mentioned - missing too many players! I don’t dislike Leigh, but one thing for certain, he isn’t a striker. When you’ve got 2 strikers on the bench and none in the starting XI, you deserve to come away with nothing. GA got this one wrong.

    You’re allowed so many promotional days per season where this doesn’t need to be extended to away end. It used to be five, not sure what it is now. Vale tickets still filtering through our loyalty point system - shifted 1,150 so far. They go on sale to all ST holders/general sale tomorrow...

    Just announced that all tickets for our home game against Colchester United are a fiver - not sure if this is extended to the away end - it should be IMO. Can see us shifting 23,000+
