I remember that match. Taped the game on Sky. Remember us singing Rudge's barmy army for absolutely ages in the 2nd half, 1 nil up. Watched the game back and Alan Brazil said "it's the Bradford fans you can hear singing"...what, Bradford fans were singing about Vale's manager? Haven't liked him...
That's it, we're similar with Swindon. Often take 2 or 300, yet we'll usually take 1,000 to Oxford.
I said a few weeks ago, no club should be knocked for their away followings at the moment. We've got 3 away games in 10 days coming up. I've chosen the Doncaster one of the 3. Only one I've...
Club confirmed today we've sold just under 1,300.
Crewe? No chance, not having that.
For me it's a, meh, following. Not great, not shit. If we're looking for a comparison, the closest you'll find is probably the 2017 game that Alex Jones scored the winner, Bradford won that game to go 5th in...
You'd sell 1,299. Kidding, you're a bigger club so that's the reason why you'd sell out. I was a bit disappointed at first but in truth, when was the last time we took over 1k to Bradford? First game of the 16/17 season? Even then think it was less than 1,100.
We do have a fickle fan base. You...
When all 3 are fit, I'd push Garrity into the 10 and let Byers and Croasdale run the game. Byers and Garrity will be like new signings right when we need them.
Striking correlation to our dip in form, with Garrity going out injured. Which in fact was the 2nd half v Wimbledon. Can pin point the exact moment the dip started. Garrity is one of them players that his importance becomes blatantly obvious, once he's out injured.
I always remember it being 2 blocks in the side stand (Midland Road). It's showing a 3rd block greyed out for some reason but that would be close to the half way lane, won't there be season ticket holders in there? Highly doubt we've sold tickets that far along.
Behind the goal we've sold, as you look from the pitch, left to right of the top tier. So one block full so far. May shift a few between now and then. Be 1300 to 1500 by looks of it. Not great at all. We're a fickle bunch, win yesterday and Bromley, we'd be over 2k.
Our form looks to have knocked a good few hundred off the following to Bradford boxing day. That and the fact we have 3 away games in 10 days, with Grimsby and Donny to follow.
Hard to tell how sales are going from ticketmaster. Lots of greyed out seats but they seem to be opening up blocks as...
I don't see it happening. He's producing in a team top of the league. It's not like you're struggling. I don't think Stoke will rush him. A mate of mine knows him, says he's a really nice guy, level headed but ultimately wants to be top striker at Stoke. The biggest risk is they decide see what...
Armstrong's reaction tells you everything you need to know. Free kick was the correct decision. He barely even complains, just strolls back smiling. He knows it was the right call.
People trying to make out this is a similar situation as last week are clutching at straws. Desperate wind up...
It's a great initiative this, didn't they do something similar last season? Looks like becoming an annual event. Have to applaud it especially at this time of year when everything else is so expensive.
Saw our CEO interviewed on sport business podcast recently mention something about aiming at...
The liner had a great view. Having his view blocked is just a lie. And even then, if he's admitting the player blocked his view if the ball, the fact his whole body is in the goal tells you all you need to know. So if this is a competence issue, he's fucking thick giving that as his excuse...
The team it happened against is irrelevant, the motive for match fixing isn't to piss off Vale fans. The naivety to think match fixing doesn't happen, is staggering. Don't pretend you don't know what the motivations are for a few reactions. It's been proven time and time again throughout the...
This was the view the linesman had when the ball bounced on its way out of the goal (which he used his hand to clear). It must have travelled a foot to get that far. He could almost be excused for not seeing the ball at it's furthest point into the goal (albeit, anyone with a fucking brain could...
The behind the goal footage is even more damning. 2 blatant handballs, (ref is visibly in a great position for both) neither given. And whilst all that's being "missed" the liner "misses" the ball cross the line and then bounce a foot over the line on it's way out of the goal. Don't defend the...
It's match fixing. Let's just be honest it's not even debatable. Ref "misses" 2 blatant handballs, and the liner "misses" the ball crossing the line, and then landing over the line on it's way back out when he can't use the excuse the player got in his way. In that one incident, between them the...
