    Approaching 2,000 according to their twitter post earlier today. Regardless of the childish banter you see on social media Division 4 teams taking 2k away from home is great to see. Regardless of what's gone before, how close clubs are etc, it makes for a great occasion. I'd rather 2k in the...

    Pretty sure Dan Phillips posts on OVF as, Dan Phillips. To be fair, regardless of what you think of him, he's not exactly hiding posting anonymously.

    Dan's quoting our CEO, who's basically said exactly what I posted yesterday. There was no restriction, staffing is organised based on the visiting clubs original estimate. Crewe underestimated how many they'd bring, so we couldn't confirm an increase in allocation until sufficient staffing was...

    Why,because the pitch is covered in snow? The covers won't be as effective at preventing frost as the snow will be. It keeps the pitch warm than if it was left uncovered in freezing temperatures. If it stays covered in snow until Monday, then between clearing the pitch and the game we don't have...

    My mistake. Think with the different batches of tickets arriving the updates have all been around 200 left, so thought sales had slowed. More the merrier for me, how it should be.

    That's exactly how I missed out on Notts tickets

    All seems to be sorted now. Don't think it was a police matter. Think it's similar to us at Notts earlier in the year, home club have asked the visitors how many they expect, and we both underestimated. Home club then has to try to staff the event with just a week to do so. In our case it...

    Can't speak for anyone else, I went them all. But after a few years of sell outs, 20k plus attendances early to mid 90s at both grounds...the level of violence put a lot of people off going. We got 8k the first season back in the Championship. Was an early kick off on Sky. I missed the kick off...

    Remember it well. A lad I played football with went. He's a big Vale fan but the Sentinel made him wear a Stoke top for a photo

    It's ok for fans of one club to regard a match as a derby, where the other set of fans don't. At the end of the day, our closest club are Stoke, we share the same City, work with each other, have friends and family that support the other club etc. It's a derby like no other, regardless of how...

    No one. There's a historic rivalry with Walsall that was a bit before my time.

    The classic is it isn't it a Derby debate. There so many factors effecting the answer you'll get. Age seems to be the main one that splits us. On a personal level, I grew up through our hey day where Stoke derbies were regular. Having a same City rivalry is something Crewe fans can't relate to...

    We might even have up to that figure anyway. We were given 200 more seating tickets but there were still standing tickets available. We'd not completely sold out. So at the time the club tweeted we'd sold 1,288, we'd still got whatever was left in the standing, plus 200 more seats. If there was...

    Your clubs Mt Rushmore

    Heard this on talksport and got me thinking. Since I started watching Vale in 87; Rudge, obviously. Us lucky enough to have seen Vale through the 80s and 90s were spoilt. 3 promotions, 3 visits to Wembley, 9 seasons in the Championship. Legend. Robbie Earle - his goal took us to the...

    523 Vale at Gillingham. With Morecambe next week that will be our 5th away game including Notts on 4th Oct, out of 7 league games in that time. Plus the FA Cup match to pay for last week. So expensive at the moment. I won't be giving any club grief for low numbers these days. Walsall sold an...

    We were poor by our standards but on another day we come away with an undeserved 1, maybe 2 nil win and everyone says it's a Moore masterclass away performance. As it is, an absolute howler from the ref not giving the stonewall pen (they're so thick, it's an open goal if he stays up, no one...
