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...

Arblaster and Devine. Arblaster is probably the best player I've seen at the Vale in 35 years. That boy will play for England. Devine had also really started to come into his own but Plymouth have played him in a position that he's nowhere near as good in and he's struggled. Amazing how 2...

Awful again today. We're so far off Bolton, it's frightening. Yes, they've got a bigger budget than us but they're still in the same division, so we should at least be competitive. We had a moderate go in the second half but it was too little, too late. A result that reflects our season...

I'm glad you are able to have a game on the beach. Maybe next time you should consider not trying to get games abandoned. Some of our fans might have had a love in with you but ultimately that day started our demise. We might have beaten you when we were meant to play the first time but by the...

Yeah. We'd get a record few points if We'd have stayed in league 1. We're miles off 75% of that league at this moment in time. In some ways, I feel like a complete reset will do us good. Feels like we've been constantly treading water for the past 18 months. We came up completely unprepared...

It's always interesting to see how the teams from non league fair in the league. You'd think Chesterfield will be fine because they've been an established league club. Some players that look fantastic in non league just can't make the step up, that's the challenge I guess.

Lincoln have been fantastic for a couple of months or so. I'd like to think we were the catalyst for it! I thought we were probably the better team that day and we basically gave them 2 goals(as we do with most teams) but you could see that they were organised and well drilled. They just didn't...

Yeah, we're fortunate being virtually in the centre of the country. We don't travel very well outside of a 50 mile circle!

Vale travel well if it's an hour or so away. We have a lot of young lads who love the away day. Usually take around 1k to these games but depending on how we're doing it can be 2k+. Anything south of Birmingham seems to put us off (although weirdly we took 1k to Charlton at the end of last...

Nah. We haven't got that gutsy performance in us like most teams around the bottom have at this time of the season. A bunch of nice lads without an ounce of fight in them.

Their opinion has changed pretty quickly as they thought he was brilliant in the first few games and he had an England C call up.

I agree. We gave up on Saturday and often approach these games as though we're playing at the Etihad.

Conlon was a good signing for them....far better than that level. However, it seems they've struggled in other areas. What a fall that club has seen.

Going to be really interesting in this league next season. When we've been here before we've usually had 2 or 3 Johnny big boys who I could manage to promotion with their budget. It strikes me that there's only really Bradford who regularly get 15k+ but even their budget is hampered by their...
