Carol Shanahan - ‘We want to win deep not win shallow’.

Good quote that, 100% right as well. I wish more clubs followed that approach.

Congrats Vale, hopefully this means the footballing gods will decide we must go up next season as we can’t be apart too long!

That support to you fellas is always there from us until that twat is out of your club going back to when we came to Boundary Park and joined in your protests. It’s a crime what he’s doing to yourselves.

Sorry to the Mansfield fans, that’s a tough one to take - you didn’t deserve that performance.

Clough has definitely built a platform for next year though and I look forward to seeing you in L1 soon

Not really sure what happened there so I'll just say commiserations Mansfield's, your fans were unbelievable second half and deserved more than to be in that position at half time

And for vale, get the fuck in. Possibly my best day following vale in 25 odd years

Well done Port Vale.

Mansfield shoot themselves in the foot at times but Vale took their chances and played out the 2nd half easily adding a decent 3rd goal.

Yeah 2nd half they were awesome. Not sure what that song was on repeat for about 20 mins from the 50th minute, but that was wicked

Congratulations to Port Vale. It will be strange not been in the same league as them. I think we've played them more than any other club in the Football League. Hopefully see you 2023-24 season, and not in league 2!

I've seen a lot of crap on social media but want to wish the Vale fans on here and in general (Will ignore the ones that goaded us last week) congratulations for promotion today. Didn't see the game but 3-0 suggests a cake walk. Like to think the battle we gave you over 2 legs worked in your favour today! All the best lads and lassies.

Gutted with the result and more so how we didn't turn up.

Congrats to Vale though, they certainly were the better team. In another way I'm pleased for them, in particular DC and their fans on here who seem a good bunch.

we weren’t at the races and got given a good hiding.

Mansfield did what mansfield does in big games, they fail. Sadly i was right again saying we wouldn’t go up (wish i was wrong sometimes!)

I wish vale all the best next season, can’t wait to see how they’re getting on against derby when we’re losing at some shithole like sutton haha.

Please do stay up though!

If its not top 3 at least (I suspect biggest in the league in fact,) I will be astounded.

Nah, not at all.

top 7 or so.

For some reason other fans think (with no basis at all) that we’ve a massive budget.

Back home, superb day; parked at Wealdstone FC and they were fantastic hosts for us, then went Box Park and that was absolutely bouncing! Bizarre Lee Hughes appearance I have to say!

It was all well set out though and was great to see all the fans there and how far we’ve come from that dark spell under Norman where we genuinely looked doomed.

Chuffed for DC, seen his interview and obviously he’s now felt it right to mention his daughter and he deserves the happiness, it meant so much and him serenading us to the wonder of you in the post match celebrations and seeing him so happy was great, I love the man and he now goes down in Vale folklore.

Performance wise it was very un vale like to win like that but Wilson was immense, that ball to set up the first and Harratt an absolute pain.

Mal Benning though, he struggled we didn’t get the signing we expected at first but he’s really hit the heights lately and that third goal was great technique to keep it down.

Felt from Mansfield they were far too narrow. The first two goals we opened them up with a cross field pass leaving our full backs in acres of space but fair play their fans second half tried to keep their side going and as said we’ve been there in 93 man sent off and 3-0 loss and bounced back to win auto the following year, they’ve done remarkable to turn it around from November and have plenty to build on going forwards.

I will miss the League Two forum a bit, it’s far more active and loads of good posters on here, hopefully look forwards to welcoming more on here up there in 12 months time if we can secure our status.

One of your players is on 20k pw at his parents club and teams don't loan these people out for peanuts.

Football manager and transfermrkt.com both have you in the top 3.

So go ahead and tell me why I'm making ludicrous statements....

and we pay nothing towards that, which again shows with respect you’ve not a clue what you’re on about.

he’s also not one of our player he’s on loan
