They were really excited about this fixture and pleased their club is getting plenty of money - they've watched the slow motion car crash of bad investment and tolerated unpopular chairman such as Norman Smurtheaite allegedly using the club to make profit .
Imagine of we'd stayed behind against Gillingham at Wembley 20 years ago, then dropped again the following season. Imagine if we were still at Maine Road (8narill.miss the place). Imagine if every season we narrowly miss out on play offs. They have that gallows humour we had when we were shite. If they were to somehow become a major force on football, like is, they'd not forget that humour.
That's Valiants.
Glad they got some much needed cash, I do have a soft spot for Vale.

No doubt in my mind if Weaver hadn't have won us that final at Gillingham we'd be down there still and we'd have struggled to make it back up.

Weren't we on the brink of bankruptcy?

Did you drink in The Saggers or Post Office? Good pint there but maybe not in away colours
