Can't wait. My first trip to Vale Park. I think we'll win this one 1 or 2-0.

I know you're one for the shiny lego brick grounds with your panoramic photos (and very nice they are too), but I have a bit of a fetish for dumps like Luton and Grimsby. Hoping this lives up to expectations!

It’s a proper ground, I loved it last season. Can make some great noise from the away end as well

I loved the old grounds. A proper football nerd could take one glance at a grainy black and white photo in a newspaper and know exactly what ground it was, all 92 were unique.
Now they are just varying levels of bland. A lot of them are soulless interchangable plastic bowels that need the name of the club written in seats just to give them a shread of personality.
I don't think I've been to a single redeveloped ground where the atmosphere is better tgat at the old dump it replaced.
Just another thing that's raspberries about modern football.

We had a stinker away at the club 92nd in the FL recently. Macclesfield were 92nd when we played them and we provided them with only their 2nd point out the first 27 available after we put in a stinker of a 2nd half. Vale at present are 90th so if the attitude is of the ilk of the two games above it's gonna be tough.

Been to the New York Stadium - new(ish) home of Rotherham United. It certainly has nothing the atmosphere of their old hovel - Millmoor. That WAS an intimidating venue! Mind you, the Milkers’ New ground is oodles better than what they had to endure when they were orphaned to Attercliffe after losing Millmoor before the new stadium was built.

Millmoor's still standing also and apparently being used by someone.

Don't forget Yeovil at home too as think they were 90th at the time.
Hopefully we've learnt from past mistakes.

Brentford is one of my favourite grounds. QPR and Fulham too. Some great grounds in West London. Aren't Brentford moving to a shiny new one?

Indeed, truly rancid, but a lifeline for them it seems, sharing with York RL team I think

Whereas they’ve paid the fans back with successive and decent home wins, I still think they’ve got a point to prove after disappointing losses to Newport and county
With closing in on a probable 2000 away fans this is their time to prove their worth, especially against a club on its arse.
A loss here would be a disaster.
Thought Ajose did well Saturday in walkers absense and the midfield played well, more of that please
Should be a cracking atmosphere!
