Bringing a whole bunch of Americans to this game. One of which, we affectionately call "The Hulk". Might ask him to bring his goalkeeping gloves with him !
 

Port Vale

Is there a coach for this one? Or have I left it to late?

You need to book several months in advance to get the best deals. You could try changing at Stoke or Crewe and getting London Midland services. They are slower and cheaper than Virgin Trains.

Book in advance 12 weeks before they normally start .
Use London midland
See if there is a walk up fare of 25 quir return from Manchester on london midland as there is from Liverpool

Your right, they are popular and very useful....but they are always produced too late i feel. We needed this when the fixtures were announced and the cheap trains went on sale....by now everyone has sorted themselves out so it makes your guide a bit redundant. Perhaps do them earlier please if you are going to continue with them this season? Just a thought.

Can't remember the name mate got pool table, sky etc. There are so many places as vale is 4-5 miles from stoke station. Hanley has plenty of the usual suspects and the supporters bar at ground is massive and good

The place near the college , turn right out of station turn left at end, follow down til you get a fork in road take left side and up on left. This is all from memory so prob wrong !

Nearly twenty year's since I went to Vale. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Was it Gayle's last match in a Bee's shirt first time round in 94'. Got slagged off by our fans & joined Wimbledon the next day.

Don't recall that.

Think that was my last trip there, as well. Ian Taylor score the winner for them.

Anyone know the cost of the coach for this game?

Hi guys, a Port Vale Fan here. We're all really looking forward to our return game in league one - the last 5 or so years in league 2 have been terrible, it comes to something when Derby bring more to a friendly at Vale Park than 99% of league 2 teams.

Its been a few years since we've played each other, one thing to point out for travelling fans is that what used to be the away pub (The Vine) is now home fans only. I'm not totally sure where the police put away fans these days - it may be the George Hotel

For those of you wanting to sample the delights of Burslem, the 2 pubs I'd recommend for you are the Bulls Head (a titanic pub well known for its real ale) which has always made away fans welcome and The Leopard which also serves real ale.

You'll be ok in colours in the Bulls Head and whilst the Leopard is friendly enough I'd put a jumper over any away tops just to be safe.

Other than these 2 I'd steer clear of the other pubs in town - we've our share of idiots that will try and ruin your day out !

Thanks for the info, love Titanic beer, went on the Brewery tour last year!

Port Vale away - pre match pub, Bulls Head, St John's Square is recommended.

Decent ale.

Away fan friendly.

10 mins walk to ground.

Plus Junior Bordeaux Bee's first legal pint!

See you there.

It might be covered already but what is the best way to get from Stoke on Trent railway station to the Port Vale ground?

Either a taxi - it's about 4 or 5 miles - or a connecting train to Longport, which takes 5 minutes and leaves you a 25 minute walk to Vale Park. The trouble is there is only one train an hour to and from Longport so the connections need to work well. You could also get a bus from Stoke station but I believe that takes about 45-50 minutes.

10.20 from Euston for me, getting excited. :bound: coyr!
