Re: Port Vale

Re: Port Vale

Re: Port Vale

Re: Port Vale

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Port Vale
 

come on stanley

Re: Port Vale
 

now for the interesting part - interview with Rob Heys - see what the club have to say

Re: Port Vale
 

its like waiting for the lottery, cant wait and then disappointment sets in

Re: Port Vale
 

I hope someone has recorded that

Re: Port Vale
 

Half time and my prediction's half right already - just need the Stanley 2 now!

Re: Port Vale
 

From what I have heard up to now, I cannot say I am very happy, sounds like the directors and chairman/woman are bankrolling the club by borrowing from the banks. Not a situation that the club should be going down. Fair play to Rob for saying that the notes in last Fridays programme were not helpful. Why has the change of chair not been registered with the FA? Rob also stating that books and other literature available for public to look at, just ask Monday to Friday and any home matchday. What a joke, why can't Ilyas and the ASSF get to see them?

Re: Port Vale
 

My question evaded twice. What is the plan when the sums raised fall short of the required amount? Rob merely says we " won't be a million miles away". What good is that?

Re: Port Vale
 

Did you expect anything differant very worrying

Re: Port Vale
 

Did anyone really expect anything apart from a load of hot air?

Come on Stanley

Re: Port Vale
 

We might as well be "a million quid away"!:(

Re: Port Vale
 

I'll bet its a loan and not a donation

Re: Port Vale
 

interesting thought Ken, would there be interest on it, there's another.

Re: Port Vale
 

No, but Dan should have been more insistent on what happens re. the fund shortfall.:(

Re: Port Vale
 

That was my reading of the reply from Rob.:eek:

Re: Port Vale
 

I assumed that when Rob said they were waiting for the banks to clear everything that each bank was makng a donation ;)

Re: Port Vale
 

Interesting thing was the bit when Rob refered to how much the directors are going to put in collectivley,,We the directors ( WE ) How long has ROB been a director ?.. £ 120k was the figur mentioned

Re: Port Vale
 

come on stanley

Re: Port Vale
 

Kee on for joyce

Re: Port Vale
 

c'mon you reds - give us a goal.

Re: Port Vale
 

Yep - let's focus on the game for the last 15 mins and will a couple of goals....

On Stanley On!

Re: Port Vale

Re: Port Vale

Re: Port Vale
 

Doctor Proctor!:)

Re: Port Vale
 

turner's on and wish martin would keep within goal area !

Re: Port Vale
 

Thats it 2 2

Re: Port Vale
 

Dan not being very complimentary, Stanley taking corner and he says 'Bobby Grant is a short option"... not his fault he isn't 6foot six :D

Re: Port Vale
 

I'll settle for a point - well played the reds even if the goalie situation needs sorting.
Now lets hear what Ilyas has to say,

Re: Port Vale
 

A draw will settle for that with the performance of the defence.

Re: Port Vale
 

Kenny?

I take it that we just scraped that one......

Re: Port Vale
 

That'll do nicely after being behind for 80 minutes - On Stanley On!

Re: Port Vale
 

lmao, found that funny :) tho didn't hear fish slice ? Lol

Re: Port Vale
 

Looks like bavo will be back on duty next match then. Waiting ilyas to come on air.

Re: Port Vale
 

What a finish :) Hope someone can post what ilyas has to say as my speakers are playing up :(

Re: Port Vale
 

Very interesting - what do we all think to that, personally I say, get the ASSF to help out and if they (the directors) don't want to issue shares, then let the ASSF take over the club lock, stock and barrel. Good on yer Ilyas.

Re: Port Vale
 

yea i agree mr o neil needs to start talking to the assf its the future the way forward at least ilyas is being honest

Re: Port Vale
 

Thanks to dan and 2br for allowing a portal to both sides to discuss the issue further and answer supporters q's :) as well as the commentry :)

Re: Port Vale
 

First of all I'm very happy that the team earned a point tonight. If we can play poorly (which by the sounds of it we did for the vast majority of the game) and grab points then we'll be more than ok this season. Well done Coley & the boys.

With regards to the radio interviews, I think we heard two very contrasting attitudes from Rob Heys and Ilyas Khan. I like Rob a lot, but he is (as he has been for years) forced by the club's overall murkiness to generally not say much at all. Ilyas Khan cuts the crap and "deals in facts, not fiction". We, the fans, want the latter attitude in our club. We want to be able to say that 'our club is up front with everything it makes and takes and we trust the club enough to donate our own cash'. We want to know how much debt the club has. We want to know what people in charge of the club actually do. We want to be safe in the knowledge that the people in charge have the funds necessary to help us through the lean times.

Re: Port Vale
 

Hear Hear:D

Re: Port Vale
 

good draw after falling behind! pleased for edwards to get a goal becauses he's a great defender and never gets the credit he desevers! proccy once again which is good. Drawing away games and winning home games i'd be happy with.

did not hear any of the comentry so can not say about it but i would personally like Ilyas to have more involment nd input by the ASSF ultras and everyone are doing a fine job of there own backs fund raising keep it up everyone! coley jimmy and the players doing there job great on the pitch aswell just need the mess sorted and we will go places. like onwards and upwards.

Re: Port Vale
 

Thats coz I couldn't get my request in on time!!!!

Re: Port Vale
 

just back from the the game and cant believe some comments saying they played poorly. Acci played port vale off the park hitting the post and bar , some of the football was again brilliant and but for conceeding in the fisrt 5 mins would have easily won the game
Port vale relied on set pieces and long balls were acci played from the back and at times pulled vale apart.just a little luck they would have come back with 3 points

Re: Port Vale
 

Those of us dependant on radio could only go off the commentry and was more fight back in 2nd half.

Re: Port Vale
 

A draw was a fair result tonight! Both defences were suspect - Joyce at fault for their first - and the game was not a classic, but 1 - 0 and 2 - 1 down and still a point, cannot be a bad thing. Phils penalty was great - that how to hit them! Proccys equaliser was another great strike, he was one of the better ones tonight. We had chances to nick it at the end, but they had chances at 1 - 0 up, so a fair result and still 12th :D :D :D

Re: Port Vale
 

Howdy
I should have better things to do at this time of night than this, but no rest for the wicked eh?

I hope tonight was a helpful exercise and that at least some information is now out in the open.

I take on board some of the criticism from earlier in the thread, and the buck stops here. If your question wasn't strongly worded enough or asked persistently enough I apologise. I did my best in the circumstances to got through as many questions as possible, get answers that were as clear as possible and also take into account the time constraints.

Rob has just texted me to ask about the possibility of doing an entire feature dedicated to this subject and concept - answering questions from supporters about off the field matters. I'll have to check whether this is going to be possible airtime wise, but it might be a possibility that I can record a longer, more detailed piece and put it on our website...

Anyway, the reason for the post is fundamentally to say that if this goes ahead, you can still get your questions to me. Same as before, email [email protected] or [email protected] - I'm also saving all the questions from tonight, and as promised will forward them on.

As for tonight's game - short on entertainment for me. Stanley played much the better football (it'd be hard to play worse football than Port Vale on this evidence!) but defended pretty poorly at times and weren't quite as coherent as we're now used to seeing. MUCH better than Hereford away, but still a point's a pretty fair result for me...

Lastly, and most importantly thanks for all your contributions (and I hope there's more to come) and thanks very much for listening.

Dan

Re: Port Vale
 

i thought that Stanley were very much in the game but the game itself was fairly poor. any resutl tonight was a fair one - we couldnt complain if we lost, but neither could Port Vale. The last ten minutes was where it was all at though. When we got the 2nd equaliser we could even have gone on to win it, I think it was Miles but might be wrong, who flashed a 30 yarder only inches over the stanchion in the dying seconds. Once again the noise levels were way above what you expect for our small numbers. But we must have had hundreds of fans there as the pie shed had run out of hot dogs and burgers before half time and more importantlym before I got there!

Re: Port Vale
 

Re: Port Vale
 

"there's more noise in Accy library" true

Re: Port Vale
 

Quality!

Re: Port Vale
 

I must have watched a different game ! as even the port vale posters said acci were the best team they have played all season , including the carling cup !

Re: Port Vale
 

I'm intrigued - what did Proccy do in his celebration to peeve them off?

Re: Port Vale
 

read your link, Jase - well done the Ultra's again & again. Would love to join you when Stanley come south, but that drum at close quarters fair bounces my braincell around - so I stick to the seats !

Re: Port Vale
 

my favourite quote

I could still hear all 107 of them singing as I unlocked the car on Moorland Road - and I stayed till the final whistle. They didn't get up and flounce out like tarts when they went 2-1 down a couple of minutes from time. Continued to urge their team on and got what they deserved.

Old fashioned happy clappers. Have an opinion like the rest - but know what their job is during the match.

Proper fans.

decent appraisal of the game from a Vale point of view here

gives a bit of info on the goal celebration incident. scroll right down, the top end is a minute by minute account similar to the BBC text thingie but then it is broken down to a summary shots on target etc

Re: Port Vale
 

Cheers Macca - doesn't sound like Proccy, maybe he'd had some stick beforehand or he was just so relieved to equalise he didn't really think what he was doing.

Re: Port Vale
 

After the game one of thier fans came over to us in the car park & donated to the SOS fund, even though we weren't collecting last night.

Top man, real fan.

Re: Port Vale
 

thats what he did

Accrington Celebration Infront Of Paddock - onevalefan.co.uk

Re: Port Vale
 

Got to say that I thought that Proccy was a little silly to do what he did..

Re: Port Vale
 

Hi,

Thought you guys played well last night but thought a draw was a fair result.

Its the first time I have seen you play and was impressed by the quality you showed. Good passing and movement off the ball and you always seemed to have a spare man to pass to when in possesion.

Your fans have to be appluaded...they were immense they sang non stop through the game even when losing, and out sang our 4000. We're not normally that morbid...

Your lad who scored the equaliser was a bit naughty and celebrated in front of us, maybe it was a rush of blood but I thought he should of celebrated with your fans after the support thry showed.

Anyways, good look with the SOS campaign...i will doante a small sum shortly and good luck for the rest of the season, not when we travel up there tho obviously!

Re: Port Vale
 

Thanks for the post and your show of support :) :) :)

Re: Port Vale
 

This weeks goals from bbc sport.. 6mins 34seconds in vale v stanley..great pen and a cracking proccy goal:)League Two round-up

Re: Port Vale
 

cheers Mab - turn the speakers up and wonder how that much noise (especially straight after it comes on) comes from so few noisy buggers :D

Re: Port Vale
 

:D yep noisy them there ultras ;):D

Re: Port Vale
 

Shrewsbury's goal at 4:35 is good for a laugh. One day it might work for Bobby Grant.

I haven't timed it properly but I think there's slightly more of Accy's match at BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | A | Accrington.
