If we just maintain it for the next 4 games, against the Vogons :) then 3 teams in the play-off places :eek:, I'll be ecstatic!

Re: Port Vale Match Thread
 

After Forest Green the next 3 fixtures will give us a good idea i think 3 really hard matches.

Kudos to Dave in Germany for his most excellent match report.

Chevy - I think the thing about Rawson is that like the other defenders he rarely puts a foot wrong but also his head is on a lot of high balls.

Reading the Port Vale thread and The Don and Clark appeared to be players singled out for praise. They really rate their new left back (I thought he was outstanding for an hour) and, of course, how they would love Coley as their manager.

I ran to the ground from Stoke train station. Jesus, unremitting 3.5 miles of uphill through some very drab areas. Someone last night told me theirs is the second highest ground in England. If I'd known that I'd have got a taxi.

I agree about Nolan too. He's quietly improving and was effective last night.

Third, according to this:
The Highest and Lowest Stadiums (England and Wales) - Midfield Dynamo.

And only 4 feet above the Wham. I suppose it all depends on your starting point.

vale must like being 2nd as i think at one time they had the 2nd largest playing area in england.

Re: Port Vale Match Thread
 

Their pitch is massive and too much space between terrace and pitch. Feels like you are miles away from the action.

it actually worse years ago when it was very open and looked like a mini version of the old wembley when i first went there in the late 50,s.
