PORT VALE

Vale Park (capacity 19,052)

Port Vale are one of the minority of clubs that are not named after a place, and instead are named after the valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal. The club hold the unenviable record of playing the most seasons (105) in the English Football League without reaching the top flight. They have played at Vale Park since 1950.

With the exception of the Lorne Street Stand, all stands are single tiered with supporting pillars which can obstruct the view if you are in the wrong seat. However, the average attendance is somewhat lower than the capacity so this has rarely proved an issue. The Lorne Street Stand is the newest, although it has yet to be completed.

Away fans visiting Vale Park are located in the Bycars Stand, with a maximum allocation of around 4,500

The nearest station to Vale Park is actually Longport, though it isn’t frequently used by away fans as not many trains stop there nowadays. The best option is Stoke-on-Trent railway station, though a bus or taxi (around £12) are the only realistic options as it is over 4 miles away from Vale Park.

For high profile games, a football special bus is available at a cost of just £3. However, if this is not available then the number 7/7A/7B/7C run regularly from Stoke-on-Trent Bus Station through to Hanley Bus Station and then to Burslem town centre. When you reach Burslem, get off at Westwood Street and cross the road before turning right into Jenkins Street. This leads into Hamil Road where you will see the stadium approach on the left.
