1. Tell us a bit about yourself & history as a fan? Usual story, old fella took me in the mid 70's. Had the usual peaks and troughs of going to every game some seasons. and none others, depending on what life is dictating at the time. Living in Surrey causes issues now, couldn't make last week when all set as the motorways were jammed, and due to work not sure when I can go again now. 2. How do you expect your team to do this season (including a forecast for a positional finish for the entire season)? Depends entirely on who comes and who stays. If we lose Byrne, Kasim , and Smith and don't get as good in. We'll be bothering the bottom 4. If we keep those and add 2 or 3, then we'll be up the top end again. I think with our chairmen the latter is the more likely at this time. 3. Who should we watch out for (one or more danger player/s)? Byrne, and Obika. 4. What are your thoughts on your manager and his signings this season? I like him, blunt and to the point, now seems to be using other tactical formations other than 3-5-2 now, which is a bonus, as we got rumbled, tail end of last season. Not sure who does the signings, my guess is a mix of manager and chairmen, whoever though can certainly spot the good uns. 5. What are your thoughts on your board & off field club activities? Bar the press thing all good. We're debt free, a new training ground coming, and an ethos that ensures stability, but we all know here, there's always something coming that will bite and bite bad! 6. Which one Vale player would you take past or present to add value to your squad? A peak Robbie Earle would improve any squad down here. 7. How do you expect Vale to do this season? Reading between the lines, I think your chairman has pulled in the purse strings as well, not sure about who you bought in, but the loss of Pope would hurt most teams. I suspect you'll stay up, but don't expect you to figure near the top this season 8. What is your team's most memorable game with Vale (good or bad reasons)? I always remember one mid/ late 70's I think, when you bought about 20 fans, and they were surrounded 2nd half by the full mongness of the town end( you could walk round the ground inside then) I really feared for their lives, but the police somehow got them out unscathed. I think it might have been 2-2, but I mainly watched your fans so might be wrong on that, as it was far more exciting than the game. 9. A score prediction (and potential scorers for both sides)?
I haven't even looked if it's home or away, but either way we seem to have the hoodoo over you last few years. If we're at home, 2-0 to us, if we're away 2-2 draw. Cant see anyone other than Byrne or Obika scoring at the moment.
