The Football League

This site has now set up a link with The Football League who are providing me wiht all sorts of different iformation regarding Port Vale and The Football League itself.

Today they have announced a poll to compile the greatest League Cup moments as the competito reaches it's 50th birthday.
Over recent seasons Port Vale haven't had much luck in the competition but this year got to the 3rd Round after wins Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday. While in 2006/07 they reached the 4th round eventually bowing out at White Hart Lane to Premier League opponents Tottenham Hotspur.

But fans may still remember so great cup moments and you can register your vote Here

Lincoln

Vale travel to Lincoln tonight in the first game of an action packed December.
Geoff Horsefiled and Louis Dodds will be looking forward to a return to the club where they kick started their football careers.
While the Imps have former Vale midfielder Chris Herd who is enjoying another spell on loan from Aston Villa.

Midfielder Tommy Fraser serves the last game of his three match suspension. Defender Gareth Owen is out as he still recovers from a fractured cheekbone that has recquired surgery.

This will be the last game of Lewis Haldane's loan spell from Bristol Rovers but he may only have a few weeks to wait for a return to Vale Park should Mickey Adams choose to sign him when the transfer windown opens in January.

Huddersfield

The Valiants bowed out of the FA Cup at the weekend at home to Huddersfield. A single strike from Nathan Clarke in the 13th minute proved ulucky for the Valiants. However it could have been a different story if Vale striker Marc Richards had composed himself a little more in front of an open goal.

Vale evenly matched a Huddersfield side litterd with talent and a league above Micky Adams' side but it wasn't quite enough to put them in the hat for round three.

Richards was brought off with ironic cheers from the Vale crowd and player/coach Geoff Horsefield brought some experiene to the striking force.

By Gully for that

Port Vale came from behind at home to Torquay last night to secure their 9th draw of the season.
Vale took the lead through a strike by Doug Loft, his first strike of the season after ten minutes but Torquay hit back with a stunning reply.
Defender Gareth Owen and midfielder Louis Dodds both left the field, for reasons that are yet unknown, tactical or injuries.
Scott Rendell gave the away side the lead in the 67th minute but it was super sub Rob Taylor who hit a spectacular ball that ensured the Valiants got a point from the game
It marked an early debut for on-loan striker Sean Rigg who only joined the Valiants early in the day but he will be cup tied for Saturday's FA Cup clash at home to Huddersfield.
The final whistle brought a smattering a jeers from the Vale Park crowd and it is looking to be a tough week for Adams and he admits he was disappointed with his side's performance Read here for more
