Vale face extinction


Port Vale entertain Stockport at Vale Park on Sunday


Port Vale could be playing their last match when they take on Stockport at Vale Park, report BBC Radio Stoke.

Vice-chairman Charles Machin says the club could cease to exist if a deal with prospective new owner Gianni Paladini is not concluded by Monday.

But, captain Sam Collins says Vale need to concentrate on the match and build on the win over Sheffeild Wednesday.

"If we do that we will be in a great position going into the New Year," said Collins.

Doesn't look good for them, I've no desire to see another team go under, except Palace of course:salute:

I saw on the BBC Midlands news that the deal with Paladini was as good as signed. They even said he was injecting money for players etc. That was on a couple of days ago.

One of my colleagues at work is a County supporter, whist another is a Vale supporter. Both report that they are not out of the woods yet.

Good luck to both of these clubs. They need it.

I think there's a rule that a company cannot go into administration twice in a twleve month period - so unless they fold the club someone's going to have to put there hand in their pocket ...........

.......anyway, back to slagging off that C*** Williams
