    They’ve swapped the ends around for Away fans apparently. Last season we were able to use their social club behind the stand at HT but that’s now for Home fans only.
    Yes, I noticed that on the EFL highlights show earlier this season - would be like us putting home in Jimmy Seed stand and away in Covered End - weird - maybe it’s how away were placed originally, or on Police request

    I actually quite like Vale Park

    Yeh it’s not bad, It’ll be about my fifth visit, first was Easter time 1992 midweek when Gritty scored a 25 yarder for a 1-1 draw . We were situated in the far left hand corner as you looked out from last seasons away end. Visit after that was the late penalty (won by Danny Mills?) winner 1998.

    Just watched the Apples preview of this...8 and a half minutes of oblique drivel about 'the group' and 'performances', with unrealistic optimism.

    I think they redeveloped the stand and the bit behind it has space for a fan zone, so it’s nicer than the other end. So makes sense to not give the away fans the best bit

    P V are on the same points and games played as us, they have won one more game and lost two more .. sooooo, pretty even Stevens .. however, they don't score many and have a far inferior goal difference .. probably (Y A W N) a nailed on draw .. I will not be making the cross country trip this season for this one

    Appleton has said he's 50/50, whilst Chem Campbell is a doubt after rolling his ankle against Oxford

    Winning, particularly away from home, with a team incapable of keeping a clean sheet is very, very difficult. It’s hard to imagine any route to three points on Saturday - but sometimes when you least expect it is when Charlton surprise you the most (that’s about the only straw available to clutch). 

    Under normal circumstances you would say that having the most lethal striker in England back in our team would be crucial, but with Appleton who knows, will probably pick Alfie in goal if he’s fit. 

    Going to this one, mainly for the 92. How long do I have to stay at a match in order for it to count?!
    Don’t worry about that, I could be leaving the ground before you do as I’ll be in the home end 😉.

    Freedom pass on the bus for this one mate?  That'll save on the petrol <3

    Yes, the ground is alright, I cannot say the same for Burslem.

    Looking at League Table we should not be trailing some of the teams above us at the moment. Perhaps one or two at the top we cant compete with but we should be ahead of say Orient and Northampton - apologies to their fans but we are simply not good enough.

    I remember back in the day when the club organised free coach travel to Port Vale for an important promotion match. They ended up hiring any coach with four wheels and we were on some clapped out old banger - but we got there. Port Vale then tried to charge the club for parking the coaches. I believe they were told politely to go away.
    Port Vale took Charlton to court for the parking charges - and won.
