OVF player sponsorship
We need your support for the OVF Port Vale FC player sponsorship. A consortium of users come together to help this site sponsor a Vale player. You can contribute as little as £10 – you will be able to vote for the player we sponsor and be entered in a lucky draw to attend the club’s official sponsorship event.

What we’ve done…
Established in 1996, multi-award winning onevalefan.co.uk hosts the SW Valiants supporters group and proudly sponsors Port Vale players and matches. We’ve raised £40,000 for the club through competitions and sponsorships. We’ve arranged matchday visits by club legends as well as organising book signings and charity fundraisers. In addition, we’ve raised money for local charity The Dougie Mac through a range of fundraisers.
We’ve published a book (“No Ordinary Season” if you’re interested) and curated a free exhibition of Port Vale memorabilia (2014’s Vale Vaults held at the Barewall Gallery, Burslem).

OVF tries to prevent errors but inevitably some will occur. Over the years it has been moved from multiple servers and as a result, some older content may also need fixing – broken images, links or out of date facts may be in place.
