Fans' comments
- Jack on Former Port Vale midfielder – you could end up locked in a skip for half an hour: “So true what is being said about bullying as stated it happened in all walks of life. It did to me in football and in my life as an apprentice plumber. It's so, so wrong. I remember every one of the bullies names 55 years on. Well done, you were a great player to watch.” Feb 26, 11:36
- Phil Yeomans on Port Vale sign defender Mitch Clark for a second loan spell: “I think Mitch will give us more options particularly at left back he will give more a defensive strength and allow Montano to be available in a more attacking position where he is better suited. Gibbons has done very well at right back but it will keep him on his toes however he continues to put in top performances.” Jan 30, 19:39
