PrivateDerby Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My mam is a foster carer, last week she took in an 8 year old girl on an emergency placement, the poor ducks been through more **** than most adults but she's bloody bomb proof!Anyway, she got some terrible news yesterday which would be wrong of me to discuss on here. Called in this morning and she's sat in the garden in the sun, chatting away to herself. I started messing around with a football and she says "you're not a Stokie are ya"..."no mate Derby, who are you?"..."Vale" Cut a long story short, got her in the car, short drive to Burslem, into the ticket office, quick word with one of the lads in private and in seconds we were on the pitch, in the tunnel, in the dug out, in the stands! Met two players, had a load of photos and got a shirt! Top notch Vale, made a little girls problems disappear for half an hour.Best team in the West Midlands.

Cisse Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This is what I have been tellig here for years. Port Vale is a top club. That's why they are my favourite team right after us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah they're a proper community club, fans are friendly and realistic.I was slightly put off Vale a few years ago after winning a signed shirt in a raffle. Signed by Robin Van Der Laan they said, signed by Robbie Williams they said... was it heck, think they passed it round the office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
