    Port Vale Match Off

    I drove down to Devon from the Potteries on Monday morning without any problem but having seen the feather worecast on Monday evening, I very much suspected the game would be off. I was staying a couple of nights in Torquay where there was very little snow but on Tuesday afternoon, I drove out...

    Tonights game is off

    We certainly have a vacancy! In the 92-93 season I came down to St James's twice in a fortnight for midweek games - Autoglass and League - but at least that was in the warmer weather and they were both played! By the way ... I really am female and I really am old!

    Tonights game is off

    My apologies. I came on here to try and explain what it felt like to have travelled 400 miles in the freezing cold and seen nowt but the Debenhams sale! I wasn't aware I was "giving it all that" - just telling you of my experiences with your club and to be fair, some of you lot have agreed...

    Tonights game is off

    I'm always suspicious of people who claim to have very high IQs but can't read what is posted and have only a limited grasp of basic grammar and punctuation. You can post what you like now though, mate. I make it a rule never to argue with idiots.

    Tonights game is off

    Listen, youth, I have posted on this Board in a respectful manner and have pointed out in my original message that I have absolutely no gripe with your fans. I now find I am being responded to by a patronising oik like yourself. You have made three basic errors in your post. 1. Your ground...

    Tonights game is off

    I understand that but the fact that I couldn't get through simply added to the frustration. I also can't understand why your groundsman thought the patch in front of the stand which hadn't thawed by 1 pm was going to be OK in the second half when the sun went down. It was absolutely freezing...

    Tonights game is off

    The ref saw the pitch for the first time when he arrived at the ground which was well after noon. I assumed this was his normal arrival time. The problems with your phone system were not the reason why I couldn't get a reply. I read about them on your website and it said that the fault meant...

    Tonights game is off

    The Vale fans, however, were faced with a long and wasted journey. This was made worse by the fact that a member of staff at Exeter told me on the phone on Friday that the game was certain to go ahead, even when I pointed out the predicted very low overnight temperatures. It also reflected...
