Is it similar to Stoke then? Never been there or even know where it is…..

It's in the potteries built up area , it's seen by outsiders as a suburb of Stoke but it's it's own little town really

I think Leige was the game before Port Vale away , hence the police horse on the pitch

Liege was a couple of weeks later.

The August and September of that year was a total fuuckdoodle for me watching City. Not saying I wasn’t responsible but you live and learn.

Fulham, Port Vale, Liege and then Blackpool.

So why did the police at port vale have the cavalry on the pitch ? Was it due to Fulham away ......and I have seen far worse

I’m assuming there was a police presence at Port Vale due to the antics in Fulham and there were a number of locals who seemed quite happy to get their hands dirty on the day?

It was my birthday the day after the Vale game and as was the tradition at the time I was hopelessly under the influence of alcohol and drugs. I can’t remember a police horse at all. City were on a bit of a high after the Fulham win and as usual any smidgeon of success we all got really giddy with it all. We were even pulling crowds of over 6000 for matches in Ninian Park

Heady times.

I went to the 6-1 game , but there was more bother at a later Port Vale game in 93

Stoke on Trent is made up of several towns, which collectively form the City. Burslem being one of them, which is where Vale Park is. Most Vale fans tend to come from Burslem and Tunstall. I lived there for a few years a long time back, and it was a very insular, odd place back then. But a lot of heavy industry had shut down, the Potteries was in decline and it was fairly deprived.

My one and only trip to Burslem.

Same for me, my only trip to Port Vale … missed Cardiff’s goal as in toilet, still got the programme :thumbup:
