Well at least we have a new chant for Port vale it goes something like this
Pete Chambers what a wanker what a wanker
I'll be happy to start it off....
Well to be honest in many ways I found his comments strangely reassuring, not so much for the bitterness he exudes but the utter desperation of his rant. The simple facts that he can't ignore was that last Sunday saw the lowest gate in the club's history, no amount of bile can disguise that simple fact. The overwhelming majority aren't going and will not go. With the colder and darker days this will likely only get worse. The club can't survive long term without 85% of its fanbase, no amount of frothing at the mouth will change that.
Not sure where he gets the idea that going to the forum is only available to season ticket holders, the club have not stated that. Plus if fans are willingly boycotting Sixfields, does he reallythink they will be bothered about a fans forum, which is on local radio anyway ,what desperation.
He is pinning his hopes on ACL folding, and presently there is no sign of that, meanwhile losses for the club steadily mount up. A new stadium, even fans going to Sixfield don't seemingly buy that nonsense.
On the Brandon stadium front, there are stox and Startrax meetings for this year upto a meeting on Boxing day, all these events are run I believe by Sandhu the current owner of the stadium. Indeed tickets are now on sale for the World Stock Car Final to be held at Brandon on Saturday September 20th 2014,a whole year away. Do people really believe Sandhu would allow ticket sales/corporate sales if any stadium sale effectively forced a World Final which is a huge event with people coming from all over Europe to be summarily cancelled.
SISU have already had to backtrack over the academy, undoubtedly something they didn't willingly do, but forced by the commercial reality they faced. They have boxed themselves into a corner, and they are relying totally on ACL folding.
