Mandy hasn't left, she's just not on the ticketing team.

I think yesterday showed how important Hippo is. I would have him top of the list of getting contract sorted

JAW - when did Mandy leave ? I hadn"t heard she'd gone.

OtD - was it Heneghan ?

What was the attendance yesterday ?

Jocks on tv at 5 later

And fwiw I thought the choice/value from the vans yesterday was much poorer than last season so will look elsewhere more of the time. We've shot ourselves in the foot with it imho.

Repd - the point many made about the food trucks was that if people know they can reliably get decent food they will come early and drink. It's not just a case of adding up how much we make or don't from the vans themselves. Personally yesterday was the first time I've got to the ground early in a while and I was shocked how not crowded the bar and fanzone were. People will eat elsewhere and therefore drink elsewhere.

My uncle has a debenture he’s been trying to sort for 6 months. Now Mandy is gone the response from the ticket office has been very poor.

In fairness, JAW, the club is now starting to nag us debenture types to let them know our intentions well in advance. Apparently some people had even forgotten they had them.

I'm surprised Vale brought relatively few for a trip to the smoke but good that we made the most of it using quite a chunk of the North Stand for our fans.

Record attendance yet loads of empty seats around me. There are 2 seats in front of me that I’ve never seen anyone sit it since we’ve moved to plough lane.

REPD - interesting about the food options. Record attendance at PL yesterday. It’s almost as if a successful team is what drives attendance.

Morning all. SW19 on yesterday now up - [Link]

Yeah both goals were from defensive howlers. We didn't look like scoring at all but the two teams seemed to have cancelled each other out second half. We defo the happier side with the point based on performances tho.

York City away in the FA Cup draw later on please football gods.

TBF our goal was either the defender slipping or slightly pushed by hackford, so evens itself up and after the first half would of taken a draw with 4 good players out.

Their equaliser was a shame as after we scored we had them penned in for spells. Not disappointed with a point given the squad and Vale are in recovery mode after a bad start. Happy with that.

Tomato one of our problems last couple of seasons has been we rarely win the second ball. Especially in midfield. It’s sort of become irrelevant but we really need to sort it.

Decent point with so many missing today. We’re predicted to come 12th in the league now, who’d have thought it. Up the dons, keep battling

Thank goodness for our defense as teh first half was an embarrassing level of lethargy. Smith barely got involved, Bugiel back to his slow and falling phase. Still not a clu8 what Brown offers and the service for Orsi was just appalling. Jake says in the programme they would do anything for 3 points. Well turning up would be a start.

Sad, what a great comic actress she was

RIP Diane Keaton

We were 2nd best to the clodhoppers to virtually every ball in first half

TBH they're a team of L2 clodhoppers, physical and strong, will probably finish mid table, little flare or excitement about them
