Welcome to edition 298 of The Valiant. Pic by Pete Stonier

Hello and welcome to our Monday evening edition of The Valiant for June 23.

We’re talking all things Vale as the new season begins to loom large. After all, the players are back in training, the opening game is just 40 days away, the new fixtures are out on Thursday, a keeper has been linked and the friendlies kick off at Newcastle Town on Friday.

We’ve got talking points on and off the pitch, news from around the league, are talking to onevalefan founder and editor Rob Fielding and have lots more news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.
