Making preparations for League One
A look at Port Vale on and off the pitch
Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for June 19.
Not much longer to go. The players are about to return for pre-season, the fixtures are out a week today and the first friendly, at Newcastle Town, is just eight days away.
We’re looking at talking points on and off the pitch as the Vale prepare for the 2025/26 season. We’re also looking at where you expect Darren Moore’s side to finish as they return to League One after a 12-month absence.
But as usual that’s just part of the newsletter with plenty more news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.
