Hello and welcome to our Monday evening edition of The Valiant for April 28.

We’re hearing from owner Carol Shanahan as she reflects on promotion and looks forward to next season in League One. There is also news of Vale making history after the home ends sold out for Saturday’s home game against Gillingham.

But that’s just part of tonight’s edition with plenty more news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.

To celebrate Vale’s promotion, we’ve got a 50% offer for a first year’s subscription to The Valiant for new subscribers. That offer is available until Wednesday and means, for £20, readers will get a minimum of 150 editions over 12 months from the day you sign up. There’s also a monthly option and a free trial available.

If you’d like to see more about what we do, our 200th edition was free and is available here.

If you are already a subscriber then thanks for your support and please read on for edition number 275.

Keep reading with a 7-day free trial
