Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for May 1. The Vale will celebrate promotion, and could be celebrating the title on Saturday in front of their biggest crowd for years.

We’re hearing from chief executive Matt Hancock about the preparations for that game and have talking points from Darren Moore’s press conference.

But that is just a fraction of tonight’s coverage ahead of a momentous day at Vale Park and, just maybe, the club’s first league title for 66 years.
