Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for June 5.

We’re looking at Vale’s media team, how a signing is announced and some of the work promoting the club as it prepares for the 150th anniversary season.

But that’s just part of tonight’s edition after Mitch Clark signed a new deal, Lee Bradbury departed for Dagenham and Redbridge, there’s been a new arrival in the recruitment department and both Vale and owner Carol Shanahan have been given the freedom of the city.

There’s that and plenty more news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia in this evening’s edition. If you are interested in subscribing, we offer a minimum of 150 editions over 12 months from the day you sign up. That’s less than 27p each for that £40 fee.
