Really enjoyed the coverage over the last year Mike, the best its ever been on vale. Totally agree with the comments about the comment section aswell. I don’t put any opinion on social media because there is someone who will always pick fault, but on here it’s been balanced and fair, not everyone agrees but it’s never abusive. Just signed up for year 2. Although I do still blame you for the drop in form! We were top when you started. 🤔 😂

Yes. Been a success as far as I’m concerned. Hope the owners are happy with it and want it to continue.

Great that you don’t appear to have a space restriction on here, unlike in the paper version, which I also buy every day.

I hope next May that picture of the two of us (do we get paid image rights?) at Wembley can be replaced by another, assuming we have not already been crowned League Two Champions. Only fans something like my age will remember our last title, in 1958/59.

One of the things I like about the comments section is the lack of childish personal abuse you often witness elsewhere. People tend to play the ball rather than the man (can you say ‘man’ these days?).

All the best Mike. You almost give the impression of liking this work!

Keep on keeping on Mike. You do a great job. And I agree with other contributors that folks who chip in with comments do so constructively and add value. Like others, I find that on the usual social media outlets there’s always a curmudgeon or three and folks who seem driven to be negative. Five stars!!

One thing you might like to write about is a feature on songs. Maybe the favourite songs sung to players, funny chants etc. I’m keen to improve the atmosphere at Vale as I don’t feel like we sing enough. I love how some of the foreign teams fans sing all game whether they win or lose. Let’s face it as a Vale fan we don’t win that often so we should enjoy the experience more!

Love it Mike. The comments are great as well as the people are 99% fair in their opinions and comments. Much better than seeing all the negative and abusive messages on X or Facebook. 🎂
