Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for May 9.

We’ve got an interview with head groundsman Steve Alderson looking at work on the main and training pitches this summer.

There’s also a look at what you expect from the Vale next season, views on the Hamil switch and the atmosphere, news of Valiants up and down the leagues, our fan-in-focus, a dramatic end to the campaign 20 years ago and lots more news, analysis and opinion.
