    That keeper we had on trial at the Chorley game has signed for Spennymoor. Seen a Fax fan online saying that Maher is going back to them.

    Played all right at Guiseley did Wilson, and put in the best corner of the game.

    Let's be honest though, he doesn't have the presence in the squad to take over set piece duty when captain Richie insists on talking at least half of them!

    Shame really. Think he can do well. But agree, he's most likely to leave on loan, possibly to NLP.

    He was already at Spennymoor - looks like he wasn't able to secure a deal/trial other than playing for us against Chorley.

    It really is embrassing that we are giving shirts too, and even considering absolute dross that ends up at Spennymoor and Halifax. Surely their CV's are enough to tell you they aint good enough.

    What does the club hope to achieve by looking at trailists vs Chorley and Guiseley? Surely any trialist should be looked at vs teams from L2 or even L1.

    We were probably the only ones who could potentially afford him. What with the increased budget.

    Another good signing for Port Vale. They are splashing the cash this summer.

    Yes, but have they got First bus continuing as an official partner for the new season? I think not. #priorities.

    I’d love us to go and find a striker who’s 22 and bagged 1 in 2 last season and stick them on a 3 year contract. I suppose a competent scouting team is just a fantasy.

    Whose cash? They ain’t got any. Maybe they are putting up the ground as collateral?

    FYI the owners the Shanahans accepted a £180m investment into their fintech business earlier this year.

    I'd settle for any part of our set up to be competent.

    A show of intent from their owners. Thing is it won't take much of an investment to get out of this division and after being relegated it puts a bit of faith back in the supporter base.

    Are they paying off the club debt at the same time with the proceeds?

    First google says they are still in debt, so looks like it’s paid off and same reports they purchased the ground? Sounds familiar ? Maybe not?

    Vale Park was purchased years ago.

    The "debt" is to themselves (Shanahan's) These are people who've used the hospitality facilities at Vale to cook and dish out over a million free meals over the last 4+ years to people struggling in poverty. Vale are indebted in a way that it will be written off without ever being called in, they have said that themselves.

    First bus is exactly the type of sponsor we need

    imagine the marketing . ‘Kerching’ when we make a signing and when we sell off the kits 2 for 1 it will be kerching a saver strip
