BrizzleRed Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 It's always good to keep looking at the positives, so cheers for that Aizoon. We've always got the sags to fall back on if we want to find someone worse than us, but it's comforting to know there's someone other than those muppets who's level of failure can eclipse ours!

22A Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 OK, we've never won any major trophy, but neither have Port Vale, and they were founder members of the Football League! Not quite. Port Vale were original members of Division Two when that started in 1892. They were only there until 1896 when they finished bottom and were not re-elected. They got back in two years later. They then resigned from the League in 1907 but came back in October 1919 when they took over the fixtures of Leeds City who had just gone into liquidation. I've had another look at the history book. In 1968 PV had to apply for re-election after they were expelled from the league for misdeeds off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won the Welsh Cup too - and the Gloucester Cup - and the Crossbar Challenge... To be fair we would have to make note that Port Vale won both the Staffordshire Senior Cup (1920, 2001) and Birmingham Senior Cup (1913). I get the feeling that today's players won't choke or be getting too overawed by the lofty history of both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
