Hi all port vale fan here in peace!
Sorry for the bad draw for you guys but I'm sure it's winnable for you without doubt. We're a decent side and well organised as you'd expect for a Micky Adams side. I'd imagine the crowd will be about 4500 I'd the prices are about £15!
To be honest I don't like playing sides a league lower simply because you lads will turn up, no pressure and relish the chance to take on a side above and prove you can cut it in league 2, which I know and hope you get back to soon!! Proper club Grimsby unlike these Crawley towns etc...
I remember the 90s when grimsby and vale perhaps punched above our weight in division 2 but it would be great to see us both ther one day!..
I will keep in touch and any questions fire away and I'll happily reply.
Thanks to rob Sedgwick for getting me started on this good forum!!
Thanks
Maybe, or we'll make our own pressure for ourselves and gift you a goal or 5! Hopefully our cup form will differ from our league form though, we could really do with a good run.

Well you might have been punching above your weight in division 2 in the '90s. Welcome!
Always know Grimsby as a footballing side who like to play. Are you still like that in the blue square or gone more physical? It'll be a proper cup tie I'm sure! How many will you bring? 500 or so ?

And a few in between.
You're thinking of Boston.

Without being disrespectful yes we are happy with an home draw against a side one division below us, but that means absolutely nothing in this great cup. If for example we had drawn bury away who are a league higher we wouldn't be thrilled but we would go there and give them a game.
We are strong at the back with 3 big solid centre halfs who have not a great deal of pace amongst them. We're steady I'm the middle and scoring alot of goals with star striker Marc Richards up front who is the main threat!
We lost at high flying Oxford yesterday and Richards missed an 80th minute penalty which would of been a much deserved point. I think we will make the play offs but I love the fa cup and can't wait for a week on Saturday.

The goal that beat you yesterday was a one-off! If he tries that a hundred more times, it'll never come off! Hate it when that happens!

Totally agree and combine that with us missing the late penalty we feel pretty hard done to say the least.. We have got Swindon at vale park Saturday then the cup game week after which will be a good game. Who is your main threat then this season? Any players watch out for etc...

Liam Hearn (ST, see my sig) is much better than this level and was a hell of a buy for us. He scrored 2 hatricks in consecutive games and has a nice touch. The good news for you though is that he just doen't look quite the same player away from home. Actually, the good news for you is that THE WHOLE TEAM don't look quite the same away from home!

liam hearn for one of them but he hasnt been finding his away form yet, this youngster weve got on loan from hull who looks pretty decent and disley who has the odd bad game but isnt afraid of diving into a tackle. Good luck to you but a win or at least a draw for us......I hope COTD

I think I'm right in saying that all Hearn's 10 goals this season have been at home.
