Can't see how it could work in our favour but..........
Quote........Stoke Sentinal.....
Port Vale are deeply unhappy after their game at Barnet was rearranged for next Tuesday, March 13 (8pm).
The Valiants wanted the game put back until later in the season, but they have been overruled and a decision made by the EFL. The initial game was postponed last Saturday because of a frozen pitch.
That means the Vale face a potentially crucial few days in their battle to stay in the league.
The 22nd-placed Valiants are away to 20th-placed Grimsby on Saturday before the trip to bottom-of-the-table Barnet next Tuesday.

Probably unhappy because their top striker (Pope) is out for a few weeks so if they could've delayed this game he might've been able to play in it later in the season. Just guessing mind.

According to some of the fans on their forum Barnet were not going to offer refunds for the rearranged game until Port Vale got involved.
On that basis alone the illegitimates deserve to get relegated.

I am trying to figure out what would be the best result for us. A Barnet win would bring PV right into the mix, but might keep Barnet on a roll. A PV win keeps Barnet deep in do do. We are hoping that Barnet are a banker to go down.
Maybe a draw is best??

How strange. Who ever heard of a club getting involved to deal with poor treatment of its fans by a Hertfordshire* club. * Pedants Corner: Yes I'm aware the Hive is in Middlesex, but Barnet were originally in Herts.

Ah, the old poor treatment by an away club which we used to think was only non league clubs.... As to who does what....doesn't it depend whether u believe the trust should do all the unpleasant issues the club can't be bothered with .... sorry...Can't intervene with, for a multitude of reasons too complex for me to understand 😆

The ideal result for that game would be a mass brawl, with both teams having several players sent off. The game abandoned due to too few players on either side and then a points fine for both clubs from the League. If Carlsberg did football matches...

I think Vale will be happy with a lose at Town and a win at Barnet, I also thing we would be happy with that, Don't give a toss what Barnet think.

Quoted from The Sentinel | Posted: 6 March 2018
Port Vale’s hopes of having top scorer Tom Pope back for their potentially crucial Easter fixtures have been given a boost after he had a successful hernia operation last night.
The 32 year old had the operation in London and has been told there should be no problems with his rehabilitation.
Pope has revealed the usual recovery time is four to five weeks but he is hoping to be back in action sooner than that. In fact the 16 goal top scorer would like to be in contention for the home game with Chesterfield on Good Friday, March 30, and the game at Crewe on Easter Monday, April 2.

Unfortunately, our top scorer is unavailable as well. Because he's in flipping Shrewsbury.

Made his first appearance as a sub for the last 7 minutes last Saturday away to Brizzle 1-1 at the time until Toto popped up with the Shrews' winner in the 88th minute

Cheers, I`m thinking had we sacked Slade earlier, he and others could have had second thoughts about leaving

I don't think you're too far wide of the mark there Garth.... it wasn't the club they didn't fancy but the regime who didn't fancy them

Hertfordshire effectively "swopped" Barnet for Potters Bar with Middlesex in 1964 so even they were only too glad to get rid of them

I'm confused. Barnet were at Underhill which was in Barnet, Herts (though part of a London Borough and Greater London since the early 60s). And founded in (Chipping) Barnet. Where does Potters Bar (also Herts) come into it?

Potters Bar was in Middlesex and the north end of Barnet (Chipping Barnet) was in Hertfordshire prior to 1964 but this meant that Potters Bar was effectively surrounded by various parts of Hertfordshire. So a swop was done. Potters Bar (which was in Middlesex) became part of Hertfordshire and Barnet became a London Borough as Middlesex was abolished. It's the same reason as Surrey County Hall is in Kingston-upon-Thames (a London Borough)

Thanks. Never knew that about PB. Yeah, it's bloody odd that Surrey CC is still based in Kingston. It wasn't't even the county town. Must be worth their while selling it and building something new in the sticks.
