| "Wembley of the North??" |
| Vale Park, centre of the earth, the 'Wembley of the North', etc, etc. It's a 3 and half sided ground, we've been building the main Lorne Street Stand for that last 10 years (or something), not much changes. Super wide pitch and some of the stands are a bit away from the pitch. The Away End (Hamil Road) probably has the best view and best toilets. The pies are notoriously cold in the home ends of the ground. Meanwhile visiting teams will generally enjoy one of the best surfaces in League One. Getting away after the match is fairly painless although that may be due to our c. 4500 crowds. |
