Episode 39: James Plant he's one of our own
Season 1, Ep. 39
•
Episode 39 of Moorlands Sport Extra is out for you to listen to.
On this week’s episode, we catch up with our Port Vale reporter Mike Stubbs following the conclusion of the Sky Bet League One season.
We discuss the season as a whole for the Vale and, look back on the defeat to Plymouth Argyle on Sunday as the Green Army picked up the League One title.
The Vale released their retained list earlier this week, so Mike helps us to dissect the list of who will be staying and who will be going and, if there were any surprises on the list.
Finally, Sunday was the last time Vale fans were going to be housed in the Bycars stand as the club has taken the decision to move Port Vale supporters into the Hammill Road End for next season. It’s an end of an era for many, including Mike, so we look back on some of the great moments that Vale fans in the Bycars stand would have witnessed.
