Stoke City Holdings Ltd.

What!? Merger style?

Not yet...

Buy Vale, sell Vale Park (take money from sale, money from Vale rent at stadium), slowly integrate businesses to soften people up for merger?

There's no way on earth (I hope) it could work. Who'd go and see a merged club? Depressing stuff.

btw, Port Vale is the nearest football ground to where I was born, but that's Man United supporters for you. (Moved from the potteries to Manchester when I was 9 months old though if that makes it any better.)

Bloody hell. How are the Port Vale supporters dealing with it, Dave?
