A day I'll never forget, celebratory drinks were covered by a cheeky little bet placed five minutes before kick off #pvfc

📸 Three goals on a historic day for the club under the Wembley Arch back in 2022!

Let us see some of your favourite photos from the day in the comments ⤵️

@OfficialPVFC Unacceptable, not a single one fighting for the shirt

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Whenever you need motivation to do those jobs around the house on a Saturday, look no further than #pvfc 🙄 #shit #relegated #railednextweek

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Back to reality with an almighty bump bump tonight. I get that there are tired legs from Sunday, but we haven't even breathed on them, let alone landed a punch. League should be bread and butter, cup run or not #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Can't wait for a time me where I don't feel as though I'm reflecting what's happening on the pitch - just going through the motions watching that shite. Got a feeling I'll be waiting a while - Do I start researching National League grounds just to be safe? #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

We've been bad this season, but my God Burton are absolute shite 💩 #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Defenders switching off and keeper's starting position too deep - normal service is resumed #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

#pvfc so much better today. To a man, they each gave what is expected in the shirt - grit, fight, commitment etc. Don't care if it was ugly at times, what matters now is results (even though I think we're gone anyway)

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

@_hospital_pass I know that it's a separate entity, but I feel like ke the he whole club has take the eye off the ball, so to speak. Main focus should be what is on the pitch, nothing else (until we are established/successful). The stats driven thing is the one that really bothers me though

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

@AleAndValePod and any other #pvfc fans - just wondering whether this season has highlighted the biggest failing of the club overall, that we are trying to do too much too soon. Have we shown why other clubs of our size don't do so much on the community side (not having a dig)...

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

3/ Look around the pyramid, you will notice a pattern to which clubs are half decent on the pitch AND do the really good community stuff. Where we are, it is either or, and ultimately as fans, we're expected to go with it.

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

2/ and do other clubs of our size have this obsession over data? It's seemed to be the be all and end all for us recently, ignoring the most important - what we can all see on the pitch. For me this stuff comes after success on the pitch, not to the detriment of it.

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Embarrassing #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

It's like watching an under 8s side, some of the basics that we get wrong is painful. Anything said to them during the break? 🤷 #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

@unofficial_vale IF any of this is true, then I'm glad to see that there's finally some pragmatism being shown. There's no room in modern football for sentimentality, which is part of the reason why we are here. Anyone looking at us from the outside last summer could see we'd struggle

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

New manager, same piss poor defending/goalkeeping. Roll on summer... #pvfc

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

@AleAndValePod Interesting thoughts about GK. For me, I think we need a bread and butter shot stopper, who also has a long kick to relieve pressure. We're a div 3/4 club, why have we fallen into this trap of tap it around the back? (we're not the only ones) What is the GK main purpose? 🤷

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

#pvfc - horse, stable door, bolted come to mind. Should have gone eons ago, unless new man is already lined up. Otherwise we have to recruit, give time to assess squad, shift deadwood and recruit to give (the slimmest) chance, all within a month. Good job we're already down...

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

Already wound up by #pvfc, but RS doing their best to wind me up further. Vale fans discussing the shit show, only to be interrupted by the borefest that is Mark Robins and a pointless interview with some random player (not ours). Be different if it were the other way around 🤷

[Robbie Harding @Robb13JH]

IF we get a Christmas miracle, and he's gone, I don't want another 'nice' bloke in. What we need is a horrible bastard in who will get us playing out wide (we never use the massive VP pitch to our advantage) and not being afraid to ruffle a few feathers. One can dream... #pvfc
