Supporter Forum and Open Training Session confirmed

Supporter Forum

We are delighted to confirm dates for two upcoming supporter engagement events at Vale Park, in preparation for our 150th anniversary season.

Following the publication of our 2025/26 Supporter Engagement Plan, we will host a Supporter Forum on the evening of Thursday 24th July (7pm start), with Chair and Co-Owner Carol Shanahan OBE, First-Team Manager Darren Moore, and CEO Matt Hancock in attendance to answer your questions. 

Tickets will be free-of-charge and available via our e-Ticketing platform, with supporters of all ages welcome. The event will not be streamed, but updates will be available on our official X account.

We are also pleased to confirm an open training session on the afternoon of Monday 28th July (arrivals from 1pm), giving supporters of all ages the opportunity to see Darren and the players prepare for our return to League One, before our final pre-season game away to Altrincham. 

The Railway Paddock will be open for the event - which will be followed by a signing session - with refreshments available from the kiosk.

Matt Hancock said: "Engaging with and listening to our supporters has been a real priority for us over the last 18 months, and we're looking forward to both of these upcoming events, which are another opportunity for us to connect ahead of such an important year for the club.

"We're all excited to see as many supporters as possible down at Vale Park as we get ready for our anniversary season."
