I tink, but don't quote me but when they were planning Vale Park it was going to be a big feck off stadium rivalling Wembley in capacity.
Obviously that didn't come to fruition.

'Work on the ground started in 1944, on the site of a former clay pit. The development became known as The Wembley of the North due to the planned size of the stadium. The ground opened in 1950. The first match was a 1-0 victory over Newport Country on 24 August 1950 in front of 30,042 spectators'
Ground record is 49,000 plus.

We used to go and watch Vale now and again, but used to sit on a wall outside which gave great views of the pitch,
Once got asked by a copper as we neared our car after being moved off said wall which side we supported, he did not understand the concept of supporting neither team.
We used to pick a local match now and again if Wolves were away and just pitch up and watch it, but this copper was obviously a bit thick, even after our explanation. Eventually his 'superior' let us go...
