We thought everyone would like to see Vale Park as it was on 31st May 2008. We know you are all itching to get back as over 6,000 of you fine supporters have proved already. We thought we'd better show you the ground empty, because it will be pretty full come August, thanks to you all. In the images we see all sides of the ground and also some of the improvements to the Lorne Street facilities. Since these pictures the pitch is flourishing well and is on course to be up to its usual precision condtion for the new season. Photography Gerard Austin
