- The Potteries Derby | Stoke City Vs Port Vale | #SCFC #PVFC
Rivals day! A great day of cycling (covering 118k in total) exploring the stadiums of the two teams that form the Potteries derby - Stoke City and Port Vale. This video looks at the unique rivalry between these two historic clubs, a quick stadium tour of each ground, the journey between the two stadiums and even an interview with the Port Vale owners' son!
The ride began in Stoke as I headed down Stanley Matthews Way to the bet365 Stadium. I had a good look around, did the usual loop of the stadium where possible (some access restricted) and spoke to one of their loyal supporters and staff members (cheers, John!), before then heading off to Vale Park via loads of gravel tracks, tunnels, canal tow paths and more.
At Vale Park, I was just about to do a loop of the ground when I bumped into the club owners’ son, Paddy. He let me into the ground, brought me down the tunnel (which, let me tell you is massively atmospheric!) and then pitchside in the dugout. What an absolute legend!
Finally, after the loop of Vale Park it was time to begin the bulk of all that cycling back home to St Helens via Crewe, where I even managed to pay a very brief visit to Crewe Alexandra's stadium too - I'll cover that one another day.
All-in-all, I really enjoyed this ride and my time in Stoke - a really friendly place with both sets of fans clearly passionate about their clubs. Which two rivals would you like to see me cover next? Leave a comment below and let me know.
Great watch, two traditional clubs for working class pottery people.
Stoke city fan here
4:23 I'm off to Vale Park, what can I expect? Not much.
8:23 It's massive!!!
Great video mate! Honestly our club is such a good community club and would do anything for our community… it’s great how you got a little look around the ground. The owners and the owners family are brilliant with the club too… couldn’t ask for better owners. Glad you enjoyed going around vale!
Cheers mate - definitely got that vibe while I was there. As a neutral, it's just good to see a troubled club back in good hands again. Good luck for the rest of the season!
Stoke fan here but honestly Vale owners are brilliant people. So much charity work and they are brilliant people, and both clubs have that community club feel
@@dantaylor79 huge respect for that 👊🏻
Thanks for the tour!
Enjoyed it a lot.
Many thanks.
Brilliant video mate, loved it!!!
Very enlightening, thank-you
My team (Cheltenham) will be visiting Vale Park next Saturday. Hope they go easy on us. Thumbs up for the video.
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks
Well done paddy but up the potters
Port Vale in Australia...thanks for this lovely to see how the stadium has progressed and glad you experienced the genuine hospitality of Potteries folk
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it down under! 👍🏼
This ground was built to be proposed Wembley of the North but never progressed due to lack of funding had a record attendance of 59 000 against liverpool
My late mother was one of the tea ladies at stoke from 1967 to 1975 at The Old Vic , of course she met the great players of that period
Great vid mate, but it’s Stoke all day for me, was nice to see a neutrals perspective on the grounds, UTMP 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Cheers mate. Two very different grounds but thoroughly enjoyed visiting both 👍🏼

UTMP !
8:42 I was about to comment that I am pretty sure that’s the owners son!
Odd quirk, the only top flight game to be played at Vale Park was a Stoke home fixture when the roof blew off the Butler Street stand at the old Victoria Ground.
Love this fact! 1976 - Stoke v Middlesbrough at Vale Park. Great shout 👍🏼
@@CyclingwithPaul love the video and the best teams in Merseyside here is one for you best teams in west Lancashire
Up the Potters 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

I was a mascot for Stoke when I was younger and my face was put on the front of the Stoke shop (:
That was great.... Fair play to paddy....
Great video...Glad you got a tour of Vale Park, Our club is great. Up the vale!!!
Go on stoke
UTV
Are year 6 class went at pot cald f2f to do a math competition and in year 4 we all went it watch a match at stoke city fc
Of course the bet365 is a better stadium due to the league difference but you cant help but admire vale park for a l2 club
I’m a Stoke fan and I agree with u
😂😂😂😂 Stoke are a better club all round regardless of the stadium SCFCall the way
Vales ground is in a far better location & easier to get to
@Keith Johnson it's easy to get to and a stone's throw away from the town centre....just like thee old victoria ground was at stoke I prefer those type locations just my opinion
@Keith Johnson yes they just build um where ever there is land I like thee old fashioned grounds that are near the town centre but it's all personal choice at thee end of the day
Brilliant. UTV.
Brilliant video especially the Wembley of the North goo arn Vale
Up the Vale.Vale have done more work on the ground now
Stokes stadium is way better in my opinion
Maybe cuz the one of the richest families in Britain own it,the coated family

Only at PVFC will you find such welcoming which is purely down to our wonderful owners.
I live opposite the vale ground but am a Stoke supporter 👍🏻 come on the potters, down with the vale 😂
Grow up lardie
UP THE VALE
UTV! Good choice. Port vale are the better team, family club.
Ahaha good joke 🤣 national league for vale soon can’t wait
Next joke.
League 2
@@Ethan-eg1do hehe 4th in the league
Not for long when we go up and you go down in League one ☝️ we will beat you and you will go down the league two
Well, we did it. UTV
League 1 it did work out
Stoke are. Better vale get batterd
You need to give your bike a good wash and scrub up after visiting Vale. Your clothes are probably beyond redemption. I would just chuck them straight in the bin. I hope you didn't shake hands with any of the unwashed while you were there.
you clearly didn't see the hand sanitiser on the wall but okay and if your a stoke fan still 4-0 doesn't matter if it was u23's doesn't change the score
@@jaylow3126 played are under 10 if we played are main team it would be over 7-0
Bet 365 Stadium had to have people working to clean up. Where Vale Park was spotless considering its age, even exterior walls looked like they had been pointed. i searched the trophy game that was talked about in this and i read stoke fans were smashing toilets. its amazing how polite and well spoken you see the Vale fans talk in these comments, yet all i see Stoke fans do is be bitter. Why is this if Stoke City are the better club? i think i give the Vale fans the win. so Vale beat you on the pitch, beat you off the pitch, beat you in hospitality, beat you in ground history, beat you by having the better fans...how does it feel to have those unwashed hands fisting you sir?
Up the Valeeeeee!,,,,,
Yer, the Vale supporters ratepayers paid for that unfinished tat of a stadium, and that's tha truth FACT, check it out Lardies.

Derby 2 Stoke 0........up the Rams
