Away Fanzone located inside the bycars stand (enter through the turnstiles) where you can buy alchocol, snacks, hot food, etc (within the stands you will find the toilet facilities). Here you will find a specific container for draught beer and cider.
Please note that Tommy Cheedle’s and the Staffordshire University FanZone are predominately a home supporter area however look at more information before attending the game.
Please check out the Port Vale website and social media channels for more information for what’s on offer during your visit to Vale Park as some offerings might change on a match-by-match basis.
Food and Drink
Turnstiles will open 90 minutes before kick-off. In the stadium you will find refreshment kiosks with a hot and cold menu in all three home supporter stands (Lorne Street Stand, Railway Stand and Bycars Stand).
Pubs and Matchday refreshments
Just outside the away turnstiles is a Club Bar called the 'Vale Social'. Otherwise the choice of pubs for visiting supporters to drink in near to the ground or in the town centre is very limited, as many admit home fans only.
Hot and cold drinks are available in the concourse as well.
