Port Vale Football Club is a professional association football club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-

Trent, England. The team competes in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league
system. Port Vale is one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a geographical
location, their name being a reference to the valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal. They
have never played top-flight football, and hold the records for the most seasons in the English
Football League (109) and in the second tier (41) without reaching the first tier.[8] After playing at
the Athletic Ground in Cobridge and The Old Recreation Ground in Hanley, the club returned to
Burslem when Vale Park was opened in 1950. Outside the ground is a statue to Roy Sproson, who
played 842 competitive games for the club. The club's traditional rivals are Stoke City, and games
between the two are known as the Potteries derby.
