About Vale Park

Vale Park

Vale Park stands as a testament to classic English football culture in the historic pottery town of Burslem, serving as Port Vale's cherished home since 1950. The stadium underwent a thoughtful renovation between 1989 and 1998 to create an intimate all-seater venue that brings fans remarkably close to the action, with a capacity of around 16,000 passionate supporters on match days. For visitors seeking an authentic slice of lower-league football heritage away from the glitz of the Premier League, this unpretentious Staffordshire ground offers the genuine atmosphere and community spirit that defines traditional English football.
