Vale Park
Home of Port Vale in Stoke-on-Trent, capacity 15,036. Away fans are in the Bycars Stand, off Bycars Lane, with an away fanzone in the corner. Burslem's heritage-pottery walk is the bonus tourism on the day, build in time.
Also known as Port Vale Stadium.
Vale Park away guide
The Bycars Stand is the one Port Vale designate for visiting supporters, entered at turnstiles 25 to 32 off Bycars Lane, with an away fanzone in the corner beside it. Do not walk round to Hamil Road: that is a different stand on the far side of the ground. Vale Park is cashless throughout, so bring a card. Flags are fine in the away end as long as they have no poles attached and do not cover the sponsors' boards.
Vale Park lists large bags as non-permitted items. Contact the club in advance if you need to bring a pushchair, large flag or accessibility-related item.
Checked 27 May 2026 against Port Vale general supporter guide.
Longport is the nearest station and Port Vale call it a 25-minute walk: up Station Street, on to Newcastle Street to Burslem town centre, and Hamil Road is on your left. Coming into Stoke-on-Trent instead, you need a bus over to Burslem. There are no direct bus routes to the ground at all, but Burslem town centre and High Lane are both served by First and D&G. Matchday parking is pre-book only through portvaleparking.co.uk, open from 3 hours before kick-off until an hour after the whistle: on-site at Synectics Solutions, or Haywood Academy at ST6 7AW about 5 minutes' walk, Dimensions Leisure Centre at ST6 4ET about 10 minutes and the one that takes coaches, and Staffordshire Lads and Dads at ST6 4JF about 20 minutes. Build a Burslem pottery walk into the day if you're early.
