Vale Park away guide

Port Vale away end

The away allocation sits on the Bycars End (Hamil Road End), behind the goal. The block runs across the historic terraced end. Port Vale typically offer around 1,800 to 2,200 away places for league fixtures, larger than the League Two norm given Vale Park's 15,000 capacity. Away turnstiles are off Hamil Road, signposted on the walk in from Burslem.

Vale Park bag policy

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.
