PORT Vale are reducing prices to £9 for adults and £6.50 concessions for the crucial home clash against promotion rivals Burton Albion on Friday, April 5.

Fans will also be able to enjoy a pint in Tommy Cheadle's bar, priced at £1, from 6.15pm until kick-off at 7.45pm.
Number one hits from 1994 will be blasted throughout Vale Park during pre-match and at half-time, while the club will also be inviting back players from both the 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons to celebrate not only promotion to what is now the Championship, but also the 20th anniversary of the club's Wembley win in the Autoglass Trophy.

As part of the promotion, home shirts are on sale from £19.94 until April 5.
The club is also offering 20 per cent off in the club shop on all other merchandise for the Easter period, up to and including the Burton game.
The club will also be giving fans the chance to win season tickets at 1994 prices.
Photos will be taken of five supporters during the Burton game and tweeted the following day at @OfficialPVFC, with one fan winning a free season ticket and the other four offered the chance to buy one at the 1994 price of £127.
The club will also be handing out clap banners before the game, courtesy of sponsors techmanagementuk, from Stoke.
Vale chairman Paul Wildes said: "The Burton game is a critical one for us and it would be great if we can fill Vale park with as many fans as possible.
"This is about celebrating our past and supporting our future.
"It will be great to remind everyone of the successes of 1994, but we also want to create our own success.
"It would be great if we can do that sooner rather than later, but we are not taking anything for granted.
"That's why the support of our fan-base is critical to the club.
"Hopefully, everyone will come down, reminisce about old times and back the team for our penultimate home game of the season."
The ticket offer is not available to visiting supporters.

“I'll be there! Not sure about the shirt but the admission prices (less than half-price) should surely attract the missing fans.”

“You can't fault their effort, now let's get behind the team and show the new Board a great turnout to encourage more initiatives like this one (and hopefully more investment in next year's squad).
Up the Vale!!”

“Paul and Norm certainly know how to connect with their customers.. 55 years a Vale supporter and I can't recall a period when I was filled with more optimism for the future.. Ohhh the ups and downs of being a football fan :-)”

“What a difference the new owners are making. What an offer and a way to show the fans what they are all about. Good luck to them.”
