News Stories for Gareth Owen

74 Days Later Mon 21st Mar 2011 18:37
After an extraordinary, bewildering, brain-burning 74 turbulent days of overwhelmingly appalling and deplorable managment which manifested itself in bust-ups here, there and everywhere, the alienation of coaching staff and players, and an alarming slide down the table Jim Gannon has been dismissed from Vale Park.

We're On Telly Friday Night! Tue 15th Feb 2011 12:17
Our Friday night clash with Bradford City will be shown live on SKY Sports, so let's hope to God that we don't serve up anything as painfully shocking as the first 70 minutes of Saturdays encounter with Northampton Town.

Gaz Owen Out For A Month? Mon 07th Feb 2011 20:54
Defender Gareth Owen looks likely to spend at least a month out of action after suffering a fractured ankle during Saturdays 1-1 draw at Wycombe. Owen will find out tomorrow (Tuesday) exactly what's what when he meets a specialist.

Is A Bee Sting Ever Fatal? Sun 23rd Jan 2011 18:18
What surprises does Jim Gannon have up his sleeve for us on Tuesday evening for the visit of Barnet? Boomer partnering John McCombe at the back in the absence of Gareth Owen? A seven man midfield? Sean Rigg getting a game? Anything, it appears, is possible with Gannon at the helm...

It's Football Jim, But Not As We Know It Sat 22nd Jan 2011 18:48
Three games in charge and three defeats for new Gaffer Jim Gannon with todays 0-1 disaster at home to Cheltenham Town. Not the greatest of starts really. In terms of popularity he's up there with Dean Glover right now as our season continues it's alarming slide with calamity lurking around every corner.

Burton On Tuesday Night Sun 31st Oct 2010 17:34
Beer, Paddy Considine, Marmite and Indie space rockers. Vale make the short trip along the A50 on Tuesday evening to face Burton Albion. Burton are currently 13th in the table and have lost three of their last four games, including yesterdays 2-1 defeat at Macclesfield.

Port Vale 2-1 Crewe Alex Sun 31st Oct 2010 12:09
Vale returned to winning ways with this sparkling victory over our close neighbours and good friends Crewe Alex, and after the inexplicable run of less than impressive form we have displayed recently it was fantastic to see all the players up for this derby game. We were amazing throughout. I have to say, I was slightly apprehensive before the game - Crewe have hit some free-scoring form, but my concerns disappeared almost as soon as the game kicked off. We were definitely 'up for it'.

Everything Will Be Back To Normal On Saturday Wed 06th Oct 2010 18:14
There's a little bit of doom & gloom gathering over Vale after last weekends disappointment at Oxford and last nights inconsequential defeat at the hands of Carlisle in the Paint Pot Cup. Well, fear not, Saturdays trip to bottom-of-the-table Hereford will undoubtedly see us back to winning ways.

Shrewsbury Tonight Tue 28th Sep 2010 08:45
Top-Of-The-League Vale take on second-in-the-table Shrewsbury tonight in a massive game at Vale Park. This fixture has become a little bit 'spicy' over the past couple of seasons, particularly after the game at their gaff a couple of seasons ago when a Marc Richards goal six minutes into stoppage time gave us a 2-1 victory.

We Are Top Of The League! Sat 25th Sep 2010 22:17
Vale went top of League 2 this afternoon courtesy of a magnificent strike from the fantastic Marc Richards and a coolly taken second from Louis Dodds. Is was hard work though, Accrington Stanley showed exactly why they were unbeatable before their trip to Vale Park, frustrating us with a doggedly defensive display in the first half.
