THE STOKE-ON-TRENT ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Vale Park

Vale Park is an association football venue located in the area of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. It is a site defined by its seating and structure, having undergone renovations during 1989–1998 to become an all-seater stadium. This facility exists to host matches, specifically as the home ground of Port Vale Football Club since it opened in 1950. Depending on how the seats are managed, you can pick out different crowd sizes; the capacity is 15,695 for unallocated seated games, but it rises to 16,800 for matches with allocated seating. I've seen plenty of balls fly over these walls from the air, but they are usually footballs rather than golf balls. It is a landmark of sport in the local area that brings together thousands of people for the love of the game.
