1904–05 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season
Encyclopedia
The 1904–05 season was Burslem Port Vale
's seventh consecutive season (eleventh overall) of football in the Football League
. A poor season, the club had to apply (successfully) for re-election. The club had to continue their policy of selling their best players to survive.
An extremely poor defence saw some embarrassing scorelines away from home, and the lack of a consistent goalscorer was also a cause for concern.
re-signed from Southampton
in September. This return was ended in his second game of the season – a Staffordshire Senior Cup
defeat to Wolves – when he suffered a career-ending injury.
The first game of the season saw 5,000 turn up to witness a 2–2 draw with Manchester United
, this positive start soon ended as despite going their first four games unbeaten, the club had to wait until their ninth match for their first victory. On 5 November 1904, the club's record 29 away games without a win streak came to an end with a 3–0 victory at Grimsby Town
. The next match saw Liverpool
win 2–1 thanks to a goal that never actually crossed the line – the referee had to leave the pitch under escort. Following the sale of key players in December, the form of the "Valeites" took a hit as from 4 December to the end of February they recorded just two victories – both against West Bromwich Albion
. This run included heavy defeats at Manchester United and Burnley
. In February the club's revival was helped by new signing Robert Carter
, as six of the last seven home games were wins. Despite this they still suffered on their travels, taking an 8–1 hammering at Anfield
.
The club finished in sixteenth place, though their 27 points saw them just one point off Blackpool
, and six points off seventh place. Burton United
and Doncaster Rovers
both finished well below Vale, and at the end of the season both Vale and Burton were re-elected.
Dick Allman
was top scorer with a pitiful eight goals, though scoring proved to be a team effort to give Vale a reasonable total of 47 league goals. However in defensive terms the season was awful, their 72 conceded would always guarantee a battle against dropping into the lottery of the re-election zones.
