We’re delighted to announce a new partnership between The Knot and Port Vale Football Club.
The Knot is on a mission to bring good news to Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire. They believe that if they can highlight all the good happening in our region, then we can change this place for the better. Each week, they share Good News, What’s On and Things to Do with their readers directly to their email. Easy to read, no clickbait, no misleading headlines and no pop-up ads. Sign up with your email and join 2,800+ others who want to change the narrative on the place we call home.
Port Vale share this purpose and are aligned with The Knot's mission in this region. We have shared roots and a belief in the power of community and bringing people together. We’re both on a mission to tell better stories about Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire. We celebrate the people who care about this place and together, alongside The Vale we believe we can do more of this.
For generations, the club has been a beating heart of Burslem, not just on the pitch, but off it too. Whether it’s tackling food poverty through the Foundation, giving young people a place to belong, or bringing fans together from all walks of life, Vale shows what football clubs should really be about: anchors in their community, a place to feel proud of where you’re from.
In April, Port Vale won the EFL Community Project of the year for our Baby Bank Programme at the Bescura Family Hubb. This is just one example of the work that the club do in the community and one example of a good news story that The Knot wants to amplify with its readers and people across our region.
We both believe in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. We both believe our region deserves better — better coverage, better investment, better chances and of course, better results.
So, what does this actually mean?
From now on, The Knot will be keeping readers updated with relevant Port Vale news, stories and features. That means when there is news from Port Vale, they'll be sharing it. They won’t be covering the stuff on the pitch, latest signings for example or commentary on performances, but anything off the pitch that’s relevant to their readers - they’ll share it.
It also means that The Knot's good news, events, things to do and features will be available to Port Vale supporters. Vale supporters will get access to The Knot through official club channels, with news and events from across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire made more visible to a wider audience who care deeply about the future of this city. The Knot will be embedded on the Port Vale website and in the club app, giving fans easy access to find out good news and things to do in Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas.
We’re excited to tell new stories and shine a bigger spotlight on everything that’s going right in this city.
Up the Vale. Up the Knot.
