Horsfield targets Vale promotion

Port Vale assistant manager Geoff Horsfield is aiming to deliver promotion for the club's fans after the FA Cup exploits of rivals Stoke. The Potters thrashed Bolton 5-0 at Wembley on Sunday to reach their first ever FA Cup final and Horsfield is hoping Vale can reach the npower League Two play-offs and win promotion in order to soften the blow of their neighbours' success. Horsfield told The Sentinel: "Sunday will have been a painful day for our fans who watched Stoke get to the final. "But let's hope Stoke win the FA Cup and we win promotion - that would be fantastic for the city."
