Tags: Soccer Club Season.
The 1977–78 season was Port Vale’s sixty-sixth season of football in the Football League and their eighth successive season (fourteenth overall) in the Third Division. Finishing in 21st place they were relegated to the Fourth Division. Roy Sproson was sacked in October after a poor start to the season though things did not improve under his replacement Bobby Smith despite Smith spending big money to bring in new players. Smith also left the club at the end of the season.
