The 1985–86 season was Port Vale's 74th season of football in the Football League, and second successive (13th overall) season in the Fourth Division.
 John Rudge achieved his first success as manager, leading Vale to promotion into the Third Division with a fourth-place finish.
 The club also reached the Second Round in both the FA Cup and League Cup, as well as the Northern Section Semi-Finals of the League Trophy.
 Rudge signing Andy Jones excelled to become the club's top-scorer, whilst Robbie Earle had another impressive season.
 However the promotion campaign was built on the strength of the Vale defence, and goalkeeper Jim Arnold was made Player of the Year.
The 1934–35 season was Port Vale's 29th season of football in the Football League, and their fifth successive season (28th overall) in the Second Division.
 A positive start to the season raised hope of promotion; however, from October onwards the club performed so poorly as to finish fifth-from-bottom.
 One event of note was a six-week discussion over a possible change of name; the names Stoke Central, Stoke United, Stoke North End, and Hanley Port Vale were considered – however none of these names attracted enough support to institute a change.

 They reached the final of the Anglo-Italian Cup, where they were defeated 5–2 by Genoa.
