Outside the train station according to this off their board.
I witnessed it and it was absolutely awful. It was like something off a film, I saw it in slow motion. Unbelievable.
Went straight over to the lads, the one bloke got up straight away and got away lightly whilst his mate was on the ground not moving.
The riot van sped off after the car but I really hope they get caught for this. |  |

Hopefully not football related, and hopefully they are ok |  |

What happened? Very ashamed if visitors to this town have been injured. No excuses for this type of behaviour. |  | | |

Apparently 2 vale fans were hit by a car near the station which then drove off pursued by the Police. | |

Sounds like they were hit by a car and the driver didn't stop? Nothing to do with football by the sounds of it but not good advert for our town. Hope the culprits are found and punished accordingly. | | | |

Perhaps it was Lee Hughes because he didn't think the fans got behind the team? he does have previous.
Now, i'm not condoning the actions, as it is truly disgraceful, but how can the vale fans call anyone scum when they worship a murderer who killed somebody in the exact same circumstances. This shit could not be made up. |  |

I'm sure many of us have had similar thoughts about this incident
It's probably best if we don't dwell on the hypocrisy though |  |

This is a tad ott. First of all. it suggests no Port Vale fan who is run down can complain because Hughes plays for the team (presumably, the same applies to Biffoes and Notts C. supporters as their clubs also signed him).
Secondly, the incident occurred before the match - though if the fans were near the station at 2.45 and had been drinking just beforehand it seems they weren't much bothered about getting to Spotland (and the Rochdale Online report implies that the fans were targeted after a row of some sort).
It's probably best to wait for more facts to emerge before passing judgements. | | | |

the fans were very interested in getting the game on time, there were issues with full trains and getting a taxi at rochdale [which is what the lads were trying to do]
it was a horrible scene, certainly nothing to do with football trouble or drink though | | | |

There seems to be an awful lot of drivers out there who don't take responsibility for their own mistakes. The same thing happened to me years ago. I was crossing over near Victoria Station in Manchester and some bimbo put her car in reverse, then reversed back at speed before I had chance to get out of the way. She hit me. It felt like I had been punched really hard but all over my body. She did stop, but I was in a state of shock and couldn't think straight so didn't ask for any details. There were loads of witnesses, but only one bothered to stop. The driver craftily got rid of the witness by offering to drive me back to my workplace for medical attention. She then dropped me at my workplace, but took my phone number with the promise that she would phone to see how I was. There was no phone call which shows how thoughtless and selfish she was. To this day, I still have her registration number written down and am thinking of passing it to a solicitor. I am on lifelong pain killers because of what she did to me and she is probably still driving around like an airhead putting other road users in danger.
Incidentally, I did phone the police at the time and was told that she hadn't come forward, but should give her more time. Sorry, but the law states 48 hours and if she hasn't come forward, then the police should be charging her with failing to report an accident. | | | |

"The incident happened after Port Vale took on Rochdale and the Spotland Stadium in Rochdale"
"The victims were among a group of five men walking to the football stadium in Rochdale."
Taken from the Mail report...........Is this what some people called being educated ha ha | | | |

I'm going to go all Miss Marple here, but why would a 'group of friends' who had come by train be drinking in the Commercial, on their way to Spotland, be run over outside the train station at 2.45pm. That just doesn't make sense to me as a fan.
If it were me, coming to Spotland as a Vale fan, I'd have been leaving the Commercial at 2pm either on foot or via taxi as I would have really wanted to see the game, a promotion party.
The fact it happened at 2.45pm is the biggest clue in this unsavoury episode.
Consider this: Would you have been in a pub on the wrong side of Stoke at 2.45pm if Dale had a chance of going up at Vale Park? |  |

Someone earlier said they were waiting for a taxi, Miss Marple. |  |
