Port Vale face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 21 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
