Last updated : 26 December 2015 By Jim Brown

Coventry City had their best home Boxing Day crowd since 2009 against Port Vale yesterday.

The crowd of 17.779 was the biggest since December 26th 2009 when a crowd of 19,221 saw Coventry City beat Doncaster 1-0 with a Clinton Morrison penalty.

It was the best crowd, Gillingham for the Ricoh Return apart, since City were relegated to League One.

The 1-0 win for City was their first home win against Port Vale since March 1959.
