The 1905–06 season was Burslem Port Vale's eighth consecutive season (12th overall) of football in the English Football League. It was another season spent struggling at the lower end of the league. On the pitch the team allowed goals and narrowly avoided the re-election zone. A poor season on the pitch was more than matched by a hopeless financial season off the pitch, with low attendance figures suggesting that the club could not sustain league football for much longer.
