Isn't it more fun watching Tranmere knock Everton out of the cup when Aldo was in charge?  My dad was well pissed off over that.

Who do we expect to feature for the reds in this game, anyway?  I imagine most of our regulars wont be on board, but I'd expect the likes of Brewster and the Ox to be in the running if considered fit enough?

Yep. Maybe half an hour of Prince Adam too? Harry Wilson?

Great stuff and if you look closely, you can just about make out John C..........before he heads of to work for his night shift.

A couple of weeks?! Can we not have another month? After the world cup I'm gonna be all football'd out.

You're 5 months out Chops mate, I was at a Tranmere game in November 1968 for me granddads 50th wedding anniversary. They took me there to keep me out the fucking way, hahahahaha.

I can’t believe 50-year-old footage is now in colour.  I was expecting to click and find them all wearing knickerbockers.

Brilliant stuff!  Cheers. Slightly off point,  but didn't Tranmere  use to always play their home games  on Friday night?

They did, yes, back in the 80s and 90s.

And ‘‘twas the reason that the mighty HMHB declined to appear live on The Tube.

Those damn day-trippers with their cameras out at the game!  I guess some things never did change.

Last year's friendly team. Played two XIs, one in each half. Hopefully we will get a glimpse of some of the heroes of Madrid, though obviously there are no Brazilians or Africans yet.

Hoping against hope they might bring along something shiny with big ears.
