Absolutely brilliant. Shame it's such short notice, would love to go over to this!

Their keeper made some good saves. The pitch is awful.. Man Utd won't like playing there.

Made up for Tramcar. Mr and Mrs Palios seem to have the club on a good trajectory, and last night and the United visit should provide them with the cash they need to sort out their pitch. It was interesting reading their statement about the pitch. Apparently our grounds staff have been advising them. They have spent a fortune in their terms on trying to keep the pitch playable, but it needs a complete renewal of the drainage system.
Given where they were when Mark Palios and his wife took over, it is good to see them flourish.
I just hope they don’t batter Ole’s boys and get him sacked. A nice 2-1 will do, with plenty of confusion and controversy about the winner so that Ole can claim they were unlucky.
“When Tranmere play their strongest side against you, you know you are going in the right direction!”

You could argue that Micky Mellon is the more experienced manager than Ole... back to back promotions and all that. I'm sure he's going to have a few tricks up his sleeve and that pitch is awful so United won't be able to zip it around and grind the lower league team into submission. I don;t think that will happen. Will be an interesting game.

Stop with the clever baiting, rebel.

Does Ole realise he must win, so go full strength, risking more injuries, or play the kids, who are not that great anyway.
He'll half and half.
Hope they literally get ploughed into the ground.

I think it will be direct football, lots of long balls etc. and the Tranmere players getting in their face on an awful pitch should knock the United side off their stride. I'm hopeful.

11000 odd sold, 1000 tickets left according to Nicola Palios a half hour ago. Ticket office visit or phone only.

Absolutely. Considering the ticketing website crashed and burned with 19k applications for the 12k seats. 2 x 12 hour shifts for the ticket office!

Be good if they can get a replay at least...

They just barred a whole batch of tickets ... some tout called 2020tickets was selling them at £110 each but tweeted a pic of the tickets so Palios nailed them

OOS · « **Reply #496 on:** June 9, 2020, 04:50:34 pm »

Relegated back to League 2. Shame really, they brought in some decent players during January and looked like they were going to turn a corner.

Before the season ended, they won three games in a row. Had a game in hand, and only three points off safety. 12 games left to play.

AFC Wimbledon who finished one place above them, Tranmere beat them earlier in the season and they still had to play eachother.

My best mate is a Rovers fan. She's fuming. Their ppg had been starting to improve and there wasn't much in it when it came to staying up. Shame

Wouldnt blame her, if they're doing playoffs I don't see why they don't hold a one off relegation playoff between Tranmere and Wimbledon considering they were due to play each other anyway.

Micky Mellon has left to join Dundee United.

The football wasn't great at times, but he did a job. Back to back promotions from the notoriously hard national league Conference to League 1. He's left the club in much better place, despite them being relegated this season.

Massive opportunity for a new manager to come in, God knows what the squad will look like next season. Be interesting to know who is on the shortlist.

OOS · « **Reply #500 on:** August 5, 2020, 05:13:28 pm »

Jay Spearing has signed has a two year contract. Fantastic signing for them. Very good league one player, who should stand out in league Two. Much needed leadership for the season ahead.

CornerFlag · « **Reply #501 on:** August 6, 2020, 12:50:53 pm »

Yeah, very good signing for them. Only 31, would still be a good League One player so to drop down is a great sign for them. Could easily get 4-5 good years out of them given he grew up literally a two-minute drive from their current training base.

CornerFlag · « **Reply #502 on:** November 1, 2020, 03:38:48 pm »

Sacked their manager. Really not good enough at all.

3-2 down in the 92nd minute at Port Vale, 3-4 winners in the 96th

https://twitter.com/i/status/1327672646281154562

An old LFC face, David Amoo scored Vale's first, and Vale's second came from the Ref giving them a Pen after being conned by a dive over Jay Spearing in the Rovers box.

Fourth win on the trot since sacking Mike Jackson.

Tell you what, that's a cheat and a half from that Vale player.

Palios sacks the universally unpopular Keith Hill a week before the Play-Offs.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57069049

He had it coming, 2 wins in 11 and missing out on automatic promotion. This last interview in his usual Bolton Frontier Gibberish style - after the tame 0-0 draw v Colchester at Prenton Park last Saturday finished him off as he casually chucked his entire playing squad under the bus followed by a dig at the fans.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/rHW1Dk3nNf8&ab_channel=OfficialTranmereRovers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/rHW1Dk3nNf8&ab_channel=OfficialTranmereRovers</a>

Hopefully the assistant managers Dawes and Parkinson can turn it around for the Play-Offs - they got Rovers on the winning streak earlier this season before Hill came along.

Redsnappa · « **Reply #517 on:** May 16, 2021, 09:58:31 am »

The proposed new Fan Park in the car park at Prenton Park is a quite spectacular looking thing.

Tranmere are doing Residents and Fans meetings/consultations at the mo on it's viability. Looks great though.

Maybe, couldn't say specifically, but certainly the LFC money helps the overall income and LFC and Rovers have a good relationship right from the years the youth teams played there and usually play them pre-season at Prenton Park for a sell-out friendly. All helps.
