Quick Note!

The Stockport save will not continue as I just can't get into it anymore. However, I have really enjoyed this save and it is something I look forward to writing about. I hope you enjoy!

The Story of Tranmere Rovers

Tranmere Rovers Football Club are an English professional association football club founded in 1884, and based in Birkenhead, Wirral. Originally known as Belmont Football Club, they adopted their current name in 1885. They were a founder member of Division Three North in 1921, and have remained a member of the Football League since. As of the start of the 2014–15 season, they play in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system.

During the 1980s, they were beset by financial problems and, in 1987, went into administration. However, this was a prelude to the most successful period in Tranmere's history; under manager John King, the team reached the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League in three successive seasons. Under King's successor, John Aldridge, Tranmere experienced a number of cup runs, most notably reaching the 2000 Football League Cup Final. Other cup runs include reaching FA Cup quarter-finals in 2000, 2001 and 2004.

Tranmere's regular kit is an all-white strip with blue trim, their main colours since 1962. The club moved to its current home, Prenton Park, in 1912. In 1995, the ground had a major redevelopment in response to the Taylor Report. It now seats 16,567 in four stands: the Main Stand, the Kop, the Johnny King stand and the Cowshed.

The Squad



The Manager



The man behind the potential success of Tranmere Rovers will be Micky Adams. Adams joined after Rob Edwards resigned due to illness and the former Port Vale manager has said to be 'delighted' at the chance of helping this club reach a 'healthier position' in the Footballing pyramid.
Good luck with Tranmere, I know a certain someone who will love this story (Iconic) because he loves Tranmere.

"We're taking no prisoners" - Adams

Tranmere boss, Micky Adams has said in a press conference today, "We're taking no prisoners this year." Tranmere were relegated from League One last year after finishing 21st and Adams is confident that they can bounce right back up at the first time of asking, "It was a disappointing year for the club and we don't want another by failing to get back up. We have a squad who are willing to play, who have passion and who are ready to show what they've got. I'm hugely confident we can get back up if we play our best. Of course it won't be easy, as this league has many good teams who want the same things as us, like a Portsmouth or Plymouth for example, but again I believe me can do it."




Adams comments came after a 1-0 win to Scottish League 1 side, Stranraer where the League Two played them off the pitch. Tranmere played very precisely, with quick passing movement and showing great pace on the ball and that is how the goal came, a great piece of work from experienced midfielder, Jason Koumas opened up the defence and he slotted the ball into the gap for young striker, Cole Stockton to pounce onto before he effortlessly rolled the ball into the net. Next up for Tranmere is a trip to Bolton, where the squad are set to be tested.
Yay a Tranmere story I can't wait for more. :D
It looks promising, good luck. I will keep an eye.
