Quite bizarre that concessions are less than half of full price.
15 and 10 would make more sense than 18 and 8.

barney reacted to Liverpool Bud in Tranmere Rovers - The Only Way Is Up!
Greetings fellow buds.
Inspired by the season long thread about Leicester City I'm going to use this thread to blog about my other footballing love Tranmere Rovers.
Those of you who know me will already know that at 18 I left home to move to liverpool to attend Uni - 26 years later I've just not made it back!
I'm lucky my folks still stay localish and now as a proud dad to a wonderful lad I've installed him into the Saints way much to his mothers dismay !
Anyway I digress - on arrival in Liverpool in 1988/89 I spent most of that season trying to cure my football addiction by attending both Anfield and Goodison watching both the reds and blues of merseyside - back in the day you could turn up and pay a fiver and stand on the Kop or Gladys Street End. Both the liverpool and Everton teams of the day were packed full of quality and many Scottish internationals played for both teams. However as the season went in I never really felt part of it- I was used to turning up to love street - standing in the same bit of the ground - seeing the same faces and feeling part of "something" I was used to crowds of 4000 so 40000 in the Liverpool or Everton grounds was alien to me at this point I didn't even know Tranmere Rovers existed !
One of the lads I played footy with at college came from a place called "the Wirral" only a short Mersey ferry ride or train journey away - he was a tranmere fab and encouraged me to go and watch them in the old Division 4 .
The reason I'm going to blog throughout the season about tranmere - my memories and experiences watching them home and away is because last weekend tranmere sacked their manager and are currently rock bottom of the football leagues
Feel free to post comments - get involved or just read along as hopefully throughout the remainder of the season starting getting some results and climb the league and don't drop out into non league obscurity like Chester City - Wrexham - and Stockport - all local tranmere rivals .

He gets more cards than Leigh Griffiths on Fathers' Day, always been the same.
Can't see him cleaning his act up at this stage of his career tbh.

soap box jim was always a stick on for this. If he comes across as a total fud (which he is) and the going get s tough, he'll probably get a henchman to crack an egg across his impenetrable dome in holyrood, claim it was nicola sturgeon, then resign.
Him and about Labour suit each other down to a T.

The footage is pretty crap, but I thought he mad a deliberate movement towards Cameron. Pity he wasn't driving a truck.

For those that may not know, the trial of the guy accused of Simon's murder is due to begin on Monday. Let's hope our justice system does us proud for once.
