Tranmere Rovers are currently a first division club based in Birkenhead on the Wirral, where they play at Prenton Park(as seen in the pictures above).  They have been in this division since 1991 when they got promoted from the old second division after a play-off win at Wembley over Bolton Wanderers.  In recent seasons they made the First division play-offs 3 years in a row only to lose in the semi-finals each time.  Now, however they languish in mid-table with an ownership problem hanging over them.
A highlight from previous seasons includes getting to the semi-finals of the Coca-Cola cup where they narrowly lost to Aston Villa.  Following a 3-1 win at Prenton Park, Tranmere went to Villa Park on a high.  However, the scoreline there also ended 3-1, this time going to Villa.  The match went to penalties and then on to sudden death.  Aston Villa missed their first penalty in sudden death, only to see Tranmere miss theirs as well.  Villa then scored and Tranmere missed, taking Villa to Wembley.
The present manager is John Aldridge who is doing a brilliant job on limited resources.  He took over from John King, the previous manager who had signed him from Real Sociedad.  Despite                           being near the releagtion places in the last 2 seasons, things have                             started to improve this season and with a bit of luck maybe next                           season Tranmere can start challenging for a play-off spot                               again.
