  1. "sickened" "a new low" "I hate this club so much" "a complete embarrassment" "disaster"
  2. It's a bit weird but I'm not getting the outrage tbh.
  3. I presume this is stuff that Zak has designed and the club are selling?
  4. Correct, other than when he returned to Swansea on loan from us, they were Championship at the time.
  5. "Jon, are they booing me?" "Er, no Dad, they're saying Stooooeeeve"
  6. Taunton v Slough tonight is off due to a waterlogged pitch.
  7. Today's Wordle will cause some ructions.
  8. Thought Gordon looked bright, that was about it. Luke Shaw enhanced his reputation as well.
  9. Bacup Borough were always a problem in that league, don't know if they still are. I remember a few years ago they had to play 5 in 7 days in the last week of the season in order to finish on time.
  10. 5 points separating 2nd and 8th now, though us and Leicester have played a game more than everyone else.
  11. Yep, it was all very routine. The sort of victory we churned out for fun in that season.
  12. The bit around Port Vale's ground in Burslem is genuinely the most grim place I've been to in this country.
  13. In light of much recent discussion about the frequency and content of communications by our club, I thought I'd post this, released today by Mark Palios, Chairman of Tranmere. https://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/news/2024/march/an-update-from-chairman-mark-palios/ It's a very lengthy read which covers pretty much everything that a Tranmere fan would want to know about - from on pitch matters including transfers and budgets to potential investment/sale and new stadium, matchday experience, community work and season tickets including response to some negativity around pricing. Of particular note is this bit, where he talks about the appointment and firing of Ian Dawes as manager last summer. Dawes was their Dean Holden appointment, the long-serving assistant who'd had a decent spell as interim manager and so got the gig permanently. It didn't work out and he was moved on within a few months of the season starting, to be replaced by Nigel Adkins who'd joined in the summer as Technical Director: Palios isn't universally popular amongst Tranmere fans and has faced criticism over various things in recent months, with a growing number thinking that he's taken the club as far as he can. But the reaction to this has been overwhelmingly positive, with plenty of plaudits for his honesty and transparency even from those who disagree with him on certain things. Compare and contrast.......
  14. Well he did say he used to hide in the laundry bins at Cambridge and listen to the teamtalks...
  15. Yes, heaven forbid that people wanted to give the new man a chance.
