Only just, but doing well with what we have by all accounts.

I'm interested But only because my team (Brentford) are part of the chasing pack
We need to get the Chelsea FA cup game out of the way and our focus back on the league though, the home loss to your boys was a real bad result!!

We've taken our foot off the gas a little. Although we're not doing bad with the funds we've available.

Tranmere deserve to go up a league.
Ronnie Moore deserves his extended contract award it's a shame that Les Parry didn't do better. He was good as a physio but just couldn't get the results as a manager.

Although I am an LFC supporter, I have also followed Tranmere since I was a kid.

I remember them going down to Division Four in 1961.
I can also remember a massive LFC influence, Ron Yeats, Ian St.John and Bill Shankley.
Arsenel 0, Tranmere 1, what a shocker result that was back in '73.

I won't mention the early 1980's.

Anyway, good to see a Super Whites thread on here.

Wow, that's great that someone else knows we exist lol

Yes, it's good to have Ronnie back. Les did a good job considering his lack of managerial experience.

I just hope if we do go up, someone will put some money into the club as its being run on a very tight budget.

After a run of poor results they beat Colchester 5-1.
I hope that the return to form continues for the rest of the season now.

Well, looks like it's not to be this season as they're slowly slipping down the table.

It's a shame, seems like the amount of injuries is taking its toll.

If Tranmere can improve and other teams take a dip then it could happen, only 5 points between them and Doncaster.

Today (Saturday) should see an interesting match against Oldham, you never know....

They won against Oldham!

Except for Doncaster, all the other teams around Tranmere did us a favour, 4th position now but still 5 points behind Doncaster.

Well, I'm in Aylesbury today and will pop over to Milton Keynes later to see the boys play. It'll be the first time I've seen them play for a few years, so they had better make the most of my support and win!

Tranmere have really lost their way now. Not sure how, they're a decent team.
Brentford on the other hand, well we're now real contenders for the title

It was very disappointing to see them lose the Sheffield match by an own goal.

They need to win every remaing game and hope that other results go in their favour.

Tranmere have just signed some bod from Manure till the end of the season too.

If Tranmere do nothing else this season, I pray they beat Bournemouth on the last day of the season for us, it's going right down to the last game for Brentford!!!!

Stuffed

Still, I suppose it's better than being relegated.

Now got a new sponsor on board for the next three years (Home Bargain) that will inject some cash into the club to get more permanent players instead of loan players.

Down to the last game of the season for us to secure automatic promotion with an unbelievable game at home against Doncaster, but we need a win, Donny just need a draw.

Got my tickets for the game, but can I get through this next week waiting!!!?
