Used to be a FG fan on here a while back. Wonder is he at the game.  So many ties killed off after the 1st leg lately, hopefully this isn't another one. |

It's not really right that shite like these two might take the place of Leyton Orient who have a rich and illustrious history in the Football League. It is a disgrace. They have no business being in the Football League. Let's see if I can goad FJ into posting again |

He's still playing the prediction league, but I guess we don't know for sure if he is playing it from the other side!  Although if he is, you'd think he'd be doing a bit better. |

Only 18,000 there - 15K Tranmere and 3K FGR fans.

Unbelievable. Sorry Tranmere didn't win now, FGR's don't deserve to go up with that many turning up.

I was gutted; my first game I was taken to was Tranmere back in 65, so even though I support Liverpool I've always followed Tranmere as a second club and still go to games occasionally. |

Sorry to know about your team missing out. Congrats to Fth Jack and hope to see him back here. |

In terms of popular culture, I'd say the Os are bigger. Our ground has featured in huge blockbuster feature films like I.D., we have had fly on the wall documentaries filmed about us featuring the likes of legendary manager, John Sitton (I'm talking documentaries that have aired on national television and not just documentaries that are available in the Tranmere club shop on VHS for 99p, in fact his rants are still a hit on youtube today!), we have celebrity fans like Andrew Llloyd Webber, Barry Hearn, Bob Mills, Orient have played in the top flight of professional football, we have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, we won the Dubonnet Cup in Paris in 1912, these are feats that Tranmere have never recorded. And I noticed what you did there, you included all the times that Tranmere got promoted (amongst a few other things) but didn't do the same for Leyton Orient. Tranmere meanwhile, once got a mention on Brookside. On a sidenote, I actually remember the year Tranmere finished in their highest ever league position, 4th in the second tier, John Aldridge was scoring a tonne of goals for you, the Daily Star were running a fantasy football contest which was easily exploitable if you knew a little about 1st division football, as the players were much, much cheaper than Premier League players yet they could score the same amount of points, I picked up Aldridge and a few other players for a steal and finished in 110th place or something, after spending most the season in the top 3 and top at times, just missing out on big cash prizes as I slid down the table in the final few weeks, I still feel The Daily Star might have rigged it that year as my team was about as close to perfection as I or anyone is likely to ever get. But I was 11 years old at the time, I didn't know who to make a complaint to. In truth, neither club should be playing non-league next year, just goes to show how shambolic the running of our clubs must be, we have a corrupt owner who is wanted for embezzlement and money laundering charges in Albania. Here is a short youtube documentary that just went out a few days ago that will break the hearts of any true football fan I should have been there for them, I'm not superstitious but sometimes I feel my mere presence could have avoided all this. |

I didn't just miss off when Orient got promoted, I just cut and pasted the honours list from Wiki (check it out, that's all they have on the wiki page. Tranmere's is taken from the wiki page). I agree to some extent but the fact is that Mark and Nikki Palios have now come in and the improvements can be seen and the same goes with the new manager. I was just being facetious, let's hope they both climb out next season. On a side note, I was in the directors box for Tranmere's first ever game in the first division (second tier) at Prenton Park. I was sat next to a young lady who was sat with Howard Kendall who was trolleyed. Neil Midgeley was the ref and Kendall took the piss out of him the whole game to this young woman. I didn't see him in the lounge afterwards, nor her!! |
