Sub:  What is Your Name, Age and whereabouts in the Country are you exiled?

James:  My name is James Formstone, I'm 14 years old and I'm from Coventry in the West Midlands!

James Formstone

Sub: Well firstly James, thanks for agreeing to do this Interview as an exiled TRFC Fan.  How did you come to support Tranmere from Coventry and for how long have you been a Rovers Fan?

James:  I support Tranmere because my Dad's family are all from Birkenhead and I have therefore followed my Dad in supporting Tranmere.

I have supported Tranmere all my life and my first game was when I was two years old when we beat Barnsley 3-1 in 1996!

Obviously supporting Tranmere who are "relatively unknown" in Coventry I get stick from it but I can take it on the chin and it would be nice if Cov went down and Tranmere go up.

The stick I get still doesn't stop me from loving my beloved Rovers and it's always nice when Cov lose and Tranmere win.

Sub:  As someone who has Coventry as a sort of second team, I would disagree with that but anyway, do you get to many games each Season?

I always aim to get to a third of the games in a season but it's not very easy living two hours plus away but hopefully in years to come that figure of games will increase!

Sub:  As you travel around with the Total Tranmere crew maybe?

James: Yes Indeed!

Sub:  What is your Best Moment Supporting Tranmere Rovers?

James:  Well I have two main moments of supporting Tranmere, firstly reaching the Worthington Cup Final in 2000 and being there in my Wembley shirt and scarf!

Secondly the thrilling comeback against Southampton.  I remember after trailing at 3-0 saying to my Dad "can we go home now" and him saying "no" and it was a good decision because we won 4-3 as everyone knows!

Sub: I remember saying the same thing at half-time and ironically I was watching it on TV in Coventry!!  What is your Worst Moment Supporting Tranmere Rovers?

James:  The worst moment of being a Tranmere Fan was relegation from Division 1 (now the Championship).  It was a nightmare!

Sub:  Who is Your All-Time Favourite Rovers Player?

James:  I'm not old enough to remember the greats like Aldridge and Muir but my all time favourite Rovers player has to be Steve Yates.  His towering presence at the back was immense and his goals against Everton and Liverpool stand long in my memory.

Sub:  If were old enough to drive, which Player would you personally Pay to Leave the Club if anyone?

James:  Shane Sherriff

Sub: Any reason?

James:  Because he's lazy and whenever he loses the ball he never tackles back and always drifts out of position.

Shane Sherriff

Sub:  Is Ronnie Moore the Right Man for the Job?

James:  Yes.  He's Tranmere through and through and so far has done well in the job.

Sub:  Which Game have you Enjoyed most this Season and Why?

James:  The game I have most enjoyed this season was the 4-3 loss at Crewe because despite losing it was action packed with goals, red cards and laughs along the way.

Sub: Do you think Tranmere will make the Play-Offs this Season?

James:  Personally I think we will just miss out.  We haven't got the best run in of games with Southend, Forest and Walsall to play.  A 7th or 8th place finished is my Prediction! 

Editors Note: Interview took place before the defeat at Walsall on Saturday.

Sub:  Thanks very much James for taking this Interview for Total Tranmere and can I just add that it's been a pleasure to have your company at recent games since you first joined Total Tranmere?
