Cammell Laird FC have already expressed that they are looking forward to hosting Rovers in a few weeks time with a Club official stating….
“We are looking forward to our pre-season campaign and the Tranmere fixture is a real stand-out for us. It is always a pleasure to host our friends from Tranmere Rovers and we hope the fixture appeals to both sets of fans, the local community and beyond.”
“You can’t always bank on the weather but hopefully it will be a decent night, we will have the hospitality arrangements in place and it’s an occasion where people can enjoy a decent game of football in local surroundings between two clubs looking for success in their respective leagues next season.”
Lairds Manager, Tony Sullivan added….
“Our pre-season line-up provides a test for us on many levels and it probably won’t get more testing than the visit of Rovers. Both clubs will I’m sure be fielding strong sides and the games are always great spectacles for the supporters.”
“We’re all looking forward to the fixture and although it’s part of a wider programme you can’t help but cast your eye on this one. I would encourage the whole of the Community to give the evening a go, there’s always a good atmosphere at Kirklands for these games and the standard of football is high.”
Stay tuned to Total Tranmere for further pre-season admission details as they become available as well as a Prediction League which we are setting up for the friendly games.

I was wondering why the Man U and Liverpool fixtures went by the baord, not least as it seems the pre-season fixtures are not as numerous as in previous seasons.
Also I see Tranmere are busom buddies with Everton now, after a long spell of supposed anomosity. Firstly the Baxter loan, then the Wallace loabn, thne the Wallace signing. Don't get me wrong but I like this, howver I am wondering what prompted it.
I also wonder if Tranmere could arrange for one or two foreign sides to play friendlies at Prenton Park, as there are lower tier teams that could perhaps come over to play like Zaragoza B, Barca B, Bayern II, Reggina etc, as this could be used to cultivate links between clubs and promote more ability to acquire foreign players.
