Serious question. How does any real lard arse actually fit into a seat at a ground these days?

I watched maybe the last 30 minutes so probably not enough to judge but my overall take on the game.

Tranmere work very very hard, Norwood up front is a real pest, never stops running.

FGR tried to play football but Tranmere's press just didn't allow it and in the end, the game kind of fizzled out as Doige's elbows kept getting penalised every time FGR would get the ball forward.

2 other non-football related things to note. Mark Cooper's Stone Island jumper (who do you think you are Mark?) and Mike Dean in the crowd, you can't keep a good man down can you Deany!! (didn't know he was a Tranmere fan, every day is a school day!)

They did nothing over the two legs because we didn’t allow them to and but for wasteful finishing at times would have been a lot more comfortable.

Much harder to do a high press against Newport though when the ball is in the air.

Mike Dean grabbing the headlines again! There's a video somewhere of him and an inflatable sheep at Wrexham away which is worth a minute of everyone's time.

Love triangle-child of Matt Rhead, Steve McNulty and Jon parkin if he single handedly broke 15 seats.
I'm only repeating what I've been told.
But I do believe it was more stupidity than anything else for that to happen on two separate occasions.

Reckon Tranny will be wrapping up their seats in bubble wrap before we come next season (if we do) lol.

Clearly need better ones, most patheticly weak seats I've ever seen. Crumble to pieces, are they made of blue smarties or something?

it will be interesting to see how fgr rebuild after their disappointing playoff outcome. I'm assuming Doidge won't be there next season?

Probably won't be, hasn't looked too happy since coming back. Reece Brown and Lewis Ward are definitely off too so going to need a new no. 9, playmaker and keeper just to start with.

Gunning amongst those out of contract too.

We quite clearly aren’t selling 45,000 tickets.

17,000 would be a very good following at these prices.

I think we will sell about 15,000.

I wonder how many Newport are likely to bring ? I believe their following was poor when they played Wrexham in the NL final a few years ago, but their fanbase has probably grown a bit since then.

It would be good to have a decent crowd and overall atmosphere after the finals against FGR and Boreham Wood.

From speaking to friends etc I think this will be bigger than the last two years so that’s where my 17,000 is from.

Newport probably 10-12k?

At least the bottom tier will be full.

I was at the gym yesterday and skysports news was on one of the screens. During the ad break it had an advert for the League 2 play-off between Forest Green and Tranmere which is apparently being played on Friday.

A reprieve for Vince and his merry men?

Wouldn't shock me if they ordered a replay after all the dodgy goings on.

Quite the Trust me if I'd been there by myself one or two of those little twats would have spent the night at Gloucester Royal and I'd be getting another banning order. Lucky I've got more self control these days.


hahahahahahahahahahaha/ Yeah right !!!

Wow. You are soo hard sitting behind your keyboard. Another cyber warrior who wouldn`t last 5 minutes in Birkenhead on a Friday night. This from a fan of a club who`s supporters were complaining about getting a little verbal after the match on Good Friday is side splittingly hilarious. You lot should really stick to smashing things that won`t hit you back.
