BRIEF HISTORY of the TRANMERE ROVERS FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Tranmere Rovers Football Club is an English professional association football club founded in 1884,
and based in Birkenhead, Wirral. Originally known as Belmont Football Club, they adopted their current
name in 1885. They were a founder member of Division Three North in 1921, and were a member of The
Football League until 2015, when they were relegated to the National League, the fifth tier of English
football.
During the 1980s, they were beset by financial problems and, in 1987, went into administration.
However, this was a prelude to the most successful period in Tranmere's history; under manager
John King, the team reached the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League in three successive
seasons. Under King's successor, John Aldridge, Tranmere experienced a number of cup runs, most
notably reaching the 2000 Football League Cup Final. Other cup runs include reaching FA Cup
quarter-finals in 2000, 2001 and 2004.
Tranmere's regular kit is an all-white strip with blue trim, their main colours since 1962. The
club moved to its current home, Prenton Park, in 1912. In 1995, the ground had a major redevelopment
in response to the Taylor Report. It now seats 16,567 in four stands: the Main Stand, the Kop, the
Johnny King Stand and the Cowshed.
