Either playing cricket or following Tranmere up and down the country. Sometimes exploring new countries and always looking for a new challenge. 89/92.
So here’s my attempt at predicting this years league two table. Big fan of Paul Cooks work at Chesterfield and think they’ll pip big spending MK & Fleetwood to the top 3, while cowleys fall just short. Stanley & Cheltenham to go down. Rovers an improved but modest 11th.

So Hendry is the only player that has left us to go to a higher profile club this summer and many have dropped divisions? Shows how poor squad planning was last summer.
Richie Smallwood Nathan Smith Patrick Brough Jason Lowe Ethan Bristow Charlie Whitaker Billy Blacker Nohan Kenneh Solid window, like always missing that CF, but beyond that our first 11 looks good. Maybe one more CB and CM as cover.
I do find it a little amusing that people can criticise Tranmere for a potential lack of goals but then back teams like Gillingham & Colchester. This was the period under Crosby.

It’s that time of year where everyone gets upset at some league table predictions that don’t actually mean anything 😍
So clubs forced to play behind closed doors due to ownership issues are a red flag of mismanagement. Good to know. Did he tell Mark Palios this? 😅
Barrow AFC Fixture to Be Played Behind Closed Doors - Morecambe FC. Another example of the mismanagement of the club. morecambefc.com/news/2025/july…
Crazy to think in the space of 371 days that Palmer and James will have won both World Cups at the MetLife stadium
Apparently Cole Palmer was a one season wonder 😅 yet here he is shredding the best team in the world from this season
If this series was about preparing for the Ashes then they should read the writing on the wall & drop Crawley; Pope & Bashir and give others a couple games
All the fuss about Mulder declaring while 367*. Clearly he knows that Harry Brook is scoring 500* at the Boxing Day test anyway.
Would be lovely if just for a change a U.K. government would stop working out who they can tax more or who they can take benefits away from and focus on driving real growth so that neither need to happen.
And another target missed 😬
We are delighted to announce the signing of Tom Lowery, who joins on a two-year deal.
Oh look that unamed Premier League footballer has been named and charged now and people are supposed to believe their club wasn’t aware? Any self respecting club would have suspended him
Mickey Mellon is keen on bringing “frightening pace” upfront for recently promoted national league side Oldham, their extensive scouting network has led to the shortlisting of Harvey Saunders. Deal imminent..
But a bunch of Tranmere fans would have you believe that Mellon never rated Hawkes 😅
People still losing their heads over a promotion push? Really poor signing that and a sign we have cut the budget. Cheap option until Finley is back when what we needed was an upgrade / competition
Notts squad getting torn apart the past 6 months, surely they’re balancing the books due to their high debt? Strange manager choice too
