Shall we get a pint each and have a natter.
I’ve been to training this morning and quite a few of the lads are going to be watching the match on the telly.
I’m starting to feel the butterflies a bit.

A quick start from Rovers, Street scores after 4 minutes, after another 30 minutes Clifton adds a second. Second half, Tranmere come out strong and get one back, but Rovers slowly take over again and get a deciding goal after 85 minutes with Crew getting his first goal having come on as sub at 65 minutes.

I would think we will revert back to 4231
With Sterry Bailey Anderson Senior
                Crew.     Broadbent
                        Clifton
        Molyneux.              Gibson
                        Street
We could play 3421. But that would mean Clifton playing LWB can’t see that with Nixon on the bench

i was looking to back a 4-1 win -- then saw the odds weren't that great and thought so leave it

then it dawned on me Chester ain't that far from Tranmere and I suddenly remembered on 30th  April 1966 -same time of year maybe Easter Bank Holiday

we won 4-1 so hopeful of deja vu

It was Easter Saturday and we went on the special train and I remember seeing Syd Bycroft in the queue. I think that we went 1 down before Bob Gilfillan ran down the left wing absolutely creaming their right back before cutting in and scoring. He then had a similar run but squared it for Laurie Sheffield knocked it in. Laurie and king Alick got the other two goals to send us home very happy.
A great away day in bright sunshine.

The score is all that matters today, a bit of a scrappy performance like, I’d take Clifton off, a second yellow card waiting to happen

Could anyone describe this game as entertainment?

Does anyone care? As long as we win

i can, quite happily - until they start handing out additional points for artistic impression, it's fantastically entertaining - win at all costs, and f**k the style of the performance...

We're doing OK but Tranmere don't look like they're up to much so would hope we go for it a bit more 2nd half. Don't want to see a nervy 45 minutes trying to sit on a one goal lead.

Crew was good passing the ball but lacks that bit of strength but I would not have sub him although Westbrooke looked after the ball.
Ennis played well and not for two good saves by their keeper could have had two goals.
Kelly used his running forward skills better when he came on maybe better as a sub than starting.
Sbarra better out wide than down the middle. But they were trying to get back at us so more space.
Saturday we need 3 more points

Crew was good passing the ball but lacks that bit of strength but I would not have sub him although Westbrooke looked after the ball.
Ennis played well and not for two good saves by their keeper could have had two goals.
Kelly used his running forward skills better when he came on maybe better as a sub than starting.
Sbarra better out wide than down the middle. But they were trying to get back at us so more space.
Saturday we need 3 more points

Monday we need three more points. ;-)

A quick start from Rovers, Street scores after 4 minutes, after another 30 minutes Clifton adds a second. Second half, Tranmere come out strong and get one back, but Rovers slowly take over again and get a deciding goal after 85 minutes with Crew getting his first goal having come on as sub at 65 minutes.



Written before I saw the line up.


i was looking to back a 4-1 win -- then saw the odds weren't that great and thought so leave it

then it dawned on me Chester ain't that far from Tranmere and I suddenly remembered on 30th  April 1966 -same time of year maybe Easter Bank Holiday

we won 4-1 so hopeful of deja vu

Today they have a left winger with dreadlocks who could be troublesome

that was lucky and unlucky I was looking to give Trani a 3 goal start  (as you do ) on a handicap but could only see giving them a one goal start

I can shed some light on that game. It was the supporters club outing and a football special train was organised. Something like 4,000 fans travelled. Alec Jeffrey was unplayable and scored an astonishing individual goal. Surrounded by 4 defenders, in the blink of an eye the ball nestled in the back of the net while those 4 defenders were each left on their backsides wondering what the hell happened.

Laurie Sheffield was on the scoresheet, too.

Rovers then went on to win the title. The only dark cloud was losing the final game of the season to Notts County 0-3 in front of 17,000 fans. That game will also remain memorable for the Tony Coleman incident when he punched the ref after being sent off! What a year 1966 was.

Bob, Notts County was the last home game I think of the season.
The final game was the rearranged game v Bradford City at Valley Parade on the Monday night.
Paul Durrant put us 1-0 up but I think that it was Bruce Bannister that equalised. The crowd was about 6,500 and the home crowd there the following Saturday was under 2,000. We had to wait until the Saturday when Darlington drew 0-0 with Torquay United to make us champions on goal average 59 points with  Darlington who were second and Torquay third on 58 so a win for either side would have made them champions and us runners up.

Sheff United win their appeal.
