unsworth blue Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Just as I start to prepare for what might be the worst day in my footballing life, I am thinking about anything but Salford at home today. I have a load of tickets for the game at Tranmere next week and am going whether we are still in the fight or whether we have succumbed and been relegated. I am travelling by train next week as the plan is to have a few scoops to either ease the pain or to celebrate our still being in the fight, the only issue is that, whilst I have been to Prenton Park maybe 10-15 times before I have always gone by road. Please can anyone advise on how best to get to Prenton Park from Lime Street station and whether its better having a few pints around Liverpool or heading over to Birkenhead early doors? I am 60 years old and not interested in any possible skirmishes with the home fans, just want a decent day on the source and hopefully watching Latics stay in the league and in business Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some unsavoury types for sure and have been known to prowl the streets afterwards to pick out away supporters for a kicking. A Stockport fan friend of mine once got put in hospital by their cowards (6 onto one). They seem to think we are "mancs" and they are "scousers", hence the bitter hatred. My advice - Liverpool for a drink all day long - leave Birkenhead and its environs well alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a few scallies knocking about wanting some aggro Last time i went there was a decent boozer about 10 minutes walk away from Prenton Park but can't for life of me recall the name of it. Ended up talking to a Man City fan there - why was one of them in the Wirral I am not sure. Thoughts are maybe drink around Liverpool and get a number of taxis to game, leave Birtkenhead out of the equation all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work there and there are a fair few anti-scouse types who support United. That said, I suppose the same applies for Liverpool fans in Oldham.

Mercater Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Years since I've been there,but the best policy for Tranmere is get in and out as fast as you can. Had coins thown at us and it was a toxic atmosphere. Although I remember a tuesday night game where when we were looking for somewhere to park, a guy came out of his house and told us to park on his drive, also refused when we offered him a few quid for it.
