Hi Bees. I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck in the play offs. I think every real football fan in the country want yourselves and Yeovil to make it to the final. It may sound like sour grapes after the way the scond half of our season went, but it is hard to take when you see clubs spending massive amounts of money that you know they just dont have, and gaining success from it. Yeovil and yourselves are the only teams in the top 6 that are run properly and fairly. You both have good people throughout your clubs (Uwe is a top man). Dont feel too bad about what happened on Saturday, just enjoy it when Donny's lack of money catches up with them and they end up in league 2 after going into administration repeatedly, as with Bournemouth and Swindon. Still cant get my head around how a club who average 6000 a game can spend £400,000 on a player? If we see you next season I hope it's because Yeovil have gone up, otherwise enjoy the Championship, you deserve it.

Thanks for that mate, always had a soft spot for Tranmere, stretching back to the days of the early 1990's when you had Johnny King as manager and I knew Dave Higgins that used to play for you at the back! :)

What happened to you lot after sort of Xmas/NY time?....I honestly thought that one of the autos was a cert to go to TR :nono:

Thanks again, and hope to not see you next season! :D

Losing Jake Cassidy back to Wolves didn't help them

Cheers for the kind words. Glad some can see the the long term problems other teams are going to have. Add QPR to the list :sorted:

I remember in the 90's doing a sickie at work and driving up to see your team beat us in the playoffs .You had a spell of success for a while and were involved I'd some exciting games shown on the box..good luck next season.
 

Tranmere fan here

Thanks for your commendation mate. Met a really nice guy from Tranny when we played them at home - like me he had been supporting his team for over 40 years. I am really good friends with one of your "old" players too - remember Eddie Flood? He played full back for Tranmere back in the 70's and then went on to York City where a knee injury curtailed his career.
I have a lot of time for the club and wish you every success next season
 

Tranmere fan here

Very kind words. Thanks. Feel guilty though cos I can never forgive Tranmere for the misery they caused us in the early 90s! Eric Nixon, Steve Cooper, Johnny Morrissey etc
The problem with supporting the Bees is you never forget (or forgive)!

It was Robinson and the young lad with the funny hair cut who done us on the flanks. Personally I was impressed with B'Muff who looked very strong and the only team to better us all over the park. We had to dig in and graft for
the draw rather than the points we've dropped at home where we just couldn't turn superiority into goals.

Apparently he was fairly rubbish most of the time, but he used to have an absolute blinder against us on every occasion I saw him!

Thanks. Its always great to get that sort of recognition and praise from a rival fan. Charlton, Shef wed, Bantoms and now Tranmere on my decent sides list with Huddersfield, Burnley, Doncaster and QPR the reverse.

I couldn't agree more with the first part of the above post, just surprised where he gets the 'going into administration repeatedly' bit. That's not us , we are well within the FFP rules, our stadium makes good money for the club now and the club is now self-sustaining.
Of course if we do need a bit of cash we could always ask for a sub off our owners worth in excess of £ 3/4 billion collectively but that is not the way to run a club for the future. Those are the real facts trfc.
Btw Trannie even you must have laughed at the Bornmuff chanting ''Champions'' at your place on Satdi lol
 

Tranmere fan here

Yeah, think he meant other teams going into admin, namely Doncaster... Not us.

Mr Tranmere fan, What's your views on Adam McGurk being released?

His wing play and dodgy barnet stuck out when you played at GP. Bakayogo is stalling on a contract aswell, wouldn't mind Brentford looking at both on what I've seen/remember of them.
 

Tranmere fan here

Thanks Tranmere fan. Hope we don't see you the season after next, when we are in The Premiership, and you are in The Championship!
Good luck to you next season. Really thought earlier in the season you were taking an automatic promotion place, and hope it goes well
for you for next season.

Remember that well. Nixon must have been the biggest offender of time wasting I have ever witnessed. Unfortunately at the time, in that particular play off match,
it worked for your team. But hey, we are 20 years on now!

Yes, that would have been a nice thought - but I can't remember anyone of us chanting Champions on saturday. It all happenened too quickly to be honest, we didn't really know what was going on. There was definitely cheering, which I thought was the final whistle at GP - when it was for the penalty!

There was a fair bit of sniggering by the Tranny fans though, which we had to take on the chin - also a choir of 100 or so at the Sportsman pub with a rendition of 'Top of the league, and you f**ked it up' for us when we got back there! Hey ho, thats football. I just hope we can show Donny that we are a better team than them next year.

Anyways, best of luck against Swindle and the final - hopefully the 3 best teams will go up this year, just one more to go...

A) You could/should have sung the same back re top of the league
B) I think you already showed you are a better side than Doncaster, given Paul Groves' poor start left you playing catch up right away
C) Good luck in the Championship

Cheers,

You're up and no one really cares whether it's as Champions or via the Play offs within a week or so. - it's certainly not sour grapes towards Donny who as a club I quite like but B'Muff are in my opinion the best team in this league and think you already have enough to cope in The Championship. I think we're the next best footballing side but need to learn to "win" more games when in the ascendancy, sure it will happen as this largely in experienced group of players will learn quickly from this season and reckon they'll only get better.
 

Tranmere fan here

Cheers. I drink with a couple of Tranmere fans on occasion - decent blokes, decent team - though obviously with my hand firmly on my wallet. Good luck for next season.
 

Tranmere fan here

Cheers All - yes without getting all big headed, I think we were the best team this season, but we've only got ourselves to blame for not trying to get Eddie in sooner and keeping Groves in a job for as long as we did (a car crash waiting to happen). Yes you probably might say we should do with the backing we have got, but Hudd had that and it took them a while to get up - you need the manager too. I personally think Elphick and Cook at the back have been our 'rocks' and we need to make sure we do ok next year as Harry Arter will be off - he's probably worth more than Ritchie tbh.

Tranny was great though - tried to do our Catherine Tate 'Bovered!' impressions when they were winding us up...spoke to a few of them at the end, decent bunch. The goalmouths though?? 2 inches deep of sand! madness!

Best of luck v Swindon - no one could believe what happenend to you lot on saturday - we were stunned too, and gutted he missed the pen, obviuosly. Be interesting to see how the team reacts to it. Fortunately for us it will be a great match for the neutral..

All the best for next season bud!

Some good posts on here from good lads of other teams.
Hard to swallow what happened Saturday and I am still at a loss.

That said congrats to Donny Rovers and AFCB on promotion.

Always enjoyed a trip to Donny and always a good place for a beer and have never had trouble there.Unlike some other Yorkshire sh*tholes.

As for Bournemouth, I won't go into great detail, but all I say is you have some good hard working people behind the scenes there.

Lets join these two in the Championship next season as I think they need our company.

Trfc thanks for the thread.A nice touch.
