Duncan’s chosen his team
As part of his Liverpudlification, Duncan asked you which football team he should support
After opening up his phoneline and inbox to Merseyside’s internationally renowned footy fans
To be honest, the overwhelming response really only left him with one choice – Tranmere Rovers. The reds and blues applied in twos, but The Rovers showed their true colours and really grabbed the opportunity.
Not only did they outpace the response from LFC and Everton, the Tranmere boys really took the initiative, grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and sent
So here’s Duncan Barkes proudly wearing the colours of his chosen team; Tranmere Rovers. Come on the whites! Promotion’s only round the corner!
Here’s a small taster of the arguments that
Hi Duncan
We are a real friendly club with loyal fan base and we bring football truly to the community in a number of ways. Learning centre, football in the community (school holiday training sessions, etc), weekly school visits by players and much much more.
Football does not just revolve around the glamour of the premiership so come on

C'mon

We may not be a large club, or win much but as a supporter you will feel part of the club and know your support is appreciated.
We are a friendly club, small but perfectly formed!

Dear Duncan
Choose Tranmere.
Choose good, honest football.
Choose the buzz.
Choose a family atmosphere.
Choose Friday night football.
Choose a sporting time bomb just waiting to explode.
Choose the best football league hotdogs.
Choose a club that runs well on a shoestring budget.
Choose wearing a shirt that you can wear with pride.
Choose a ground where you can still enjoy the feel good factor.
Choose a team that hasn’t been spoilt by American money.
Choose watching footballers who still enjoy playing the game.
Choose to avoid the false god of the Premiership.
Choose the end of season surge towards the play offs with the somewhat optimistic hope of Championship football next season.
Choose to watch Paul McLaren lacing a 50 yard pass across Wembley’s hallowed turf to Jennison-Williams on the wing who arcs in a deep, inviting cross that’s acrobatically volleyed into the onion bag by the sublime Calvin Zola and weep without shame as Ian Goodison holds aloft the play off trophy.
Choose your future.
Choose Tranmere.
Yours
Darren

This is a real football club that has it's supporters at the heart of what it does. They provided free coach travel to FA Cup matches for it's loyal followers and offer reduced admission to encourage youngsters to go and watch 'live' football.
They may not be playing their football at the highest level but it is an honest level, where honest players play for an honest days wage. This gives the fans something very important - footballers they can relate to. These players don't live in fancy mansions with security gates, they work hard to pay their mortgages and support their families like the fans do.
When you support Tranmere Rovers you accept that this is not the purified atmosphere of the cosseted multi-millionaire football superstars but it is REAL football, played by REAL footballers for REAL supporters.
Remember, a football team is for life not just for the glory years in the Premiership /
TRANMERE ROVERS - You know it makes sense!
