The terraces

Supporters organise against the Tranmere Rovers board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

James Plant stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” James Plant and Tranmere Rovers agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Tranmere Rovers

James Plant and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Tranmere Rovers

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Boardroom

Diego Huamán will join Tranmere Rovers for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Diego Huamán has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Tranmere Rovers have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets

Tranmere Rovers rebuffed over Braiden Graham

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Steven Wright is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Harry Mitchell steps up from the Tranmere Rovers academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Harry Mitchell has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
