A reminder to all fans that admission to this Sunday's home match against Bristol Rovers at Prenton Park is just £5.00 for everyone in all Stands as the Club look for increased support for the game as well as thanking the fans for their support this season too.
As Tranmere Rovers' home match against Bristol Rovers on Saturday draws ever closer, Total Tranmere would like to remind all supporters that the Club have cut admission to the game, which takes place this Sunday (5th April) with a 3.00pm kick-off, to just £5 for EVERYONE.
All supporters can watch the match for only £5.00 in all home stands which amounts to a discount of up to £14.00 on normal prices.
Rovers currently have the best home record in League One with thirteen wins and four draws this season and are just outside the Play Offs with seven games remaining.
Speaking of the offer when it was first announced last week, Tranmere Chairman Lorraine Rogers said....
"This is a huge match for the Club as we fight to get in the Play Offs. It's an opportunity for football fans to come and support their local team on a Sunday afternoon and we want the public to come and back us."
"Our £5.00 admission price is a way of making the game as accessible as possible for all. This is a really tough economic time for the Club but we want to attract as many supporters for what could be a vital game as aim for the top six."
"Our fans have been excellent this season, and it would be wonderful to see a packed out ground for this important match."
"This is just one of a number of special ticket initiatives the Club has run this season as we continue our ongoing commitment to be the best value for money family football club in the region."
In addition to massively reducing admission prices, the Club is also providing special match entertainment, with Ellesmere Port Sea Cadet band and also some competitions for supporters.
Suite tickets can be purchase in advance form the Ticket Office, the prices for which are:
Tranmere Suite - Adults £12.00 Juniors £10.00
Vice President's Suite - Adults £17.00 Juniors £12.50
Dixie Dean Suite - Adults £26.00 Juniors £17.00
Admission to the game is by cash on the turnstiles for the Kop Stand, Paddocks and Johnny King Stand but as usual, tickets must be purchased from the Ticket Office for the Main Stand.
Club Shop and Ticket Office opening hours are as follows:
Monday to Friday - 9.30am to 5.00pm
Midweek Match-Nights - 9.30am to Kick-Off
Non-Match Saturdays - 10.00am to 1.00pm
Match Saturdays - 10.00am to Kick-Off
This match kicks off at 3.00pm on Sunday because the fixture was moved from the Saturday to the Sunday at the request of Merseyside Police because of the Grand National which takes place at Aintree on Saturday afternoon.
The Club are also still looking for Fans to lend and hand in spreading the word about the special offer in a bid to get even more people in through the gates on Sunday.

In view of your stance on pricing for away fans on Sunday I and a few others are not bothering to attend the game. It's a shame that your Chairman has taken this stance, I feel that a lot more Gasheads would have turned up if you charged £5 for everyone.
When Stoke did this too us a few years ago, against the rules then, we beat them 2-0, I only hope that we can repeat this in protest against your actions.
The less away fans the better for this game I suppose especially as our support will be greatly increased too!
We play at Prenton Park by the way!

A) a roof
a seat
C) clean toilets (and their toilets - not port-cabins!!)
D) food bar that can serve more than 5 people an hour.
Your prices are more than us, yet your facilites are awful, yes I understand your frustration that it's reduced for home fans, but at least we provide good facilities for fans in our ground rather than something thats more pre-war standard.
