The Past
Formed as Belmont fc During in 1884 in the 1980s, We were beset by financial problems and, in 1987, went into administration. However, this was a prelude to the most successful period in Tranmere's history; under manager John King, the team reached the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League in three successive seasons. Under King's successor, John Aldridge, Tranmere experienced a number of cup runs, most notably reaching the 2000 Football League Cup Final. Other cup runs include reaching FA Cup quarter-finals in 2000, 2001 and 2004

Key Game 1
Tranmere V Southampton
On The 20th Of February 2001Â Tranmere Rovers produced one of the most dramatic comebacks in FA Cup history beating Southampton 4-3.
We Were Losing 3-0 at half-time, but battled throughÂ
Veteran Paul Rideout was Rovers' hero after scoring a second-half hat-trick to cancel out the Saints' three first-half goals.
Glenn Hoddle's men dominated the first 45 minutes only to be torn apart by the Division One strugglers in the second half.
Moroccan international Hassan Kachloul, who had not scored since the opening day of the season, capped an outstanding first half performance by scoring the first and laying on the second for Jo Tessem.
The 28-year-old curled a 26-yard right foot shot into the top left hand corner leaving Tranmere keeper John Achterberg with no chance after just 11 minutes.
Key Game 2
Tranmere v Everton
Tranmere Rovers made the journey across the River Mersey to heap FA Cup humiliation on neighbours Everton at Goodison Park.
We made a nonsense of their lowly position in the First Division to leave Everton's fans in fury and pile the pressure on boss Walter Smith.
Tranmere struck Everton with two first half goals from Steve Yates and highly-rated youngster Jason Koumas.
And it was no more than the Wirral outfit deserved when Yates added his second and Tranmere's third after the break.
Koumas put more pounds on his £2m price tag with a brilliant goal and a lively performance - but Tranmere's real weapon of destruction was the pace of Andy Parkinson.
Key Game 6
Tranmere V Boreham Wood
The year 2018 will always be remembered in the hearts of every Tranmere Rovers supporter and is one that will be remembered for years to come.
So many magical moments stand out on the field but none more than Saturday 12th May at Wembley Stadium.
Determined to right the wrongs of the previous year’s Play-Off final defeat against Forest Green TRFC secured promotion back to the English Football League against all of the odds.
Tranmere played the entire 2018 final against Boreham Wood with ten men, but as one, the team and the SWA stood together and a late header by James Norwood secured a deserved 2-1 victory under the famous Wembley arch
Key Game 7
Tranmere V Newport
Tranmere Rovers earned a spot in League One thanks to Connor Jennings' last-gasp extra-time winner against 10-man Newport County.
Jennings headed home Jake Caprice's perfect cross to break the resistance of a Newport side who battled with great spirit despite a numerical disadvantage.
An even contest swung decisively in Tranmere's favour when County captain Mark O'Brien was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 89th minute.
It compounded Newport's misery as Michael Flynn's side felt they were denied a clear penalty just moments earlier when Emmanuel Monthe appeared to foul Newport forward Jamille Matt.
Rovers' win was their second play-off final success in as many years.
