Rovers to have 1000 more tickets available for Saturday's huge League One match
Tranmere Rovers have this morning announced that a further 1000 tickets will be made available for the club's huge League One game with Stockport on Saturday.
Tranmere go into the game needing to pick up at least a point, but more likely a win to try and retain their place in League One for the 2010/11, needing to finish above one of Exeter, Gillingham or Hartlepool.
Rovers were given an initial allocation of 2,000 tickets for the game at Edgely Park, but long queues this morning saw Rovers fans snap up the remaining 200 tickets.
As a result, Tranmere Rovers have requested another 1000 tickets from Stockport, with the tickets due to arrive at the Prenton Park ticket office at 1pm today (Tuesday).
Fans wishing to go to the match are urged to get to Prenton Park at roughly 1pm if they wish to be certain of getting a ticket for the match.

By the way here's an update of Hartlepool's situation, which could affect us:
Pools To Hear Verdict On Thursday
Posted on: Tue 04 May 2010
The Football Disciplinary Commission hearing charges against Hartlepool United for fielding an ineligible player in their match against Brighton & Hove Albion has been adjourned.
A Football League spokesman said: "A Football Disciplinary Commission met today to consider the charge against Hartlepool United for fielding a player (Gary Liddle) whilst he was suspended from playing for accruing 10 yellow cards.

"The Commission has now adjourned to consider its decision.
"The Commission's decision will be released on Thursday 6th May. No further comment will be made."
Perhaps The 3 Points That They Got For Winning The Game Plus 3 More As A Punishment?
Yes they've broke the rules and deserve a punishment, but they hardly gained an unfair advantage on other teams, so a fine would be suitable.
However they did gain 3 points unfairly, therefore these, in my opinion, should be deducted, and a fine as a punishment.
I feel sorry for their fans I really do, however this is a relegation dogfight, rules have been broken and appropriate punishments should be applied.
Their is some serious incompetence at the top of their club.
Back on topic though, good to see their is going to be 3000 plus Rover's fans on Saturday, should be a good day and if we stay up it'll be a fantastic occasion.
