Following high winds and generally rough weather overnight, Tranmere have been forced to close the Town End of the Main Stand for tomorrow's home game against Notts County.......

After strong winds caused some damage to the Main Stand roof above the Town End overnight, Tranmere has announced it is closing this section of the ground as a safety measure. The Town End of the Main Stand will be closed for Tranmere Rovers’ home game against Notts County on Saturday 5th February - kick off 3.00pm.

The Club has said it is in the process of contacting Town End Main Stand season ticket holders with the following advice:

1. Town End season ticket holders and match ticket holders can use voucher 15 from their season ticket books or their match ticket on the turnstiles to gain entry to the match in the Kop Stand, Johnny King Stand, Town Paddock or Family Paddock.

2. Town End season ticket holders and match ticket holders wishing to relocate to the Bebington End of the Main Stand can exchange voucher 15 from their season ticket books for a Bebington End match ticket (reserved seating) at the TICKET OFFICE PORTAKABIN COLLECTIONS WINDOW FROM 10AM ON SATURDAY MORNING. Supporters wishing to take up this option are advised to exchange their voucher for a ticket as early as possible to avoid queues.

Speaking of the unfortunate news, Chief Executive Mick Horton said....

"We apologise to those supporters who are affected by the closure of the Town End of the Main Stand, but the weather is unfortunately out of our control.  We ask the affected supporters to be patient and bear with us in what are unusual circumstances."

“Our main aim for Saturday is supporter safety and to ensure the game goes ahead as planned.”

Centre Stand season ticket holders along with those in the Paddocks, Kop Stand, Johnny King Stand and executive suites, plus away supporters in the Cowshed Stand, are not affected by the closure.

Working on main stand now, game not in jeopardy.
IMO The main stand needs knocking down, replace with moden fuctional stand. Surely some business will sponsor it, like Levers!
