Tranmere have for a long time been the underdogs on Merseyside supported by the local authority whose logo Wirral has been on the club’s shirt since 1989. This traditional club founded in 1884 have a history of cup success, reaching finals and semi finals in the last twenty years despite never gracing the top tier of English football. These unexpected cup runs have led to sponsors enjoying the added value of coverage live on terrestrial TV. The club has strong ties with the local communities investing heavily in youth programmes and support.
