We have been provided with the following information for any supporters travelling to tomorrow’s game away at Tranmere Rovers in League Two.
Car Parking:
Official car parking is available at the ground but there are limited spaces at £7 cash on the gate or online for £6 at www.trfctickets.co.uk, subject to availability.
The Mersey Clipper pub next door also provides parking at a cost – payable on the day – but this is a very small car park and does often fill up fast.
Please be mindful that all roads around Prenton Park are resident parking only and there will be road closures in place around the ground from approximately an hour ahead of KO and for the 30 minutes following the game.
The details of any road closures can be found ahead of the game on Tranmere’s SLO social media pages.
Coaches:
Coaches will be able to drop off on Borough Road alongside the away end, before being parked in our car park or on the main road (dependent on number of coaches). The Tranmere Ticket Office will advise on any costs for coaches in the car park and how to book a space if necessary.
The coaches will then return to Prenton Road West (behind the away end) before the end of the match.
Train Travel:
Fans travelling from Liverpool/Chester should alight at either Birkenhead Central or Rock Ferry Station (Merseyrail) – both are around a 15-20 minute walk from the stadium.
Alternatively, taxis can be found outside both Chester and Liverpool station – it is significantly cheaper to travel by taxi from Liverpool but it can still be expensive due to the tunnel charges.
Important Info:
- We’d like to take this time to remind fans that Prenton Park is a no smoking stadium, including e-cigarettes.
- There is also a strict no pyro policy in place. Should a pyro be set off, the food and drink outlets will be closed immediately to protect the safety of staff at Prenton Park.
- Flags, complete with a fire safety certificate are permitted and fans should alert a steward on arrival at the away end to be shown where to place their flags.
- Drums are usually permitted, however we ask for drums and any other instruments fans contact us in advance either via email or social media so we can ensure the stewards are informed.
- We would also like to make you and your supporters aware of TRFC’s Match Day Incident Line which can be contacted if a supporter hears any discriminatory or threatening language, or to report something that needs immediate attention. The number is 07399 152692. The Kick it Out app can also be used to report any incidents at Prenton Park.
Local Food and Drink:
Away fans are typically welcomed into our Fan Park outside the ground, however this can be particularly busy in the hour before kick-off.
Small groups of away fans are welcome in both the Mersey Clipper and the Prenton Park pubs, which are short walks from the stadium. There are also a number of pubs in Liverpool and Chester which fans may prefer to stop at if travelling by train.
There are your usual hot food and drinks, as well as alcohol served in the away end but there is also a small Tesco and a few takeaways found on Borough Road near the ground.
Cash Point:
The nearest cash point is on Borough Rd just behind the away end, about 50 meters walk outside Tesco’s or alternatively, for anyone walking from Rock Ferry Station, there are cash points on Mount Rd which is a few hundred meters from Prenton Park.
