ENGLISH LEAGUE DIVISION 2
Venue: PRENTON PARK
TRANMERE ROVERS 1 YORK CITY 1
Scorers: Rowe; Lowe
Start of new football league season in England and while on a short break to Southport we had a few opportunities to visit a new ground. We decided to catch the Northern Line train from Southport and head to Birkenhead (via Liverpool Central & the Wirral Line) for this one.
We got off at Birkenhead Central and walked the long and winding road that is Borough Road which goes straight past Prenton Park.

It was a fair old walk from the town centre and it didn't help that we were up against time. There were very few fans walking to the game maybe due to the half hour walk.
As we were up against time we just paid at the cash turnstyle in the Kop end. Prenton Park for a fouth tier league side is very impressive and a great view afforded from the back of the very tall Kop Stand which dwarfs the rest of the ground.
As for the game York were good and were only denied a deserved win by a last gasp Rovers equaliser. I expected a big second half effort from the home side as they attacked the big Kop but it didn't really materialise. They did get a draw in the end though.
