Not as far as I'm aware... they're certainly not local rivals either.

It may be borne out of the fact that Tranmere have been top for so long and blown it in the last third of the season. Originally the decision was said to have come from the police, but they said it was the club's choice. The football league has seemingly backed Tranmere.

Although having been on a few Tranmere forums, it seems as though most Rovers fans wouldn't begrudge the trophy being paraded in front of them. Seems a bit crazy to me.

It will be interesting to see how many Bournemouth fans attend the game. We've only been allocated 2,200, but I imagine about the same number will try and get in the home end. I think we could have sold about 5,000 if there was enough room in the away end.
