Tranmere Rovers’ loyal fans to dig deep and give financial backing to club once more

Membership of the 500 Club, which is open to anyone, costs £5 per month which is to be paid by standing order. Each member's number will then be entered into a monthly draw. Half of the take – £1250 – will go to a monthly winner with the other 50% used by the Trust to support the club.
Parry, who has been in talks with the Trust about the project, hopes the first month's proceeds from the 500 Club can be used to purchase three bicycles to help with the training regimes of players recovering from injury at Prenton Park.

Meanwhile, the signing of a goalkeeper and a striker hold the key to the next phase of Parry's squad building plans for the new season. Parry hopes he can secure a deal with Gunnar Nielsen that brings the Manchester City goalkeeper on loan to Rovers for the duration of the 2010-11 campaign.
Parry has been talking to Nielson, a Faroe Islands international, his agent and staff at City about the deal this week and hopes it can be resolved some time before the League One campaign kicks off on Saturday, August 7.
Once Tranmere have secured one of their priority targets for the forward positions then Parry says he will be in a better position to fill in the remaining squad vacancies.
Parry explained: “We are looking to add four or five new faces to the players we already have here. Some of the signings we make next will be squad players. The deal we want to tie up first is a first choice striker.
“We won't be in a position to move for the other players until we know how much is left in the kitty after we've signed a striker.”

A keeper from Faeroe Islands! That's awesome!
So looks like the keeper that Locke mentioned, Joe Collister, will be the backup.
