However, when I got there it wasn't as bad as I personally expected even the local people were helpful which was really nice.The home fans were welcoming towards the away fans and even made conversation with a couple in the bar.Prenton Park has the feeling and looks of a traditional football ground. Opposite is the Cowshed Stand, which got its name from the old stand that was there before it was built. It has a larger upper tier and does contain a couple of supporting pillars. Prenton Park is an association football stadium in Birkenhead, England. I've been to the two other Merseyside grounds over the years, yet Tranmere has always seemed so near yet so far from those. I travelled to Rock Ferry, on the Mersey Rail system. Atmosphere in our away end was good, but naturally, not so for the rest of the ground, with a relatively low crowd of 4621 for Tranmere until they pulled a goal back with a penalty early in 2nd half. It was a glorious Good Friday and they were still very much in the mix for an automatic promotion place.Prenton Park looks impressive from outside and inside. Up the M6 and then across to the Wirral. Slight delay to rejoin the M53 a little further away from the ground.Overall, a good trip for me. Prenton Park We've arrived at Prenton Park as our pre-season schedule continues this afternoon. Take the first left for the ground'.There is a car park at the ground which costs £5, otherwise, street parking, but beware that there is a strict local residents parking scheme in operation around Prenton Park. Away fans are housed in the 'Cowshed' at one end, which is all seated. The bar and seating area inside the stand were good and the service was fast.The game was only a friendly with most of Liverpool's star players still recovering from international tournaments. It is a pity to see a club like Notts County struggling although with Cambridge also struggling part of me was glad to see them lose today. Found the ground quite easily from remembering the map images, but didn't see many actual signposts for it. At the corner of this stand, you have several nods to Tranmere's history including a statue of former manager John King, before entering into the Main Stand where there is a fan zone immediately outside.Given the nature of the fixture, there was a much larger crowd than usual. The home side played much better football but it took them 70 minutes to break County down and you always felt the visitors could have nicked one from a set piece.
Apart from the result it was, all in all, a nice day out and a good football-watching experience.Why not write your own review of Prenton Park Tranmere Rovers and have it included in the Guide?

David Sindall adds; 'The Cock and Pullet is about a ten minute walk away from Prenton Park and is great real ale pub.
There were great views of the action and skullduggery on the pitch from here.As a neutral, I was surprised at just how passionate I became over this match. The concourses are of a good size and the acoustics of the stand good, meaning that away fans can really make some noise from inside this stand. The people I met seemed friendly enough and were happy to give me directions.Prenton Park is a very big ground for League Two. A good away win made for a good day out to a traditional football ground.This was my third visit to Prenton Park.
