Prenton Park

TRANMERE ROVERS

Prenton Park (capacity 16,587)

Prenton Park has been home to Tranmere Rovers since 1912, and was until their recent promotion the largest stadium in non-league football. The stadium itself has gone through several redevelopments, the latest of which was in 1995 as a response to the Taylor Report.

The oldest stand is the Main Stand, which was constructed in 1968, and is two tiered with supporting pillars. The Kop, at one end of the stadium, is only one tier but is the tallest stand in the stadium by some distance. The Cowshed Stand, where the away fans are based, is a strange looking stand as the amount of rows decreases on one side which makes it look sloped. The Johnny King Stand is named after Tranmere’s former manager.

Away fans visiting Prenton Park are located in the Cowshed Stand, with a typical allocation of around 2,500.
