Details have been released about how fans can give the returning Tranmere Rovers team a heroes’ return.

Wirral Council will hold a special event tomorrow evening, where Super White Army fans will be able to pay tribute to the team and staff after Saturday’s dramatic Wembley win.

Micky Mellon’s men secured a breathtaking victory over Boreham Wood in the capital to cement their return to the Football League, sparking wild celebrations amongst their fans.

And now the players and staff are set for a special civic reception in Wirral - followed by a chance to salute their faithful supporters.

The event will see the National League play-off winners’ team and manager Micky Mellon congratulated by town hall chiefs, and take place at Birkenhead Town Hall on Wednesday.

It’s set to start at 6pm, and fans are invited to bring scarves, banners and flags to see the Super White Army met by the leader of Wirral council, Cllr Phil Davies and the new mayor, Cllr Geoffrey Watt.

Tranmere Rovers chairman Mark Palios said: “This has been a historic few days for Tranmere and it is great that the players, the staff and most of all the supporters will have an opportunity to celebrate it together with the council and the people of the Wirral.

“We are a community club, and celebrating with the community feels the right thing to do.”

The civic reception will take place in the main room at Birkenhead Town Hall, and members of the first team, along with team manager Micky Mellon will make an appearance on the town hall veranda to speak with fans to thank them for their support this season.

Cllr Davies said: “Seeing Rovers back where they belong in the Football League is fantastic news for the whole borough.

“We all remember the glory days at Prenton Park, with the Johnny King and John Aldridge teams, and after the incredible result at the weekend, I am sure Micky Mellon and his team will be writing their own page in the Tranmere history books.

“I encourage every Tranmere fan to get down to Hamilton Square on Wednesday evening – bring your scarves, banners and flags and let’s give the boys the celebration they deserve.”

The event comes after thousands of fans travelled down to Wembley on Saturday to watch James Norwood score a late winner against Boreham Wood - after their team went down to 10 men from the first minute.

Paula Basnet, chief executive of Wirral Chamber of Commerce, said she believed having Tranmere back in the Football League can only be good news for the borough.

She said: “We are delighted that Tranmere Rovers made such a successful end to the season in gaining promotion to the football league. It is a very important and respected Patron Member of Wirral Chamber of Commerce, not only as a football club but also as a key business and for the work it carries out in supporting the wider Wirral community.

“Our congratulations go to all at Tranmere Rovers, Mark and Nicola Palios, Micky Mellon and the team, its staff and its loyal supporters.”
