Strengthening the Board
The Tranmere Rovers Supporters Trust, (Trust) is a Community Benefit Society which represents and campaigns on behalf of Tranmere Rovers supporters on issues decided by its members at the AGM and/or by the Trust Board. The Trust also maintain channels of communication with the directors and management of Tranmere Rovers Football Club (“the Club”) and organises high quality services for the Trust’s members as well as other community-based activities to support the Club and residents of the local area.
The Trust also manages the Trust Fan Park (Marquee) situated in the Club car park as an added value match day hospitality facility for the fans (home and visiting).
The Trust have been working on a project, supported and part funded by the fans, to deliver an upgraded and larger fan park which is currently under construction, that will significantly enhance the match day experience for fans and enable the Trust to generate increased revenue from the operation of the facility for the benefit of the Trust and the Club.
