A Merseyside-based LGBTQ+ supporters group has helped fans and players fall “back in love” with football.
On the face of it, Rover and Out are the LGBTQ+ and allies supporters group of Tranmere Rovers FC. However, those involved with the group have said they are much more than that and in fact are a safe space where “football fans turn into a family”.
The group was founded by Adam Siddon in 2018. The 32-year-old, from Birkenhead, saw what positive impact the likes of The Rainbow Toffees and Kop Outs - Everton and Liverpool’s LGBTQ+ supporters group perspective - were having and wanted to replicate something similar for his own club.
