Mersey suburb where fans buy homes to be closer to their favourite football team

Merseyside's third league football club is based in a small Birkenhead suburb where the people take great pride in their local team.

Prenton is home to Prenton Park, the 'beating heart' of Birkenhead, the pride of Wirral and the home of League Two's Tranmere Rovers Football Club. Murals and street art dedicated to the Rovers are scattered across the suburb, with the stadium itself standing above the relatively close-knit streets.

It doesn't loom quite as tall as Anfield or even Goodison Park but it is a massive part of the area, from which thousands of fans come on matchday to watch the Rovers play. Currently, a study is underway to assess the feasibility of the club leaving their home and moving into a new, more modern stadium.
