Tranmere Rovers will finally welcome their "12th man" back to Prenton Park tomorrow when more than 3000 fans will be allowed in the ground for the crucial Sky Bet League Two Play-Off first leg against Morecambe.

To ensure fans can support the team safely, Wirral Council and the Club are asking anyone attending the game to add a symptom free test to their pre and post-match routines.

Symptom-free testing helps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as some people with the virus don't get symptoms but can still spread it to others.

Supporters attending the game are encouraged to take a symptom-free test within 24 hours of attending to help reduce the risk of any potential spread of COVID-19.

In addition to this, fans are also asked to take a test two days and five days after attending the match, to ensure that cases of COVID-19 can be identified early to prevent further spread, and help fans get into the habit of twice weekly testing.

Anyone attending the game can get a test with the help of our staff or collect a home testing kit from our symptoms-only testing centres at:

Mobile testing vehicles – on Thursday 20 May from 9am to 5pm at Tesco Heswall, Greasby Library, Birkenhead Park and Bebington Oval (subject to weather conditions)

Former House of Fraser Building, Grange Road, Birkenhead – Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:15pm, Saturday, 9am to 2:15pm, Closed Sunday

Floral Pavilion, New Brighton – Monday to Friday, 10:30am to 6:15pm, Saturday and Sunday, 10:30am to 2:15pm

Testing kits are also available from over 80 pharmacies in Wirral and many council buildings. For more details just click or tap here.

When travelling to and from the stadium or socialising before the match, supporters are asked to be considerate of others and follow the guidelines - remember hands, face, space and fresh air.

Here's wishing Tranmere well. In some ways it was a disappointing and chaotic end to the season - now Rovers have the playoffs chance to put it all behind them and enter a bright new future.
