Tranmere Rovers, and 23 other League One clubs, now know who they will be facing next season

Article Header - Feature Story


The line-up of teams competing in League One for the 2010/11 season is now complete after this weekend's Play-Off Final games at Wembley Stadium.

In the League One Play-Off final, Millwall beat Swindon 1-0, meaning Kenny Jackett's side join Norwich City and Leeds United in being promoted to the Championship for the 2010/11 season.

Meanwhile, the following day, Dagenham and Redbridge beat Rotherham United, managed by former Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore, 3-2, also at Wembley Stadium, just three years after joining the Football League from the Conference for the first time.  The result means John Still's side join Notts County, Rochdale and Bournemouth in promotion to League One from the Football League's basement division.

Relegation from the Championship meanwhile saw Peterborough make the return to League One just one year after winning promotion from the division, and they are joined by Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday, whilst Stockport County, Southend United, Wycombe Wanderers and Gillingham were relegated from League One to League Two.

All these comings and goings mean the line up for League One next season is as follows:

AFC Bournemouth
Brentford
Brighton and Hove Albion
Bristol Rovers
Carlisle United
Colchester United
Dagenham and Redbridge
Exeter City
Hartlepool United
Huddersfield Town
Leyton Orient
Milton Keynes Dons
Notts County
Oldham Athletic
Peterborough United
Plymouth Argyle
Rochdale
Sheffield Wednesday
Southampton
Swindon Town
Tranmere Rovers
Walsall
Yeovil Town

All this means that next season Tranmere will be travelling a total of 8,448 miles to away games and back to Prenton Park next season, which is over 500 miles less than last seasons total!

The fixture list for the 2010/11 season is released on  Thursday June 17th, whilst the season is set to kick off on Saturday August 7th.  Don't forget to keep checking in to Total Tranmere for all the latest news ahead of the new season.

Shame Rotherham didn't come up. As I'm living in Sheffield at the moment, another team based in Sheffield would have been great for an away game, but it was not to be! Also gutted for all of Rotherham's ex-Tranmere crew, Ronnie Moore, Danny Harrison, Ian Sharps and Kevin Ellison (Gavin Gunning also finished the season on loan there).

Dagenham will be a new away trip though, and the first time we've EVER played them!

Very underated Kevin Ellison when he played for us but on topic it's nice to see the Mileage reduced at least a bit this season from over 9000 last season.

Gaving Gunning was awful for us, Ellison underperformed for Rovers for whatever reason.

Ronny Moore looked distraught. He has failed to get them up
and the board want to go places. Perhaps his future may be in doubt ?
Could do with Ryan Taylor.

He'll be the first manager in history to be replaced twice by John Barnes, and the last.

Back on topic (my fault for taking it off topic).....

Which games are people most looking forward to both home and away and are there many new Stadiums that people haven't visited before that they are looking forward to?

Plymouth away is the top one for me and then Sheff Weds, Rochdale and Bournemouth (Plymouth and Rochdale are new grounds for me).
