 But Bradford and Leeds are two separate cities are they not ? No
 matter how close they are.

 What do you mean by saying it has become fashionable? There is no doubt
 that Tranmere is in Merseyside, always has been. So Tranmere are a Mersey-
 side club. They are not however in Liverpool.

 As a side issue did you know that a lot of Tranmere's supporters are also
 Liverpool/Everton supporters. Tranmere play there home games on Friday nights
 which enables supporters to go to their's and Liverpool/Everton's home games
 in the same weekend.

 Can someone post the full round up of last night's (Wed 5th) FA cup results?
