TRANMERE Rovers Football Club chairman Lorraine Rogers has announced the end of her association with the team.

Ms Rogers joined the board at Tranmere 10 years ago and insisted that she still believed the Coca-Cola League One club has a bright future. However, she said she was stepping down because of her disillusionment with the game.

In a letter to supporters, she said: “I hate what is happening to our national game below the Premiership.

“We’ve had some good years and some bad years on the pitch over the last decade but it has become more and more difficult for smaller clubs to survive.

“The inequalities in the game seem to be more pronounced.

“It gets worse every season.

“Sadly, it seems as if the sport is more about money than about football.”

Ms Rogers will stay at Prenton Park until the end of the season.
