TRANMERE Rovers celebrated their return to the Football League with supporters at Prenton Park last night.

Manager Micky Mellon, chairman Mark Palios, club president Peter Johnson and the players met the fans during the event in glorious early evening sunshine.

Twenty four hours earlier, incredible Rovers triumphantly returned to the league - after a three-year hiatus - after beating Boreham Wood 2-1 at Wembley Stadium with just 10-men, amid dramatic scenes.

After the victory, jubilant manager Micky Mellon said: "It means so much to the Football Club, you’d have to be involved inside the football club to see how desperately we need this.

"I don’t want to start crying but it did mean that much to the club to get back in to the Football League.

"It’s an unbelievably proud moment not just for me and the players or the staff and the chairman.

"We really have fought hard to get out because it’s difficult to be Tranmere in this league.

"We're everybody’s big game.

"We have to have a certain type of character to make sure we overcome that every week and players have done that, so we’re really pleased to get over the line."
