IN response to demand from supporters, Tranmere Rovers have added a second later coach departure time for supporters wanting to travel to Hereford for Rovers' FA Cup Third Round replay next Wednesday (January 16, kick-off 7.45pm).
Tranmere have already announced that they are again providing FREE coach travel to the tie.
The second later coach departure time has been added for the game as part of the club's offer.

The 4.15pm departures are designed for juniors who finish school around 3.30pm and those who cannot get out of work early enough for the 2.30pm departure.
The 2.30pm departures will still operate and supporters should ensure they ask for the correct time when booking their seat.
Both options are FREE of charge.
A Tranmere club spokesman said: "Rovers always seek to include sufficient time for delays and aims to arrive at the ground around 90 minutes before kick-off to allow supporters to see the team arrive, warm up and take in the pre-match atmosphere.
"However, there is always a risk with travel, regardless of the departure time."
Based on advice from Rovers' supporters' coach provider, it is estimated that the 2.30pm departure will arrive at Hereford at 6.30pm (one stop planned).
For the 4.15pm departure, it is estimated to arrive at 7.40pm (no stops planned and no toilet facilities on board).
Though it is hoped the later departure will arrive at Hereford in time for the 7.45pm kick-off, Tranmere cannot guarantee this.
Chairman Lorraine Rogers said: "We want to make it as easy as possible for all supporters to make the journey to Hereford for free, so we have added a second departure time which is more suitable for those in school or college and those who cannot finish work early enough for the first departure.
"It is a difficult cup tie and we need as much support as possible. It is a very important game and our fans could help determine the outcome of it. The offer may cost the club money but our fans are worth it."
