History of the Tranmere Rovers v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City travel to take on Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 24 out of 36 times.

The last time the two teams met at Tranmere Rvs. was back in November 1998, over five years ago, with Bradford City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Rovers in a League Division One match.
