After the very contentious sales of the Ingleborough Road training ground and the opening of the Academy at Solar Campus only a couple of years ago, Tranmere Rover's Academy is to close.

I'll be interested to know where Tranmere are going to train, the whole story of the Solar Campus site was to bring training and the Academy together.

Or was this all leverage to maximise financial gains from public assets?

I think you've got it in one

Well said DD, the whole episode reeked.

I can smell it from here!! Inglemere Road sold in negotiation rather than open tender.

Should read Ingieborough. Sorry
