History of the Hull City v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Hull City play host to Tranmere Rovers at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 11 wins out of 15 previous matches.

The last time the two teams met at Hull City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in March 1983, with Tranmere Rvs. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Tigers in a Fourth Division match.
