Interview with the Shrimper
Feature by Dave the Shrimper
Updated Sunday, 22nd November 2009
Take the dad out of Dad of Dave the Shrimper and you have the lad himself, answering questions asked by the excellent Rovers fan site, Total Tranmere.

What is Your Name and How Old are You?

Dave Baker; 30 years old.

How Long Have You Supported Your Team and What Made You Choose Them?

Since aged six/seven and I am 4th generation of Shrimpers so it was the only team I could ever support.

YOUR CLUB

What are Your Views on the Current Manager?

Southend's favourite son. Words can't express what a fantastic job he has done with limited resources.

If you could have one past Player back in his prime who would you have and why?

Got to be Stan Collymore. Unstoppable in his prime.

What is your Greatest Memory from supporting your Club?

First ever promotion to 2nd tier of English football with a late winner at Bury.

If you were in charge at your Club as Manager or Chairman what changes would you make?

I am fairly happy with all that goes on at the club.

What expectations do your team's fans seem to have for this season?

Just having a club to support and ideally in league one is enough.

AWAY DAYS

What are the Best and Worst Away Grounds you've Visited to date and why?

Best is the allianz arean in Munich - the worst is withdean. Should not be allowed to put away fans so far from the pitch.

Have you visited Prenton Park before and if so, what are your views?

Absolutey horrible area, pubs are ok, food is always good, miles from the station.

LEAGUE ONE

Who do you think will be Promoted/Relegated from League One this Season?

Leeds, Charlton and Huddersfield up, down will be Orient, Tranmere, Wycombe and Stockport.

Where do you think your Team will finish this season?


11th

Where do you think Tranmere will finish this season in League One?


23rd

GENERAL

On past experience, what are your views on Tranmere as a Club?

Fairly average decent footballing side and dirty of the ball.

Simon Francis was an impressive loanee for Tranmere a few seasons ago. How has he been in his now fairly lengthy spell at Southend?

Personally I really like him. Great going forward, on his day can be a match winner.

THE MATCH VS TRANMERE

Who is your Team's Man to Watch this Season and for this game
?

Lee Barnard - Super striker and one of this leagues best finishers.

Your Prediction for the Game Vs Tranmere?


1-1
