Tranmere Rovers Football Club

This should not be confused with 'equal pay' which is a more specific legal concept that deals with the pay differences between men and women carrying out comparable jobs. A gender pay gap does not equate to the existence of an equal pay issue.

The data published represents Tranmere Rovers Football Club only. It does not include data for Tranmere Rovers in the Community or Tranmere Rovers Football Club (International) Limited as these are separate entities that do not employ over 250 people. The Club has published data for the snapshot period of the 5th April 2023 as required by law. The full-pay of relevant employees form the basis of the gender pay gap calculations. 

The data relates to those paid by the club in the snapshot period of 5th April 2023, and includes players and casual workers.  The data can be viewed at gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk and search for 'Tranmere Rovers Football Club'.

In order to produce out gender pay data, we are required to carry out six calculations that show the difference between the average earnings of men and women in the Club:

1. Mean gender pay gap

2. Median gender pay gap

3. Mean bonus gender pay gap

4. Median bonus gender pay gap

5. Proportion of males and females receiving a bonus payment

6. Proportion of males and females in each quartile band

The mandatory data represents all Tranmere Rovers FC staff, including players and casual workers. We have also provided voluntary data which uses the same calculations but excludes players.

We understand that our professional players are generally our highest earning employees and are all male and the impact this has had on our gender pay data. It should be noted that our senior leadership team within football operations, including the first team manager, are all mainly male which significantly contributes to the Club’s gender pay data. Tranmere Rovers FC is committed to promoting all forms of diversity across the Club and breaking the stereotypes associated with the football industry wherever possible. The Club will continue to develop and promote its Equality and Diversity policies and remain committed to providing opportunities for the very best candidates regardless of gender, ethnicity, background or any protected characteristics.

We confirm the data reported is accurate and signed off by a Director of the Company.
