Tranmere Rovers F.C. regained Third Division status at the first attempt in 1975–76.

They rose to the top of the table after winning nine times in eleven games, including beating Torquay United 7–1 and Workington 6–0. John James was signed from Chester City, then Clive Griffiths arrived from Manchester United as Rovers remained in the promotion race.
