Who owns morecambe football club

I took the supporters coach for the game. There's lots of parking available outside the ground. I didn't have much contact with the home supporters, except for a couple I spoke to in the shop who were very pleasant to talk to. Normally you hear about the away fans being shoved away in the worst part of the ground, but it's a refreshing change here that the away fans are actually in the nicest stand.

This Main Stand is a big deep seated stand running the length of the pitch with the away fans in one side of it. Behind the goal to the right of this stand is a small covered terrace that is for away fans but only when the seated stand is full so only our flags were here for the game.

Behind the home goal is exactly the same, a small covered terrace, whilst running the length of the pitch opposite is a small uncovered terrace. The concourse is big and spacious with a bar at the end selling well priced food and beverages, as well as some fans standing around selling programmes and half time draw tickets.

There is also a big screen showing the early kick-off. The game started poorly with neither side looking to get forward but that changed when Morecambe took the lead. We continued to look poor until a flukey own-goal got us level followed by a fantastic team goal finished off by Dean Parrett just before Half Time.

The second half livened up from our point of view as we missed several fantastic chances before a Dean Parrett second and Ben Kennedy strike saw us return south with a fantastic win. Getting away was simple. Out of the ground, but firstly back in to the club shop next door to purchase a teamsheet for 20p, then turn the corner on the left to the car park where the coach was waiting for us.

A good journey home saw us arrive back at the Lamex for 9. Well who doesn't love an away day when you win comfortably! A fantastic day out followed by a fantastic result and one I will definitely be doing again next season. For me primarily it was just another away game following my team Doncaster Rovers. However this was also to be my first ever visit to the Globe Arena, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I went on the supporters coach, so it was a three hour journey.

On arrival at the Globe Arena the away coaches parked right next to the away end. As soon as we arrived, we headed to the Hurley Flyer pub which is situated right by the entrance to the Globe Arena. It wasn't particularly large and as you would expect it was rather busy and cramped. However we did manage to get a drink, so it served its purpose. The Globe Arena is a small modern stadium, but has a traditional football ground feel to it.

The away end was okay, but I'm a big lad and the turnstiles were a bit tight! The facilities were fine and we had a good view of the pitch. The away stand itself was okay for League Two standard, we took around fans with us so we pretty much filled it. The game was amazing, Donny smashed them , and in truth it could have been more. On every attack we looked like we were going to score. The atmosphere from the away end was crazy, we sang and sang the whole game, the only time we heard something from the home supporters when they scored their goal to make it before half time, other than that, we were the only ones making the noise.

However considering the poor performance of the Morecamble team then this was probably understandable Stewards weren't the greatest, but like most other ground away supporters are not treated the best by them.

Towards the end of the game they started to increase the numbers of stewards in the away end, which considering that Doncaster are not known for causing trouble seemed strange and only increased tensions.

Other than that, it was a good time at the Globe Arena. Well it was a great away day, with a great team performance and result. Add in some food and drink, then what more can you ask for? Plus another ground ticked off the list! In all honesty, I wasn't expecting too much. Although our away form is very good, and Morecambe's home form isn't great, one would think we'd have a good chance of winning.

Traveled via the supporters coach as usual, which left Exeter at 7am. We got to the Globe Arena just after 1pm. The journey definitely dragged on towards the end, and we couldn't wait to get off the coach. We went to the ticket office so some of us could purchase tickets, and headed to the pub right outside the ground — Marstons Hurley Flyer. We left the pub around pm, and went straight into the stadium.

From the outside the the Peter McGuigan Stand looked quite nice, but the rest of the exterior was certainly nothing to shout about. Inside, we had a fairly good view, although we couldn't see one corner of the pitch as an executive box was obstructing our view. We took away fans, and we sung throughout the match, and the home fans had a drum which in all honestly drowned out their chants. The first half performance was as good a performance that I've ever seen, we fully deserved to be up at the break, and could easily have been more.

In the second half, we were more defensive, kept our focus well, and most importantly, got a clean sheet to go with our fifth away win this season. No problems getting out, got straight back onto the coach, and left pretty swiftly. There was quite a bit of traffic, but once we got onto the motorway it was fine. The whole day exceeded my expectations, that's for sure. A lovely pie to ac company the great performance was more than good enough for me. I would fully recommend the pies if you visit Morecambe FC, and I'll certainly be returning in the future.

A steady drive via M, M18 and M62, but then unfortunately the M61 was blocked by an accident. Once past Lancaster on the new bypass, the ground is well signposted as you enter the outskirts of Morecambe. I drove past the Globe Arena, over the bridge, and parked in the first side street on the left, just a five minute stroll back to the ground.

Went for a pint in the Hurley Flyer right next to the Globe Arena. There were plenty of fans of both sides in there. It had a reasonable selection of real ales and the service was not bad considering how busy it was. The Globe Arena looks very nice from the outside.

We were housed in the Bay Radio Terrace behind the goal and it was nice to able to stand for a change. The Grimsby fans also had a section of seating in the Main Stand, located nearest the away end.

The Main Stand is all seater, with executive boxes, and the opposite home end is a mirror of the Bay Radio Terrace. The fourth side of the ground is a four or five step terrace, backed by a concrete wall, which looks as though it could be redeveloped at some point in the future. Bizarrely, a fair number of Morecambe fans stood on this terrace in the wind and rain, rather than stand in the covered terrace behind the goal. Hardy or barmy, who knows?

For the third time in the last four away games, we conceded a goal within the first four minutes and never looked like scoring. The game was spoiled by a gusty wind and squally showers, and the pitch deteriorated rapidly during the second half.

Morecambe seemed to adapt much better to the conditions, and had two further goals ruled out for offside, as well as hitting the post and crossbar.

The or so Grimsby Town fans made plenty of noise as usual, but to no avail. The stewards were fine, food looked okay although I didn't try any, and the toilets were also okay. There was a bit of a queue to get away, but no worse than other places I have been to. I then got held up by an accident on the M6, but still arrived home by 8. I was also collared at Birch Services, along with another Town fan, by a Bradford City fan, who wanted his picture with us, as he loved the Sacha Baron Cohen "Grimsby" movie!

The Globe Arena is not a bad ground to visit, and I will probably go again. Everybody seemed friendly, and there was no sign of any trouble. One final point which was good, was a tweet from Morecambe Police, thanking the Town fans for their behaviour, and looking forward to us visiting again. So in my quest to 'do the 92' I had to tick it off the list.

Mansfield are having an exceptional second half of the season under Steve Evans so I was attending hoping to see our charge to the play offs continue. We left Mansfield around 9. We parked at the ground as we had been gifted a Directors parking space for the day. Didn't seem many home supporters around and the pub wasn't very busy considering its location!

The Globe Arena is smart and reminds me of their former home, as it has a smiler layout with two terraced stands behind either goal, a Main Stand running the length of the pitch and a small open terrace on the opposite side. The away section in the Main Stand offered a large concourse area with SKY TV and good views of the pitch avoid the back few rows as the directors boxes do restrict your view. The game burst into life and it was after seven minutes, Danny Rose opened the scoring for Mansfield before Paul Mullin leveled for Morecambe.

Half time arrived and Mansfield were up and it stayed that way until the end. A fantastic three points for Mansfield on our charge for the play offs and the Mansfield fans went home happy. Stewards very friendly and low key, atmosphere from the home fans wasn't bad considering how poor their team played. With only 1, in attendance getting away from the ground was pretty easy, we arrived back into Mansfield shortly before 7.

A good day out made even better by three points to go home with. This was my 81st ground out of the current 92 and would happily return to the Globe Arena. Whilst fortnighting in the Lake District with the family, and my beloved Preston North End far away in the depths of South Wales, a footy fix was needed and thus the fixture list was scoured to see what was practical and tempting.

Therefore, shortly after midday, the boys and myself left the missus and daughter to do girly things whilst we motored from our holiday cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere in gorgeous sunshine towards the M6.

Being a good 90 minutes before kick-off, we were able to pick some very handy on-street parking in Langridge Way.

We ambled the short distance to the ground, with the Peter McGuigan Stand dominating the walk up Christie Way and looking quite tidy for League 2 standards, modern and clean and flanked by two equally modern floodlight pylons. Situated in this stand, to the left as you approach, is the ticket office whereby I attempted to poach tickets for the home terrace behind the goal from the cheerful gent manning the window. This was, however, after the automated turnstiles had actually allowed us in, so the stewards had to let us back out to try and get them exchanged at the ticket office.

The cheery gent happily obliged us with a fresh set of tickets……….. Once inside, the ground does give a slightly imbalanced feel, as the Peter McGuigan Stand that dominates the approach to the ground from the outside, is by some margin the biggest stand.

It has quite interesting and novel looking VIP boxes situated in the middle. As this guide says, it is reminiscent of the little Car Wash terrace at Christie Park, very small terracing split half way down the middle, a stark contrast to the edifice opposite. Quite a few of the home support settled down in front of said wall to soak up the sunshine in the build up to kick-off, but I would suspect it would be a bleak spot from which to spectate on a bleak cold mid-winters day with driving rain hammering in over the West Lancashire coast off the Irish Sea.

As an aside, I also noted that it was the first time I had ever knowingly watched a game from the viewpoint of being 92nd in the football league; the Shrimpers having been hammered by Crewe Alexandra in their first game of the season.

Of particular note was a topical article on the continued production of said programmes as the obligation on league clubs to produce programmes had been removed over the summer. Older fans such as myself align ourselves very much with the programme producer in hoping that they continue at all clubs. An unexpected bonus was the appearance of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flying over the ground a few times; the boys being avid Air Cadets this really was a pleasing sight for them!

The overall feel of the ground is very much in keeping with the stature of the club as being one of the smaller clubs in league 2 , perhaps best represented with the sum total of cheerleaders or Shrimpettes that could be rustled up being two and a half!

As kick-off commenced, it became apparent that the Exeter City fans were all being sat in one section of the Peter Mcguigan stand, with the designated away terrace being used purely for them to string up their quite impressive collection of banners.

The visitors from Devon were however in fine voice, seeming almost as bright as their teams radioactive almost! Although the Shrimpers carved out a few good chances that they failed to capitalise on, the most glaring miss coming from their veteran Kevin Ellison, Exeter City seemed the better side with attacks down their right flank really causing problems for Jordan Cranston in the Morecambe defence.

However, just when the game seemed destined to reach the interval at a stalemate, Cranston was wrongsided by ex Preston North Ender Lee Holmes and left it too late to make his challenge that was mistimed, and there could be little complaint about the decision to award a penalty kick, which was duly converted by Pierce Sweeney.

Oh so typically it was then that when, following a period of sustained pressure, that it was the same Jayden Stockley who pounced to double the Devonians advantage. For a little while after the second goal the game seemed to go very flat, until the introductions of Messrs Leitch-Smith and Oates for the Shrimpers seemed to perk things up a bit both on the pitch and the atmosphere on the terrace. Towards the end of the match, it was the Shrimpers who finally started to pepper the opposition goal with dangerous looking shots , but it was sadly too little too late.

The final whistle blew, and no-one could argue that Exeter City were not worthy of the three points. The crowd of 1,, relatively small even by league 2 standards, and having picked prime parking facing the right direction and being the right side of the ground meant that we were on the Lancaster by-pass in next to no time at all whizzing towards the M6 and our Lake District retreat in good time for dinner!

The ground itself is more than adequate for League 2, and has a pleasingly distinctive feel to it, something that modern grounds often lack.

Scoring goals and converting chances is going to be the key area to focus on for the club on the training ground in the days and weeks to come. Tidy Compact ground with individual flavour 2.

Very friendly and helpful stewards 3. Good matchday programme, 8. Public Address system is often very woolly and difficult to hear 2. No sign of Christie the Cat, the club mascot!!! As I only have 20 grounds to now visit of the 92 and my Dad 12 all done with Wolves, the opportunity to tick another one albeit in the EFL Trophy was too good an opportunity to pass up.

We went into the pub and had some food before the kick off. Due to the nature of the game, there were very few fans milling about. The Globe Arena is similar to a number of grounds. It reminded me a lot of Telford United which is local to us. The game itself was impressive from our youngsters who looked very accomplished and deservedly took the lead.

Wolves eventually got pegged back but won on penalties. The stewards were very relaxed but that may be a result of that there were only 62 Wolves fans. The facilities were basic but nothing to complain about.

Another ground ticked off! Probably more needed in this competition to finish off watching Wolves at the lower league grounds. I now live in Edinburgh so don't get to many Orient games. This was a good opportunity to see my team and visit a new town and ground. A nice easy train journey from Edinburgh to Lancaster then a short hop on a second train to Morecambe. It took about 20 minutes to walk from the railway station to the ground but it was very easy to find. I had a couple of drinks and some food at The Station.

The pub was nothing out of the ordinary but decent beer and food. The big attraction for me was the location as they've retained parts of the old station building. I also had time for a quick trip across the road to the Midland Hotel.

This is a lovely art deco building. First opened in , it's been restored and reopened in If you walk around the right-hand side of the building you'll find The Rotunda Bar, which is open to the public. I can't say you'll find a vast range of drinks but if you want to sample some faded English seaside grandeur this is the place for you. And if you get a nice day the views are spectacular. I didn't really have any interaction with home fans but the whole day seemed pretty peaceful.

The Globe Arena is a pretty standard modern stadium. The away seats were fine and had plenty of legroom. The rest of the stadium looked neat and tidy but, like most modern stadia, a bit lacking in character. The game itself was dire. Two sides struggling for form but Morecambe were well worth their win. Their winning goal was the one bit of outstanding skill in the whole game.

I didn't sample any of the catering so I can't comment and the stewarding seemed okay. Easy enough to get out after the game and only a short walk back to the main road as I decided to get the bus into Lancaster. There was a bit of a queue of traffic to get out of the car park but it cleared in about 15 minutes. Please read our Terms and Conditions before submission.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: A good day out made even better by three points to go home with. Hugh James Neutral 17th March I visited Morecambe with two friends as part of our day out, including watching a football match, which we do every few months. We decided that we would visit a seaside team and chose Morecambe because everybody else seems to go to Blackpool.

We travelled by train which was very easy from Stafford to Crewe and changed there to go to Lancaster, where we then boarded the local rattler to Morecambe. On arrival at Morecambe Station, we waited outside at a taxi rank but no cabs showed up. So we googled a local taxi firm who we called, who then took us to the ground. We wandered along the promenade, ate and had a few drinks in the Kings Arms then one in the Eric Bartholemew. The fans and stewards were very friendly. The Globe Arena is very modern and neat, good views from the home terracing behind the goal.

The away terraced end was closed on this occasion. It was not a bad game, Exeter City took the lead but Morecambe fought back to win the game Great pies and beer at half time. Very helpful and friendly stewards. Some home fans tried to make a noisy atmosphere. Getting away from the ground was easy went to the Hurley Flyer pub, had a pint and ordered back to the Kings Arms.

A very very cold but thoroughly enjoyable day out. We were well treated by Morecambe FC, I hope they stay up. Paul Willott Neutral 11th August Morecambe v Exeter City League Two Saturday, 11th August , 3pm Paul Willott Neutral Whilst fortnighting in the Lake District with the family, and my beloved Preston North End far away in the depths of South Wales, a footy fix was needed and thus the fixture list was scoured to see what was practical and tempting.

External View Situated in this stand, to the left as you approach, is the ticket office whereby I attempted to poach tickets for the home terrace behind the goal from the cheerful gent manning the window. North Terrace Once inside, the ground does give a slightly imbalanced feel, as the Peter McGuigan Stand that dominates the approach to the ground from the outside, is by some margin the biggest stand. Plus Points for the Globe Arena 1. Thomas Inglis Neutral 22nd September I had previously been to see Morecambe at their old Christie Park ground, some ten years ago.

This was a chance to visit the new stadium and this would be my 81st different English League stadium visited. My wife and I had driven down from Dundee to Morecambe for the weekend, staying at a hotel on the promenade. Approximately a mile journey with no issues. I just walked to the ground down a straight road from the promenade taking about 25 minutes. I then left wife to look around the market and I headed to the ground. I picked up a ticket, took a picture outside the stadium.

I then had pint in the bar in the stadium JM's Bar, I think? I chatted to a few home fans, who were hoping that their team in 90th place in the leagues could beat the team in 91st place an interesting way to look at things. The large stand that runs the length of the pitch looks great, this houses the bar, offices etc.

Opposite is a terrace of only a few steps and a wall behind. I was with home fans behind the goal in 'The Omega Stand' — a covered standing area. A similar smaller stand behind the other goal housed the Macclesfield fans. I thought it was a decent ground. There was a good atmosphere in the Omega Stand with a few drummers and a trumpet and most of the singing home fans. No issues with the facilities or stewards crowd.

It was a decent game, for 2 teams near the bottom of the league. A few chances for both teams in the first half, the turning point though was the sending off of Rose for Macclesfield about 5 minutes from half time.

Also a Macclesfield player was stretchered off earlier in the half resulting in nine minutes injury time. Morecambe took the lead around the hour mark with Leitch-Smith netting a cute front post flick. Macclesfield briefly rallied to equalise with a great shot from just inside the box by Whittaker about 70 minutes. Around 5 minutes later Morecambe got back in front with a good breakaway goal, Fleming racing clear to slot past the keeper. Morecambe managed the game to the end comfortably for the win to lift them to the lofty position of 89th and consign Macclesfield to the bottom.

Martin Howard Tranmere Rovers 6th October It is nice to attend a game when you know that there is likely to be more away fans than home fans in attendance. A s traightforward drive now that the new section of link road has been opened from the M6. Went for a couple of beers in the Hurley Flyer next to the ground.

It seemed to be full of Tranmere fans. There was a good atmosphere inside. It did serve food but I waited to get into the ground to sample one of their famous pies.

The Globe Arena is a tight ground, with covered areas to three sides including the standing away end. Also, a section of the Main Stand is also allocated for away fans who wish to sit. A cracking game finishing to Tranmere. It was end to end stuff. There was a great atmosphere from the large away section.

After the final whistle, there was a mass brawl between players and coaching staff. As the car park was at the rear of the away stand, it was relatively straightforward to get away from the ground. Just a little congested once on the main highway. A g reat day out. The sun shone and Tranmere even secured another three points on the road. Alex Hendrikson Sunderland 13th November Had I known a couple of years ago that in the not too distant future I would be making overnight midweek trips to watch Sunderland in a fourth cup competition, I would have been eagerly checking my passport details were up to date.

Skip forward, and we found ourselves on a train bound for Morecambe to watch an away match in the final round of group games in the Checkatrade Trophy. According to some, there was still a chance of Sunderland being eliminated if results went a certain way, although I didn't have the mathematical capacity, or indeed the inclination to find out how.

Googling things to do in Morecambe revealed the main and possibly only attraction to be a statue of Eric Morecambe. On finding it we joined a queue of Sunderland supporters with similar ideas looking for a photo opportunity. Beyond that, we had a walk along the seafront, a trip to an amusement arcade before deciding to check in to the hotel. While it didn't quite live up to its grandiose name, the ground is quite smart.

Sunderland had brought a rather absurd supporters to the game and so were housed in part of the stand and the terrace behind the goal. We opted for a comfortable seat in the Main Stand which offered a good view of the action — being close to the pitch with a good gradient. Nobody sat down so we stood the whole game anyway.

That the Morecambe keeper did not make a save, yet was awarded man of the match, probably tells you enough about the game. I felt thankful for the unseasonably mild weather during a particularly wretched second half. I went by the official coach which was awful due to the fact it was old, uncomfortable and didn't have a toilet on board.

We arrived about 45 minutes before kick-off so went straight in for something to eat and drink. I didn't really see any home fans before the game. The ground is modern and when entering the away section in the Peter McGuigan Stand it looks quite good. However, if a visiting team have a large following then those in the top 6 rows won't be able to see easily the far nearside corner flag towards the home end and a fair amount of the pitch on that side. The reason being is that the Hospitality boxes to the left of the away section jut out at the back of the stand, which is badly designed.

Rest of the stadium is mainly standing but looks good. The wind was a nightmare and caused havoc to both teams. However, we like to think we play football on the ground and therefore it should have suited us better. It didn't and Morecombe deserved their win. Even when we got back to to give us a glimmer of hope, you always felt Morecambe could score again which they did to make it The atmosphere was muted but what do you expect on a windy Tuesday evening when the visiting team's supporters have such a long way to travel.

We got back at am. As mentioned before the pie was very good but more choice is needed. Ian Bradley Neutral 13th April I had always wanted to go to the Globe Arena so when the opportunity arose I decided to make my first visit.

I had a very frustrating train journey riddled with delays but I still managed to get to the ground before kick off. The Globe Arena is a tidy ground with good facilities. It does look a bit lopsided with only a small terrace running down the opposite side to the Main Stand.

There is a covered terracing behind both goals. Not the best of games but a blood and thunder League 2 encounter that finished , which in truth was a fair outcome. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:.

Josh Wolverhampton Wanderers 1st October It took two hours and was very easy. We parked at the pub next to the ground. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Easy!

Back in the car within two minutes and back on the M6 within 10 minutes! Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Another ground ticked off!

Graeme Whitton Leyton Orient 2nd November Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Easy enough to get out after the game and only a short walk back to the main road as I decided to get the bus into Lancaster.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Overall, I enjoyed the day out but not the actual game. I had heard good things about the pies. A nice little town, a fairly tidy ground and another to add to my I wandered around the town, which was pretty but nowhere was open, which was not surprising with it being out of season. The Crewe fans to their credit were in fine voice enjoying a promotion push and dare I say it a title race.

Getting away was a nightmare, with a few Morecambe youngsters throwing bricks at the coaches, resulting in a window being put through. Adrian Hurst 29th August Was keen to visit a new ground to see if our good start to the season could be continued.

Travelling north on the M6 on Bank Holiday weekend is not to be recommended! Setting off at 7am we eventually arrived 6 hours later with only a minimal but necessary stop en-route. The ground was easy to find and was well signposted - and there was lots of unrestricted off street parking. Having seen previous reviews we walked down to the Boardwalk - as did what seemed like hundreds of other SW fans. The place was full to the rafters and it took almost 30 minutes to get served, so it was a quick beer before making the return walk back to the ground.

Stopped at 'Kennedy's Bakery and Butchers' on the walk back where we got the most amazing pies, along with beetroot and gravy - can well recommend! Have to say that there was large police presence, but they seemed very friendly and helpful and could happily engage in a bit of banter.

Although tiny the ground looked smart and tidy from the outside. The turnstiles where the automatic bar code scanner type and these seemed to be working quite well. Inside the ground there was a narrow walkway behind the terrace and the gents, ladies and snack bar were in this area.

There was also a large walkway in front of the terrace allowing fans to easily walk across from one side to the other. I was surprised that despite it being a sell out and record crowd for that ground there seemed lots of room on the terrace which could have accommodated a significant number of additional supporters without a problem Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

The game was quite dour and was summed up perfectly when the only goal was an unfortunate deflection for an own goal from a corner. The atmosphere was generally very good and the locals enjoyed their version of David and Goliath! The stewarding was visible but low key.

Can't comment on the food or drink as I had neither, but the toilets were as good as any other ground that I have been to Comment on getting away from the ground after the game Following the game there was no segregation and I didn't see any evidence of any aggression between rival fans. Our car was no more than 3 or 4 minutes walk away and although busy the traffic was moving away swiftly with the result that within about 20 minutes of the game ending we were back on the M6 heading south Summary of overall thoughts of the day out Enjoyed the day despite the traffic issues heading towards the game and the result.

This was a nice, warm, sunny August day - not sure that it would be as pleasant on a cold Tuesday night in February with the wind, snow and rain blowing in across Morecambe Bay!
