Title: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 15:56:24 Any one going ? I am and booked a B&B so hoping Morecambe is a good night out.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 15:57:19 Have been looking forward to this more than I was got wembley, should be quality.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 15:59:38 Yes im looking forward to it as well ! Will be a quality weekend :)
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Langers on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 16:11:01 Not sure yet, might go up for the weekend, as I have never been to Blackpool either (I have a feeling thats not a bad thing)
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Hitchinred on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 16:27:44 Was looking a while ago and you could get single tickets for £24 from Blackpool to Swindon on Sunday ahead of the Monday game. Left it too late so now it's £82.20 off peak return from Euston to Morecambe and a day trip only.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Hoboken on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 16:49:22 Going up this Saturday with the family for the week - the only downer is I have to miss the Rovers game in order to get there at a reasonable hour! ::)
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 07:51:33 Walking to the game, first time been able to say that about a town game for 20 odd years!
Good luck those going out in Morecambe...... Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 07:52:55 Was looking a while ago and you could get single tickets for £24 from Blackpool to Swindon on Sunday ahead of the Monday game. Left it too late so now it's £82.20 off peak return from Euston to Morecambe and a day trip only. Check out a Euston to Lancaster off peak return, I am sure thats only about £75 and the return from lancaster - Morecambe (you will have to change in lancaster anyway is about 2-3 quid. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: LucienSanchez on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 08:03:34 Few days in Blackpool for this... looking forward to it (hope the 90 minutes of football isn't a let-down!)
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: LJ9 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 08:45:10 5 of us going up!! Maybe more. Hopefully the Easter weekend weather is nice
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 09:25:10 Hope to stay over in Blackpool after the game for a night on the big dipper!
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 09:48:08 Was going, then saw the hotel prices for easter weekend for the family were practically the same as a week away at the end of August.
So now not going. Damn my tardyness in booking. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: nevillew on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 10:48:32 Was going, then saw the hotel prices for easter weekend for the family were practically the same as a week away at the end of August.

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 13:50:15 I'm going to this. Blackpool is a hole by the way. If drunk northern thugs is your thing then you should enjoy it.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 13:54:28 Spend it on season tickets instead Batch ! Thanks for the reminder! edit: Done, so now watch them extend it within 10 minutes.... Oh and done over the phone, 30 seconds wait. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 15:32:33 Thinking of going up... might depend on how much petrol is costing by this time next week though!

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:39:33 Why do you say that is it a shit night out ? Quote from Mrs Batch (northerner) "not been there since a kid, but its even more of a shithole than Blackpool". But I guess it might be good... Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:46:18 Quote from Mrs Batch (northerner) "not been there since a kid, but its even more of a shithole than Blackpool".

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:49:25 Quote from Mrs Batch (northerner) "not been there since a kid, but its even more of a shithole than Blackpool". But I guess it might be good... I think Mrs Batch may be correct... However to be fair, after living up here on and off for around 10 years (Lancaster not Morecambe) I have still never been out in Morecambe, but everyone I have ever discussed it with concurs with the opinion of Mrs Batch. Depends what you want, Lancaster is a good night out if you are young (like I no longer am) as there are two universities here and thus huge numbers of students. Blackpool is good if you want it interesting (check Funny Girls). Just excited about the idea of seeing another Town shirt in town for first time since been here! Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:54:21 Blackpool is good if you want it interesting (check Funny Girls). Oooh no you aren't getting me like that. I had my stag weekend in Blackpool, our "hotel" was just down the road from there. I'm not getting mixed up am I, too big adams apple, etc... Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:55:53 To be honest just after a few trouble free pints in a few pubs around Morecambe.

Oh yes, and they take those Adams Apples and dance on the bar - its like Coyote Ugly.... Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:59:31 To be honest just after a few trouble free pints in a few pubs around Morecambe. I honestly don't know.... may be being grossly unkind as i say in all this time never tried it.

Not wanting to sound like a Leeds/Forest/Wednesday/whoever fan, but teams raise their game against us. No doubt about it.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Saturday, March 31, 2012, 13:34:52 Thinking of going up for this and then heading up to Glasgow to see the mighty Queens Park play on the Saturday.

I assume I will be Ok with buying tickets on the gate, taking my father in law which will be interesting, will need to apologise for my language beforehand. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 09:03:51 If you want seats, they are available in advance... but if you want terrace, it's pay on the day (i think)

Quote Fans' Fun Day for Good Friday Fans' Club and Morecambe FC are pleased to say that we will be having a Fans' Fun day this coming Friday 6th April. The theme for the day is Italian/Mafia Beach Party. Come in whatever makes you look like Paolo Di Canio, bring your flags, balloons and bring the noise. During the game Christie will be handing out Easter Eggs to the little ones and there will be the ever popular half time "Open the Box" as well as another go at the Crossbar Challenge. We will also be looking for the best "Paolo pushes over the ref" impersonation so get practising. After the game from around 6.30 or so (so you can still watch the Man of the Match presentation and talk about the game) we'll be holding a fun quiz (pound per person in each team) with cash prize. So if you think your general knowledge stacks up, your Shrimps trivia is tops or you know your music come along. After the quiz we'll be having a few tunes from a DJ as well as the kind of quality beers and food we've come to expect at the Globe Arena. The banter will be turned to maximum so come and join in the fun. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, April 5, 2012, 18:59:28 Oh dear.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, April 5, 2012, 19:03:59 Reckon we can get 50 % of the attendance tomorrow ? They seem to get about 2,000ish home fans per game (a few less recently) with an average away following of about 200, but the pull of Paolo will add a few hundred to the home crowd I think making it about 2,200 home fans, if we can get 1,100 away fans then I think we will be about 33% of the attendance by my guestimate on the home crowd.We had 37 % at Barnet. I would think we will get around 1,000 fans there tomorrow in a crowd of around 3,200.

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Batch on Friday, April 6, 2012, 06:11:15 We'd never won at Underhill, never beaten D&R and beaten Cheltenham only once. We took 9 points off those three.
This season is throwing very few downers anda lot of uppers. I'm done with guessing based on history though. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Flashheart on Friday, April 6, 2012, 11:07:46 Quote The banter will be turned to maximum Ace Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, April 6, 2012, 11:37:26 What about Wycombe, Accrington and Boston though Reg. It's a fair point about Wycombe, but it was a long time ago now....Boston were managed by Steve Evans, and Stanley, I regard as a league club, whose place was disgracefully taken in an early example of franchising. Anyway we didn't win at the Crown Ground on their return to the FL. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Friday, April 6, 2012, 11:40:44 I'm here now. Won't be coming back in a hurry. Still nice boozer called The William Mitchell.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, April 6, 2012, 11:41:25 We've a terrible record against newly arrived from non-league sides on their own grounds, unless they're managed by Steve Evans...so Rushden and Diamonds, Dagenham and Redbridge, Macclesfield, Burton Albion, Cheltenham, Oxford, lost v the lot. In some cases this season, in others this season and a few others. A win would be a major surprise.. Yes it will be the shock of the season Reg ::)Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Flashheart on Friday, April 6, 2012, 11:49:27 Yes it will be the shock of the season Reg ::) It'll send tremors through the footballing world Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 05:09:27 So Reg, we done the unthinkable and managed to scrape a win.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 08:26:48 What was Christie Park has now got a bloody great big Sainsbury's on it! Christie Park was their former ground; they moved to the Globe Area about 2 Seasons ago Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 08:51:01 So Reg, we done the unthinkable and managed to scrape a win. Truly shocking. I can't believe it hasn't got more press coverage. This was an upset of epic proportions. QPR might have beaten Arsenal last week, Aldershot might have knocked West Ham out of the cup earlier in the year, but Swindon Town beating Morecambe away? Truly incredible. In years to come, everybody will remember where they were when plucky Swindon won at the Globe Arena. I will treasure this moment for ever.

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: THE FLASH on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 09:01:13 They must have played their reserves They played a shit tommy mooney! Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 10:10:40 It looks like some fans of Morecambe have seen in Paolo what we see in him, maybe he is finally winning over a few opposition fans, heres a couple of quotes from the Shrimpers Forum.
Quote At first I though he was a mad hatter. But then I realised that he was constantly telling his subs how to do things if they got on. Showed a new perspective on the management game. Excellent. Worth the entry fee alone. Destined for greater things, probably sooner rather that later. Close season move? Quote In the first half he seemed to be giving a 5 min lecture on how to kick the ball he had his back towards the game and didn't watch any of it for a while as he talked to them. I loved the way after every incident he would run back to the bench and get onto his assistant. Been his assistant must be the worst job in football :soapy tit wank: Quote Thought Di Canio was pure box office today God knows what he's like when they lose One mistake for them and they get subbed and no handshake ! and at the end everyone gets a big hug especially Jimbo Thought the funniest bit today was when he turns quickly and berates the 4th official about them being given offside ... why funny ? because he had his back to the action and wasnt even watching the incident at the time the whistle went as he was remonstrating with his own bench but re-acted totally to the noise of their fans !! Very much a 'lone wolf' and his own man - but it obviously works for him so far oh, and I would love to watch a Crawley v Swindon game ! Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Oaksey Moonraker on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 14:40:06 I thought it was hilarious yesterday with Paul Benson celebrating the winning goal with SuperTed and other assorted superheroes. The Town Fans after the game on the open top double decker bus made me laugh out loud and singing 'We're top of the bus, We are Swindon, We're top of the bus'.
I am sure there will be more amusing tales come out over the weekend Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Family at War on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 15:03:23 My claim to fame, yesterday at Morecombe I went to the toilet and had Ironman one side and Superted the other side. Still even super heroes get taken short I suppose.

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 16:58:02 Well the football weren't pretty but we got a much needed 3 points and i had a great time ! Morecambe a bit run down though and quite a few places closed down so ended up going out in Lancaster which weren't much better to be fair.

Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:32:27 Lancaster looks a tough old northern city. The sort of place where you don't take liberties.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:34:50 Lancaster looks a tough old northern city. The sort of place where you don't take liberties. Its not that bad (nowhere near as bad as Morecambe), I have lived up here for 14 years (on and off) having been bought up near Witney and I would have no more concerns going out in Lancaster than there! The thousands of students are both a positive and negative impact on the town! Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:39:39 I take it the old industrial buildings by the river are disused ?? They look about 120 years old.
Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Dirty Harry on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:44:03 Just out of interest where did you go? Not sure on names mate as got pretty hammered Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:46:09 I take it the old industrial buildings by the river are disused ?? They look about 120 years old. Yep they have been trying to do them up since I have been here, but unlike most places the quayside in Lancaster isn't much used for pubs etc. Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:49:54 If that was Newcastle, it would be luxury apartments by now. I guess there isn't a market for that! I've been to a lot worse places anyway. Scariest I can remember as a lorry drivers mate when I was a kid is Bolton. Absolute hole.

I've been to a lot worse places anyway. Scariest I can remember as a lorry drivers mate when I was a kid is Bolton. Absolute hole. Lived in Newcastle before came here and I agree, never understood why quay in Lancaster has never taken off. I dislike Bolton intensely and have the pleasure of going through on the train everyday on way to work. A total hole and possibly the worst place in country to drive (except Reading!) Title: Re: Morecambe Away Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Sunday, April 8, 2012, 19:35:49 anybody got any pics from the weekend?
