Correct,  but we are away 

[No Longer Posh Red]

The fact that the supporters coaches have already left before the thread starts is an indication of how the season has really fizzled out.

Have a strange feeling this is going to be a draw as they are doomed & half of our players are thinking about where they’ll be next season

After Flynn signed his 3 year contract in Nov 2023, we lost the next two and won just 4 of the next 23 games. Let's hope things work out differently this time!

Morecambe have had a tough run of games latele, winning 1 and drawing 1 of the last 6. The four defeats included a 2-1 reverse against Franchise, the lowest placed team they faced in that spell.

Their home record is P18 W4 D4 L10. Our away record in P19 W4 D8 L7. 4 away wins all season doesn't inspire much hope but 3 of those have all come in our ast 5 away games, and we've only lost 2 of the last 19 games overall.

Should be a routine win really, but you never know.

It's a strange place to be as a Town fan... the STFC rollercoaster means we're usually fighting for something at one end of the table or the other. To know we have no meaningful football for the next 4 months leaves something of a hollow feeling.

Holloway feeling?

Pre match what do you think of it so far? in The Eric Bartholomew.
Rubbish!

Gen Z & maybe millennials possibly wont have a clue who Eric Morecambe was. Don’t know.

Ah well, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Normally a case of having to outmanoeuvre the mobility scooters & their surprisingly sprightly owners to get to the bar here.
Nuisances.
Rachel's gonna get you...

A limited selection of guest ales here so will seek out hostelries with a view of the golden sands or should that be treacherous mudflats.

Nothing beats a seaside trip for the football and there are three more to come after this with Fleetwood, Cleethorpes and err Gillingham.
Can’t wait.

I’m glad that this fixture isn’t the crucial relegation 6 pointer that it once threatened to be.

Unbeaten here in 4 visits, but wouldn’t be surprised at a triumph of desperate need over collective mehness today.
Then again Holloway isn’t going to tolerate a half arsed performance.

A win would be welcome even if it does help to sadly doom Morecambe.

Just a case now of trying to finish as high as possible & to plan for next season.
Would be good to get through to the end with just the one double against us.

That would at least indicate that we’ve been competitive since the early teething problems under Holloway.
Still bad though to grasp at something that should be a given for any Town side.

Still, the dead rubberyness of the fixture will excuse the early second half exit to get back to Mancunia for a prior engagement.

Looking at tables, could be a potentially more Southern friendly L2 next season, which would be good plus the sides that could join us don’t particularly stand out as big hitters in terms of throwing money around.

Just thinking ahead to when the bottle of 3B is smashed against the hull of HMS Piss the League at the launching ceremony in August.

Gonna miss the first 15 mins or so probably as we have a family get together in Yeovil, but TBH the season is over now and just hope we can put ina  good showing in some essentially meaningless games.

See you later no doubt.

Me and the wife walked down the aisle on our wedding day to this song

[Qunk]

A bore draw today methinks.

[Nemo]

Sounds like a few new injuries from the presser, could be some interest in the team.

I think we might lose today. They have a lot to play for, we don't.

[wheretherealredsare]

Correct,  but we are away 

Fixed it for me (thanks)
