For those thinking of going train tickets currently £20 adult and £10 junior with Virgin, not a bad price at all.

Yeah, sorry, should have said that's from Coventry.

Considering going by jet ski. Will have to check the tide times as can only do it during high tide.

You can pick me up from the train station!

You can also get the ferry there (well, to Heysham, down the road) from the Isle of Man, Dublin or Belfast. True but useless.

Fair play to anyone that goes to this. Bit of a mission and a bit of a grim place!

Is there any water alongside it?

Not the best but it's a far more appealing place to visit than Blackpool. Can never understand why anyone likes going there.

if your Wembley fiasco is anything to go by, you'll have enough train tickets for all the SBA :angelic:

My first away game that was... terrible game, but had some drunk idiot and his wife shouting a load of abuse all game behind me, which gave me a laugh
'Bell, bell, bellend you're shit'
'Wood, wood, wood, you're shit'
Or the scream from his wife of 'break his legs'
Then went last season for the Fa cup game, which was just as bad! Played like utter shit, that day too, but somehow scraped a draw.
Only good thing about the place is the fish and chips.
Won't be making the mistake of going this year based on previous experiences.

Can't be any worse than Grimsby? Better fish and chips hopefully too?

Was it under Boothroyd?
2 things I remember from the match were Colin Doyle's one and only appearance and Clarke-Harris coming on to be city's youngest ever player!

Edited for you!

 

[oucho]

Morecambe's a nice place if you visit it properly. My godparents live there.

Yeah under Boothroyd, a complete team of second teamers plus bell and wood I think.
Then you had the likes, of Roy O'Donovan, Grandison, A young Cyrus Christie etc. was not a good day.

 

[skybluegod]

Just looked up the game.

BBC Sport - Football - Morecambe 2-0 Coventry

Stronger team than I remember, but largely a team of Crocks, and youngsters still.

Yeah I thought it was weaker than that! Was definitely loads of changes to the strongest league side at the time I'm sure there was!

Yeah for sure.
A lot different from the first team, we still had Keogh, Craine, Westwood, Turner, Cameron, Doyle, Clingan, Eastwood, Jutkiewicz and sheffers, all from the first team still missing.

Which Doyle do you mean, the Keeper or Michael?

Michael, he left us halfway through that season for Sheffield if i remember correctly?

Free transfer in January looking at his history.

Think it also coincided with our massive slump in results didn't it?
Also thinking back, Marlon King was joined that season, didn't he?

 

[Astute]

Well I'm going by Hovercraft!

I live on the other side of Morecambe bay. I can see Morecambe but it takes nearly 2 hours to drive there. How about you?

King joined us that season, yes.
I guess you could say it was coincidence, but I'll put that down to Bothroyd being manager!

Tbf weren't we 5th halfway through December?
And then suddenly the slump to end all slumps happened and we won I think it was 1 game in the next 23?

Na, just being an arse! Live just outside Stratford squire.

I'd consider the boardroom too.
Kings signing was very protracted also.
Instability behind the scenes following a very healthy first half of that season.
Not pretty but effective grinding out results.

I'm not sure where we were in Dec. tbh, I remember us being hard to beat and getting the ball out to the wingers asap, very direct, top half of the Championship until Nov/Dec.
Then as you say, it went tits up big time until the end of the season and Thorn stepped in.

Also as wingy points out, the board didn't help matters, sold Juke in January too, I think?

Looking forward to it my nephew is on loan at Morecombe so it should be easier to get a pass out to watch him.
