Reading some of the stuff emotions are running high over the demolition of Christie Park. When the gates open at the new ground I for one would find it fitting to walk from the old to the new to make sure the heartbeat lives on. Maybe Mr Morecambe could lead and carry a torch

Route planner.
Start Sainsbury's Lancaster Rd.
travel west to York Hotel
IMBIBE CONTINUOUSLY FOR 20 MINS.
Travel south west by side of rail tracks to Globe Arena.

EASY!

And I'll carry Vinny, as I promised when he was fretting about the move many moons ago.

Up for it? It's only 25mins walk according to the southern hemisphere!

We could carry a price of coal. It would be like letting the new year in

Keith could wear his new t-shirt

So Open Day is Sat.24th July. I anticipate the tape will be lifted at 10 a.m. from what's left of Christie Park. I can't decide if to or . . .

Would this be the parade route? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF ... 6&t=h&z=14

Oh yes, the piggy-back ride - it looks like it's just over a mile

Yes that would be the route. No doubt an announcement will be made nearer the time by the Club as to what time the Globe gates will be opened. Hopefully it will fit in nicely with the 10 a.m. start

I would suggest nipping along Langridge Way, across the top of the estate. After a few pints in The York there is err... better tree cover going that route for the slacker bladdered among us...

How is Yozzer by the way?

Unless Mick has something up his sleeve I don't think he will be open at 10.12 a.m. Maybe a visit on the way back would be more appropriate

I presume we will be a bit thin on the ground tomorrow!

when we do have our first saturday match, may I suggest that we pay homage to all of Morecambe FC's former homes. start at the cricket club on Woodhill Lane, then go past Christie Park and then off to the Globe Arena. I'm sure there are plenty of hostelries at the start, at the finish and in between.

That sounds like an 11a.m. start then Darren. If we make it 10.30 we can hit the Palatine to see if ************

now we're talking, meet at Eric, go to the Palatine for what I'm sure will be a beautifully poured german larger and then onto the route.

I will be more than happy to walk from Christie Park to the Globe on the first home match and Maybe take my Morecambe scarf .

First league game could be more important I know we can beat Coventry City but this team are a championshpi team.

So I wll join in also

"larger". Now I know you've got it bad

Let's hope the door is open at both ends
