The noise, the songs, the support, the humour, the refusal to ever give in, the sheer bloody minded collective spirit and the respect shown to the victors from young and old alike is something each and every one you should be proud of.
I have seen it before in times when you would least expect it. Daggers in the play offs 03, Hereford at Edgar Street in the play offs, Shrewsbury when they made the Conf Play offs at Crusty.
The young lads who have joined in as 12 yr olds and now are 17/18 and lead the singing could have been expected to be the sore loser/confrontational type, but no. They are true Morecambe fans, gutted at the result, like all of us, but stayed to applaud the Dagenham team.
These moments define your club and yourself. As people, we may all be shocked at the defeat but each and every one us can hold our heads high that we did all we could from the stands.
A lot of clubs fans (as mentioned on the news recently) need to study the phrase "Accept victory and defeat with the same grace", but there is something in the water at Christie which seems to filter through the stands.
We may have lost a football game yesterday, but yet again I was immensely proud to be a Morecambe fan because of all of you.
You should be too.
Thursday is a chance to regain some pride and say farewell to Christie.
If its half as noisy and supportive as that away end yesterday, it will be a fitting send off.
Bring it on!

I, for one, hope that you aren't far behind (if at all we pull away from League Two). In any event, even if we do go up, we'll be back season after next. Clubs like us aren't meant to be there, are they?

Proud to be a Morecambe supporter.
I received two texts from one "work colleage" today.....
"6-0 !!?"
My reply was a simple "Morecambe till I die".
He came back with.... "6-0!!!!!!"
"We'll win 7-0 on Thurs, and if we don't, well..... I'm Morecambe till I die!"
With all due respect to those that weren't there for those games, you haven't got a clue.
If you don't go on Thurs you still won't have a clue. (I ain't gonna explain it you either).
This is my church, this is where I heal my hurts.
