Anyone know any decent pubs to go in before the match?  I'll probably have some ale in Lancaster, then walk to Christie Park.

Walk?!!?

Its three miles!

[wilyrover]

All the better for a decent pub crawl. Bit of an earlier start than anticipated. What's up lad, get tired quick? It's only a stroll.

On the contrary Wily, will eat into drinking time.

Meeting some friends in Lancaster for lunch (liquid naturally). They are Morecambe ST holders so a few beerss with them, bus to Morecambe, to pub at the end of the road, 5 min walk to the ground. Then prob a night out in Preston to follow.

Im glad football is (nearly) back.

[wilyrover]

Now that's what I call good planning. Can't beat a bit of local knowledge.

[Jordan]

Do we think Bellemy will be playing against Morcambe on Saturday?

[philipl]

No but McCarthy will be.

As an ex Lancasterian (who went to school in Morecambe) I've promissed two groups of folks I'd guide them to various hostelries at the weekend. So here's my plan.

The plan (as much as there is one) is to meet in Oscars Bar on Vicoria Street (The Smurf used to manage it) which isn't far from Morcambe train station, then take in a few bars towards Queens street, head down Lancaster Road to the York Bridge (the traditional pre-match haunt of most Morecambe fans, you can quite often find both of them in there ) and futher download Lancaster Road to Christie Park.

Post-game it's head for Lancaster becuase Morecambe's nighlife has gone considerably downhill since I moved (I'm sure the two are not unrelated).

If you want to come and find us, just drop me a PM.

Don't let work take over your life Glenn.

[Presty On Tour]

just wanted to know if any of the members on here were coming down to sunny wales?

the atmosphere should be well good, new stadium looks good, just a bit white thats all and the build up to the game should be a right laugh because there are some well nice bars on the way to the ground

[Glenn]

chuffin 'ell. I thought that 2 entire weeks without touching a PC and I'd be cured, but obviously not. I blame the jet lag

[Jordan]

yeah going down for the weekend, should be a good laugh.

By the way there is another pre-season thread.

Benni plays for our reserves

I think your reading alot in this

i'd say it proves we don't want to play Cercle Brugee and want to play dundee!

[benhben]

Does anyone know the ticket prices for the morecambe game? hope there about £3 like the reserve game. Is Bellamy defo playing? i Only live bout 200m away from the ground. Morecambes pitch is in fantastic condition, better than many prem pitches, so should allow a nice passing match if anone is interested. Also Morecambe up their game for big teams, they were fantastic against hull when i saw them last season and also cambridge n ipswich years ago. So expect a decent game whoever si going. And as someone was asking, The Dog and partridge is a decent pub in bare bout a mile away from the ground, also there is a decent pub in the ground itslef. On a side note for whoever is interested, morecambe got voted as doing the best pies in england afew years ago haha. Cant beat a football pie. Should be a good day, and mabye see the new home kit.

[Manchester Blue]

According to the official site it will be £8.

[stuwilky]

They have student prices as well for their league games, so hopefully will for this as well.

[benhben]

Nice one, these NUS cards really do come in handy lol.

[Ste B]

According to the official site it will be £8.

According to the Morecambe official site tickets for preseason friendlies are all a fiver.

CLICKY HERE

Perhaps they see a chance to rip off Blackburn fans ?

[andy82]

Is the game against Grimsby likely to be segregated? I would have thought they will need to open more than the one stand (the thin one, name escapes me).

I used to spend a lot of time in the D&P around 13Yrs ago, great little pub but (well, certainly used to be) Manc orientated. However, I'd put it at over a mile away (I was under the impression South Road alone was 1 mile) and lacking other pubs on the way (other than the York Hotel). I had however forgotten about the bar in the ground. Feel free to join us on our little jaunt from Oscars if you want.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Pay at the gate eh...this should be fun as the Umbro end only holds about 1,500!!

Is the ground far from the prom anyone?........................
