So I gave it to her. So to speak. In any case. I love the fact that this team is called the shrimps, and has a cute looking fish on the badge. I mean, we don't even use the word "shrimps" (we use prawns instead) in England, so it makes no cents. It makes no dollars either. First-Hand Experience: I've seen Morecambe play live only once. It was at home, and the stadium wasn't really that great. But the fans were! It was a lovely little crowd, and they really made me feel at home. I met some new friends, and I couldn't have enjoyed the evening more - or the food afterwards for that matter. I'll definitely be back to see them again in future and so despite the fact that they are a smaller club, I give them a high rating. For some reason this is a popular team with Charlie Adam the Scotsman, maybe because his hottie wife is from up here. Or maybe I'm thinking of Fleetwood, but in any case. Since 2010 they've played at the 6k capacity Globe Arena. They have no Yelp presence whatsoever but as of today that is changing. They play in red and were formed in 1920. They're in the lowest tier of the football league proper. Their mascot is Christie the Cat (a distant relative of Anderson Brown) named after their former stadium. Here's the full story. How can you not love this team. They're a seaside team too. "The Shrimps mascot is Christie the cat. The cat was named after Morecambe's old Stadium, Christie Park. The cat, a good chum of all the Shrimps fans, was adopted by the home fans after being unveiled a few seasons ago. He once had an infamous friendly altercation with Dagenham & Redbridge goalkeeper Tony Roberts for which he was sent off, despite it being started by Roberts himself. Christie is now a regular at The New Globe Arena, after reappearing following his theft after the last game at Chrisite park, a member of the public came into the Globe and offered Christie the cat for sale to the club, after a short time waiting the nice police man explained to the member of the public, he was going home empty handed and congratulated for his community spirit."

Me and my ear buds go there all the time. But this review is not about that. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to see Morecambe play here as recently as 2011 and I enjoyed it a lot. They're a seaside town and I appreciate them. However their stadium is in need of some help, the noise escapes and it's bitterly cold. It's nice and modern but a little soulless too. I was hoping for a better facility since it's brand new. It's not bad though - just okay. I plan to come back here and see another game in the next few years. This is one of the few stadiums I don't think I got pictures of. I'll sort that out in future. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** The Globe Arena is a new stadium with open corners (so it doesn't really preserve the noise) and one beautiuful big grand stand and then three unimpressive ones. It is a bit imbalanced and for this reason isn't really my fave stadium. It's also nowhere near the beach, and seaside stadiums should be as near the beach as possible. Still it's a good effort and a nice new stadium for the team. The record attendance is only a little over 5k too which isn't great. The team that plays here is, of course, Morecambe. I know that because I am Wise.
