Morecambe's New Ground

For the first time since moving from Christie Park, Morecambe hosted Hereford United at their new ground now called the Globe Arena.

Like many new grounds it's a little bit further out of town, there's no parking for visiting fans (not a big problem however), doesn't have a decent chip shop nearby, and there's just one pub within easy walking distance, but once inside it did have more a 'feel' to it than some others the Bulls visited in recent years.

There was just one entrance to the ground and the away fans turnstiles were easy to find, just on the right.


One large main stand,


And one behind each goal but the fourth side was a narrow uncovered terrace. In truth, for the size of the club it was perfectly adequate.

The views were good whether behind the goal or sat in the main stand and the Hereford supporters could make themselves heard.

One minus point, the pies were the worst anywhere in League Two this season. However the coffee was excellent.


The Hereford support was swelled by a group from north of the border.


And on another very warm day, one decided to bring his beach gear into the stadium.
