Is it also possible there was a "New Stadium" effect which may have also played a part as well for Morecambe?

Perhaps it's new pitch which any footballer would like to play their game on and perhaps visiting teams also raised their game on with a slick footballing surface & there may have also perhaps been a loss of the "twelth man" effect where people have stood for years at Christie Park and thats where the noise eminated from found themselves with different places on the terrace and took a while to adjust to there new surroundings and maybe even acoustics?
