Christie Park for sale
 
just been to the press conference.

we are moving to a new ground with 6,000 all seater facility which can be increased to 10,000 when we reach league div 1. It will have training pitches, 5 a side pitches, a hotel , fast food outlets plenty of parking and should be ready for the start of the 2009/10 season.

that sounds good - much better than our pitch at the moment may be one day, we are making slow improvements

It's nice to be ambitious, but you've got to learn to walk before you can run!!! Division 1 ??? Let's see how you cut your teeth in this league eh!!! :):)

as mentioned it will be funded from the sale of Christie Park.

Sammy McIlroy was at the meeting and he believes it easier to attract good players when you have good facilities.

How very kind of you, Morecambe Red, to sprint back from the meeting to post on here - we all appreciate your burning desire to keep us informed. Ever been to Darlington?:D

Apparently you've got to get planning permission first !!! (according to teletext) And we all know how accomodating the planning departments can be !!:rolleyes::D

Why do we care? All the best to Morecambe FC, but I couldn't care less what they get up to. I'm only interested in my club.

what I dont understand about moves of this kind is that if the builders will pay £xmillion to buy Christie Park and that will be enough for Morecambe to buy land and build a new ground on it - why don't the builders just buy the other plot of land and save some dosh?

Oh I don't know, at least Burton wouldn't have the best ground in the conference anymore:rolleyes:. Seriously though, I agree with carpon, they have to make sure they can hack it in the league befoe they build what could become a white rabbit.

Errm, Elephant? No, I prefer rabbit, suits the scale better. :)

Macca, agree with you doesn't make sense, unless you want a posh house near a good chippy.

Are they building it anywhere near Morecambe? :rolleyes:

..at least we provide visual proof of our proposal not a load of talk that can't be backed up with diagrams.

Remind me....didn't you claim to be re-locating?

:confused::confused::confused:

. . . and The Midland Hotel will be re-located into your car park, following which Thora Hird, Eric Bartholomew, Ted Lune and Colin Crompton will spin in their respective graves.

Erm No. . . . . . We've never claimed to be relocating, the club has been looking into the possibility of relocation in the future (5-10 years from now!!!) to accommodate our future league status and the need for better facilities, car parking etc., but no claims have been made or press conferences been organised to make announcements to the actuality of these events.:confused:


Good luck with your developments though, I'm sure it would be nice to have something new in Morecambe!!!:p:D

"Architects" could knock up a virtual tour of our new ground, which would mean as much as yours does at this moment in time. Accy people of a certain age well remember the ZERI ski complex which was supposed to revitalise the area - that looked wonderful on paper!:D

I was a bit shocked when I heard this on the radio, seems like Morecambe are getting a tad carried away with promotion. But good luck to them, I quite like 'em, and always look forward to the derbies
