Bring me sunshine, In your smile, Bring me laughter...

 

[Blade56]

If it's at the expense of the league I don't mind being out of cups as soon as PL teams come in and we can go out with dignity

 

[JJ Sefton]

Huh-hey!

 

[Blade56]

Huh-hey!

And people complain about my avitar, seriously?

 

[Blade82]

New ground for me so will try to get to this one.

Think this is the club's first ever visit there? In the only game we played against them we won 5-0 in the same competition at the Lane under the stewardship of that brilliant manager Bryan Robson.

It is. That previous game was on 25/9/07. Sharp 2, Shelton 2 and Hendrie scored. First goals for the club for all of them (in the previous round we had won 3-2 at MKD - Lucketti, Law and Horsfield scoring - their first (and only) goals for United as well).

think we played them at there place in a freindly about 3 year ago it was one of there first matches at there new ground. but yeah this will be the first competetive meeting

 

[Jon Bon]

Waddaya think of it so far..?

 

[TJB.]

Supposedly the best pies out of all 92 League clubs. I've yet to find better than a rather scrumptious locally made Chicken Balti I had at Bury the other year.

"I'm playing all the right players—but not necessarily in the right order."

..ah, if only Nigel were still here...

I believe Billy Sharp scored his first blades goal(s) against Morcambe in a 5-0 win in the League Cup

 

[mattbianco1]

At least we don't have to use our inclusive Cup Fixture on that shit draw

 

[wizadry]

This is good if true pinchers, right

Yeah, much the same thought here, evening KO might make it a struggle though

 

[Foxy]

Pies were interesting last time.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

The great Michael Twiss plied his trade there for a while if memory serves.

Being born in Bradford, my grandparents retired to Morecambe like half the town seemed to, in the 60's. They lived in a house 3 minutes walk from the old Christie Park.
Went there lots of times when they were still alive and have fond memories of the 60's team. They had a goalkeeper called Bert Gebbie who played for Bradford PA (my Dads team before we moved to Sheffield) prior to Morecambe so we had a point of reference back then.

Never been to the new ground so really glad we're going to play them at last.

Indeed - he featured in the 5-0 game. He wasn't fit to lace James Thomas's boots.

Ah but that is Walthy in the flesh

 

[I should coco]

I went to Morecambe on my dad's firm's trip about 1977. I cut my foot on glass on the beach, got crude oil over my legs from their lido and then fell off the astraglide at high speed.

There were no bloody 'have-you-had-an-accident' ambulance chasing dog-toss lawyers then.




When did you say it was again?

 

[Latters]

The Capital One Cup is the League Cup, isn't it? I didn't realise Morecambe were even in the League. That said, I didn't realise Fleetwood were even in the Football League until we played them twice last season.

Do you remember Mick Harrity who played for BPA in 1971/72? He was one of the taxi drivers that took me and Dronfield based Maud Maxfield pupils to school

 

[Blade82]

I'm hoping for Blackpool away first game to make a few days of it. Otherwise I will be developing deli belly at work about 2pm on the day of the game...

 

[blade too long]

A really nice day in Morecambe, well it stopped raining for 5 minutes
when the tide goes out its about an hours walk to the isle of man

 

[Blade56]

Ah but that is Walthy in the flesh

Oh my god, I want to ex sponge that image it hurts

Only if you use the Chinese cockle pickers as stepping stones.

No Silent, we moved to Sheffield in '62 and only time I saw BPA after that would be when they played at Saltergate. They always seemed to win there and a young Kevin Hector scored a few. Think the last time was Boxing Day '65 when we played away somewhere and my Dad really pissed my mother off by taking us off to Chezzie instead. Only remember it because the following Boxing Day my mother was giving it large about the same fixture happening so my Dad took us off to Old Trafford to watch United instead!

It'll be my 3rd visit to the globe arena. once to see our friendly a couple of years back, then they had a freebie mid-week match against Dagenham season before last - that got a big crowd. Its the most local team for me. If anyone want to visit Christstie park, its the Sainsburys on the road between Lancaster and Morecambe.
