  • Summary

  • While Morecambe have recently been to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea in the FA Cup, and moved into a new stadium in 2010, there have been frustrations and protests at the club. The current owners are struggling to finalise a sale, a situation that has lasted two-and-a-half years so far.

    Profits generated by the club in some recent seasons have since been cancelled out by losses, highlighting how difficult it is for clubs in League One and League Two to remain sustainable.

    We discuss the club's present situation, fighting relegation from the Football League, the potential difficulties to challenge for promotion from the National League, and the future with:


    Lizzi Collinge, MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale,

    James Wakefield, one of the directors of Morecambe Football Club,

    Dave Salmon, commentator on Morecambe matches for 'Shrimps Live',

    and Niall Couper, CEO of Fair Game.

    And remember, you can register for the Fair Game Annual Conference 2025, which takes place 28-29 May at AFC Wimbledon.
