Stadium Info
The stadium holds up to 6,476 supporters, with 2,173 seats available in the Main Stand, which runs the length of one side of the pitch. Opposite the Main Stand is an uncovered terrace with a capacity of 606. The idea of building the new stadium like this was to give off a similar feel to the ground as that at Christie Park. At either ends of the pitch are the home and away stands, with the home end holding a maximum of 2,234 supporters.
Away Fans
Visiting supporters are situated behind one of the goals. Upto 1,389 fans can be accomodated for although you'll want to arrive early enough to get yourself a good position. Facilities are everything you'd expect from a new stadium with toilets, refreshments and leg room all meeting expectations and all areas of the stadium have unobstructed views making for a nice friendly visit for all away followings. Staff and stewards are very friendly and ejections are likely to be kept to a very minimal level as was always the case at Christie Park.
Where To Drink
The Regent Leisure Caravan Park is about a five minute walk away from the ground, has a good selection of beer, serves food and has a secure parking area which is £3 all day. On top of that, it's away fan friendly. For those with time on their hands there are plenty of bars to be found along the seafront. The best of these appear to be the King’s head and the Ranch House Pub, while there is a Wetherspoons pub for all those arriving by train.
Parking
There is a small carpark at the stadium, but there aren't many places available so arrive early if that's your planned parking spot. There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding areas however and you'll be unlucky if you have any more than a 10 minute walk to the stadium.
By Train
The nearest / closest train station to Morecambe's Globe Arena is Morecambe. The railway station is approximately one mile from the stadium (around 15 – 20 minutes on foot) but is handy for the promenade if you want to have a drink or two and make a real day out at the seaside before the match.
There isn’t a taxi rank or office at the train station, however, there are 3 ranks around the town – 2 on the promenade and a further one by the Arndale Centre. The journey to the stadium should cost around £4 if you don’t fancy the journey to the ground on foot. If you want to book a taxi in advance, try Coastal on 01524 424424, A1 on 01524 423300 or 848848 on 01524848848.
