Morecambe v Stockport County - 09/12/2023

Review by Stockport County fan Paul Hexham

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

Been a while since we played these lot and we had never been. Always good to tick off another ground.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

Three of us went in a mate’s car. Took us an hour and fifteen minutes straight up the M61.

If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?

Very easy. Westgate Primary School charge a fiver and the walk is only 5 minutes to the ground.

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

Usual footy grub and prices. Bovril was good. Burgers and chips were tasty. The outlet selling the food was quite small and cramped causing mayhem at half time.

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

Brilliant view. We were standing behind the goal. Very close to the pitch. There is a seated area to the left of the away end but is only opened if there are enough away fans to warrant it. Which there was!

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

Superb. I thought we were going to smash them, however, after they scored they went to “Ten at the back” and I thought we would never score until Kyle Wootton slid in with 3 mins to go. I suppose an away point is OK. Home fans pretty quiet until they scored. County travelling army of 1500 never shut up.

How friendly were the home fans out of 10?

Didn’t really speak to any. However, stewards both inside and out get a 10/10.

How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?

It was a nightmare. Torrential rain and strong winds didn’t help. When we came out we were told we had to turn left and walk a complete circuit of the stadium to arrive at the front. Asked a policeman what that was all about and he said “it’s stupid but not something we (Lancashire Police) implemented.”
I can only assume it was to avoid mingling with fans and the away coaches were there but it makes no sense for people who have come in a car.

How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?

£20 a ticket was good value. £20 on food was the usual amount for most League 2 grounds.

Would you recommend this away day to other fans?

I would indeed. Really easy to find, close to pitch. Cracking atmosphere. Spoiled only by the storm like weather.

Is there anything else you want to tell us about your day?

The weather was incredible. Wind and rain all day. Thought it might be called off but we persevered.
We always score the toilets. Gents was ok. 5/10. However, the ladies got a whopping 8/10 (not that I checked them out). Loo roll in all cubicles, running hot water, and plenty of room. Not something we have in the ladies at Edgeley Park.

Morecambe v Newport County - 21/12/2019

Review by Newport County fan Ben Fisher

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

I went as I am a season ticket holder of Newport County. I was looking forward to this game as I was confident because Morecambe were bottom of the league. We hadn’t won for 6 games and I was confident that we were going to win.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

We travelled up on a coach and it was easy. Last away game we played our coach broke down 4 miles from the stadium. Luckily, this time it didn’t.

Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?

We went to the Hurley Flyer which was right next to the stadium. The atmosphere in the pub was ridiculous. Half of the home fans were in there! It was the most ridiculous jam-packed pub that I’ve ever been in!

Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?

I ate in the ground. I ate a pie and it was really good and the prices were good for a football match.

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

The food and drink was really top quality inside the ground.

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

Our view was ok in the stadium but the away end was too small to fit all our travelling fans from South Wales. We took up loads of fans and weren’t allowed to use the standing section.

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

The atmosphere wasn’t up to my expectations. It was ok but I felt like I was too far away from the action when the players were all up the other end of the pitch.
