Christie Park - Morecambe FC
Christie Park was the home of Morecambe FC, located on the corner of Christie Avenue and Lancaster Road in Morecambe, Lancashire, England.
Christie Park had a capacity of approximately 6, 400. It comprised three covered stands and one uncovered stand. The only seated stand (the Main Stand) ran along the length of the pitch on one side. The main terraced end (the North Stand) was situated behind one of the goals, and was the location for the majority of the home fans on match days. The other covered stand (the Umbro Stand) was opposite the North Stand and was where away fans were placed during segregated matches. The capacity in this stand could be increased using temporary terracing, such as when Carlisle United visited on Boxing Day, 2004.
Carlisle United played their home matches at Christie Park for six weeks in 2005 during repair work following flooding at their Brunton Park ground.
The uncovered stand (the Carwash Terrace) took its name from the car wash directly behind it on Lancaster Road. The supporters club building that used to be behind it was knocked down late in 2006 and the club then received planning permission to build a new stand on its site comprising sponsors facilities, conference rooms and offices.
On 17 July 2007, however, Morecambe announced plans to move to a new stadium in time for the start of the 2010–11 season.
The final ever goal at Christie Park was scored by David Artell.
Within days of the end of the 2009–10 season, demolition of the stadium commenced and site clearance began. By mid August 2010 the superstructure of a new Sainsbury's supermarket occupied the spot where the stadium once stood. With Morecambe F.C. now installed at their new ground, the Globe Arena off Westgate in Morecambe, Sainsbury's opened their new supermarket in late 2010

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christie Park, once the beloved home of Morecambe FC. Nestled on the corner of Christie Avenue and Lancaster Road in Lancashire, England, this historic stadium held a capacity of approximately 6,400 passionate fans. With three covered stands and one uncovered stand, it provided an unforgettable atmosphere for football enthusiasts. The Main Stand stood proudly along the length of the pitch, offering comfortable seating for spectators. The North Stand was where most home fans gathered to cheer on their team with unwavering support. Opposite to it was the Umbro Stand, reserved for away fans during segregated matches but could be expanded using temporary terracing when needed. The Carwash Terrace derived its name from the car wash located directly behind it on Lancaster Road. This uncovered stand witnessed countless memorable moments as supporters passionately rallied behind their team. Although Christie Park's final goal was scored by David Artell, its legacy lives on through cherished memories shared by devoted fans. In July 2007, plans were announced to move to a new stadium in time for the 2010-11 season. Today, only remnants remain as demolition commenced shortly after the end of the 2009-10 season. A new Sainsbury's supermarket now occupies this hallowed ground where dreams were made and battles fought. Morecambe FC has found a new home at Globe Arena off Westgate in Morecambe while Sainsbury's opened their doors in late 2010. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Christie Park's rich history and its place in football folklore forever etched into our hearts.
