Attendance stats

Postby Redalert1970 » Sun May 01, 2022 2:12 pm

23 league games played at home

Total through turnstiles 99,666

Average Attendance 4,333

That includes 5 games over 5,000

Fantastic effort by everyone ...let's try and push that average to over 5,000 next season (difficult but possible)

It's incredible! Remember playing the likes of Goole, Rhyl or Horwich in front of about 250 fans?

This season, we played Horwich in front of 5,617! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brilliant crowds. Just shows what is possible with some positive momentum.

No way though we can average 5000 though unless we increase capacity, use more away capacity for home fans or away crowds increase on this season (probably unlikely)

Horwich RMI, the first non-league ground I went to in the early/mid 90’s. Actually saw Morecambe play there - yellow shirts I think. A ramshackle ground, with a significant slope - they barely pushed crowds of 150 in their latter years. Later became Leigh RMI who were decent in their first year in the Conference and would have got into the playoffs in modern days.

Shout outs go to: Daisy Hill, Atherton Colls and Atherton LR in the Lancs cup.

I remember watching a Morecambe / Southport game in the early 00’s maybe, we lost at Christie Park in front of a crowd of around 600. Kenny Tokano sliced a final minute cross behind the goal as the players pushed for a late goal - the crowd (large stand behind the goal) were furious. He later became the first Japanese player to score in an FA Cup game. Southport brought around 30-40 on a cold Tuesday night.

It's important to remember that we are the still same club that spent 80 odd years in Non League. These stats are unreal, mind blowing. When the BoD's said they wanted crowds of over 3 and 4k we all doubted it but my word they delievered. Morecambe is a proper football town now and we are an established League 1 Football Club.

With regard to playing Southport and also Kenny Takano, it think it would be earlier than that as Kenny went to play for Southport in about 1999, and our lowest attendance in the Conference was 650 v Halifax in 1996.

However back to Takano, when he joined he spoke virtually no English whatsoever, as he had come over to a Language school in Stockport area. When he eventually broke into the first team, Dave Mckearney and Paul Burns took him under their wings, and made him memorise a few phrases and words to help get him through the games. This came in handy in an away game at Cheltenham, where Kenny made a rash tackle and was called over to the referee who was going to administer a telling off. The referee asked Kenny his name and he promptly replied as instructed by McKearney and Burns , “fu.k off ref” . He was obviously booked , to much laughter among the Morecambe players!

Hi a bit of a correction, he went to Southport at the start of 2000, ( think we got about £3500) but then he didn’t settle at Southport and they released and he came back for a few months the following season.
