Geat opportunity to get a big crowd marketing it as a 'stand alone' type match. a War of the Roses type encounter.

With the strong links between Morecambe and Bradford and it being a public holiday with little other football to chosse from to watch, we should be pulling the stops out to capture the public's imagination.

Posters, flyers, a feature in our fine local newspaper and us lot 'bigging it up'. Last years match was one of the best of the season.

Bragging rights are up for grabs and it is a David v Goliath type encounter. Everyone loves an underdog!

Come on Morecambe FC! Build this up and give us a 'Big game'!

Massive, we are! Certainly is David v Goliath! ;)


Hoping for a good game. On our current form, I'm not positive about that though!

Nice poster Cass. Mind if I print out a few copies to help advertise the game?

Think everyone should do the same advertising in their local pub etc and try and bring a mate or two along. If we do and Bradford sell-out then we could just have our highest ever Football League gate! Time for us to do our bit....

I am going for an optimistic 4700 with 1900 from the wrong side of the Pennines :D

3750 - you don't expect the club to give out the correct attendance surely, John!?

Why not?

That would be fraud, and tax evasion wouldn't it?

Surely you are not suggesting that the club knowingly break the law?

How many tickets were Bradford offically allocated? Well done to them for selling-out.

Lets hope our lot turn out in numbers too. I have put posters up at the uni, so hopefully a few randomers will turn-up too. :D
