Christie Park, Morecambe, Football stadium in Morecambe, England
Christie Park was a football stadium in Morecambe with four stands, three of which were covered, while the Main Stand ran the entire length of the pitch. The ground normally held around 6,400 spectators, with the Umbro Stand providing extra capacity for away supporters when needed.
The stadium operated from 1921 to 2010, serving as home to the local football club for nine decades. The peak attendance was reached in 1962 during a match against Weymouth, which drew far more fans than the usual capacity allowed.
The North Stand served as the gathering place for home supporters on match days, forming the heart of local football culture for the club. This section provided fans with a dedicated space to express their passion for the sport.
The ground was generally easy to navigate with clear signposting for sections and entrances, allowing visitors to find their seating quickly. The layout was straightforward, making orientation simple even for away supporters.
In 2005 the ground became a refuge for Carlisle United, who played there for six weeks after flooding damaged their own stadium. This was an unexpected chapter in the venue's story, when another club temporarily called it home.
