The Shrimp Inn is at the junction of Westgate and Morecambe Road and the distance to the Globe Arena is 1.3 miles and walking time is approximately 24 minutes.Those walking from the Shrimp Inn roundabout should proceed in a Westerly direction along Westgate without changing direction.The stadium is on the right hand side 0.5 mile past the Fire Station.
Cyclists
Secure cycle parking racks are provided at each corner of the stadium.A guide to cycle routes produced by Lancashire County Council is available from Lancashire County Council and on-line from http://www.celebratingcycling.org
Cycling is one of the most convenient ways of getting to and from the stadium.Morecambe Football Club would encourage you to use a bicycle and at the same time keep trim and stay healthy.
Motorcycles
Secure motorcycle parking bays are provided at the Globe Arena.These are sited at each side of the concourse to the front of the Main Stand.No charge is made for parking a motorcycle.
Cars
The car parking immediately outside the Globe Arena is allocated through a ticketing system and places are not available for purchase on the day of the match.Cars approaching the stadium without a valid parking permit will be turned away by the stewards manning the entrance road.
260 parking places are available at every game at Westgate Primary School.The school is located on Langridge Way and is 450 yards from the Globe Arena.For postcode identification use LA4 4XF.
The cost of parking at the school is £4.00 and all takings are collected and administered directly by the school.The proceeds are used by the school without recourse to the Football Club.Our message to everyone is that we encourage the use of public transport, walking and cycling but we recognise that car travel is the preferred option of many.Until you are convinced of the benefits of leaving your car at home we would ask you to use the school car park thereby keeping the residential streets around the Globe Arena unobstructed and perhaps the best reason of all, to support the local school children.
