JOIN US IN STIRLING FOR A NIGHT OF CELEBRATION FIND OUT MORE
Date: 1st August 2025
The crisis at Morecambe has deepened this week, with the club facing the very real prospect of folding before they kick a ball in anger in the 2025-26 season.
With staff wages continuing to remain unpaid, and no confirmation of a new owner, the National League’s compliance and licensing committee announced on Monday that it had suspended Morecambe from the league with immediate effect, until the 20th August.
This means that the Shrimps’ opening three games of the season have been postponed, and unless current owner Jason Whittingham can complete a sale of the club in that timeframe, Morecambe’s expulsion from the competition seems increasingly likely. Football has had nearly 160 administration and liquidation events these past 40 years and it continues to happen. We know only too well of the casualties we have had here in Scotland in the recent years, but it does not need to be this way…….
Multi Award winning journalist Stephen McGowan of the Herald will be interviewing our Co Founder Paul Goodwin author of Our Game Our Clubs.
