The 75-year-old (pictured below, far left) from Lancaster said he'd been a season ticket holder for nearly 25 years and was “gutted” at the current situation.

“I have supported Morecambe all my life, it’s just gutting.”

Fellow season ticket holder James Rankin, from Halton, moved to the area to be nearer his beloved Shrimps.
