Following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season and announcement of our retained list, the Trustees of Shrimps Trust have released the following open letter to Sarbjot Johal.
The Trust would like to place on record its thanks to the players leaving Morecambe Football Club today, who leave with our best wishes. It is with regret that a number of those leaving may not be doing so had the Club been in a more stable ownership position. (1/3)

The Trust is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Morecambe FC legend Dickie Danson.
Dickie served the Shrimps with excellence and was honoured by the FA in 2015 to mark 50 years in football.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.
It wasnโt to be but one things for sure - our support both home and away has been superb over the last two season in League One. Letโs take that into League Two with our heads held firmly high ๐ฆโฝ๏ธ

On 20th May 2007,

defeated Exeter City 1-2 in the Nationwide Conference Promotion Final at Wembley Stadium. Goals from Garry Thompson and Danny Carlton ensured that the

Our thoughts are with the families of those involved with the devastating news from Mallowdale Avenue today.
We invite our members to contribute in any way they can to the appeal from our partners at The Hurley Flyer as we pull together as one community.
7๏ธโฃ points from the 9๏ธโฃ available in the last week against two promotion chasing sides & a team fighting for Football League survival.
Weโd have taken that at 2.59pm last Saturday!

As a Board we are discussing the situation and our intention, in due course, will be to hold an open forum for members and supporters to share their concerns, while agreeing our collective next steps. (3/3)
We would like to say a big thank you to assistant manager John McMahon upon his departure.
John played a big role in promotion last season as assistant, as well as having had previous coaching roles at the club and a stint as a player in the 90s.
All the best and good luck!
