It's Morecambe heading for The J.Davidson Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3pm) as the Enterprise National League season continues at pace.

The Robins will be hoping for a change of fortunes in the opening fixture of 2026 following a tough run of games across the festive period. 

The Opposition

The Shrimpers make the journey to Moss Lane off the back of two defeats against promotion chasers Rochdale and Carlisle United over the Christmas period.

Ashvir Singh Johal’s side will be hoping to continue their climb up the table after a very difficult start to the 2025/26 season. Players to keep an eye out for are winger and top-scorer Jack Nolan, who has five goals and four assists, as well as midfielder Jake Cain who has two goals and four assists.

Hear It From The Gaffer

"We can see when the group have confidence and we build from a solid base out of possession that we're capable of playing in a really good, strong manor.

"Now what we've got to do is build on the performance against York, which was an improvement on Halifax, which we are more than capable of doing."

Security on Matchdays

Working closely with our stewarding team, and in consultation with Greater Manchester Police, we are carrying out screening procedures to prevent potential weapons or prohibited items from entering the ground. These checks are now becoming common practice at football stadiums across the country and are part of our shared responsibility to protect each other.

The introduction of Martyn’s Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025) has also placed greater emphasis on the legal duty of venues like ours to assess risks and have robust safety plans in place. While much of this reflects what we already do, it reinforces the need for vigilance and preparation in today’s world.

We completely understand that supporters may sometimes feel these checks go too far. However, we want to be clear: safety will always come first. Our goal is to provide the best possible matchday experience in a safe and welcoming environment for all.

On behalf of the club, thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we put these important measures into practice.
