Carlisle United (2005)

Christie Park was the home of Morecambe FC, located on the corner of Christie Avenue and Lancaster Road in Morecambe, Lancashire, England.

Christie Park had a capacity of approximately 6,400.{{cite web | url-status = dead

Carlisle United played their home matches at Christie Park for six weeks in 2005 during repair work following flooding at their Brunton Park ground.

The uncovered stand (the Carwash Terrace) took its name from the car wash directly behind it on Lancaster Road. The supporters' club building that used to be behind it was knocked down late in 2006 and the club then received planning permission to build a new stand on its site comprising sponsors' facilities, conference rooms and offices.

On 17 July 2007, however, Morecambe announced plans to move to a new stadium in time for the start of the 2010–11 season.{{cite news | url-status = dead

The final ever goal at Christie Park was scored by David Artell.

Within days of the end of the 2009–10 season, demolition of the stadium commenced and site clearance began. By mid August 2010 the superstructure of a new Sainsbury's supermarket occupied the spot where the stadium once stood. With Morecambe F.C. now installed at their new ground, the Globe Arena off Westgate in Morecambe, Sainsbury's opened their new supermarket in late 2010.
