It plays its football in <a href="/pages/w/103096519730070">League Two</a>, the fourth tier of English football, having been promoted in <a href="/pages/w/139976872696207">2007</a> for the first time in their history to the <a href="/pages/w/106035599428310">Football League</a>.</p><p>From 1921 to the end of the 2009–10 season home matches were played at <a href="/pages/w/140676619291907">Christie Park</a> which has now been replaced by the shop Sainsburys. In August 2010 the club moved to their new home ground, <a href="/pages/w/132703893434814">Globe Arena</a>.</p><h2>History</h2><h3>The first years</h3><p>Football in the town dates back to the turn of the 20th century; however, it was not until 7 May 1920 that Morecambe FC was formed after a meeting at the local West View Hotel. The club then took its place in the Lancashire Combination League for the <a href="/pages/w/138925712798619">1920–21</a> season.</p><p>Sharing grounds with the Cricket Club at Wood Hill Lane during the first season, football proved popular, with crowds in excess of 3,000 for derby fixtures with <a href="/pages/w/107824912579478">Lancaster City</a> and <a href="/pages/w/103107476395668">Fleetwood Town</a>. Although success on the field was hard to come by, with the club languishing near the bottom of the table, at the end of the first season the club moved grounds to Roseberry Park. A few years later after the purchase of the ground by the then-President, Mr. J.B. Christie, the ground's name was changed to Christie Park, in his honour. Those early seasons proved difficult and it was not until 1924–25 that the club began to enjoy some success, claiming the league title for the first time; this was later followed by success in the Lancashire Junior Cup, beating old rivals <a href="/pages/w/107962262558240">Chorley</a> after two replays, and in front of over 30,000 spectators.</p>
