“It’s now a case of getting all the players sorted and getting all the signatures over the line and get things in place like insurance to actually enable us to play,” he added.
“Seeing the way that the football community banded round us is something that we’re hugely grateful for.”
Pat Stoles, chair of the Shrimps Trust, said it was “a huge relief that we’re actually going to be able to play football this season”.
“Most people had given up on any real hope of getting through this… but we’ve got through it and we’re still here and we are going to be able to move on,” he said.
Fan Julie Stanley said the “sense of community has been increasingly obvious throughout this whole saga”.
“Not only the local community but also the wider community, who have shared our despair and offered their hands of friendship and support,” she said.
She added that she had been left with “a renewed sense of pride in our club”.
The former co-chairman at Morecambe FC, Rod Taylor, said he was feeling “delighted, emotional, relieved, ecstatic, but the overall emotion is relief because this has been a long journey”.
