So good I missed my connection and had to spend the night there. Not so good, and bloody expensive. It's Carlisle for fucks sake.

We missed our connection there coming back from Kilmarnock in December so ended up getting a taxi back.
Maybe not the best piss up station, but certainly the best ratio of pissheads per square metre.

My only claim to fame in Carlisle was the misfortune of walking in a load of spilt yellow paint on the pavement, and treading it in a nearby pub with polished wooden floors. I was instantly barred. No sense of humour them N Cumbrians.

Re: Workington
Your Team: FLEETWOOD TOWN
Night/Day: Monday 5th May (Day)
Match: 3/10 The wind or ref didn't help but we were crap, I just wish we would go back to passing instead of hoofing.
Atmosphere: 2/10 We tried a bit. 8/10 for the good craic in the bar before game though.
Food: 5/10 Not bad pies but burgers were crap.
Drink: How can you give marks when you pay £1.70 for a can of strongbow with no glass?
Bar: 5/10 Thats not realy a bar, but serves a purpose I suppose.
People: 8/10 for the ones I met, not a problem. 1/10 for the little kids baiting us during game & getting on coaches.
Programme: 5/10 Although I didn't get one had a quick peep at somebody elses.
Town: 6/10 Wetherspoons was OK. The walk to the ground was wierd, we were singing (this place, is like a fooking ghost town)
Ground: 6/10 Old fashioned and run down but does the job, plenty of room for improvement.
Talent: 3/10 Bird in Wethers was ok but too young for me 
None at ground.
Overall day: 5/10 Good day out spoiled by some shite football (hoofball) in the wind.

Re: Workington
Your Team: Neutral (Workington v Alfreton BSN Semi Final)
Night/Day: Night
Match: 7/10 - Thought both teams were poor overall and both would struggle in the BSP with that sort of quality. That said, going foreward Alfreton seemed half decent and if the final ball wasnt so poor could have had 3 or 4. Alfretons Anton Brown and the long haired torres lookalike impressed, and Wukkies keeper was my MOM, decent game other then being beaten from a tight angle for the goal.
Atmosphere: 8/10 - Alfreton fans all suibtably tanked up and very vocal for 90% of the match. Pretty silent for a few mins after half time before their goal though. Workington were piss poor.
Food: 9/10 - Reasonably priced and decent portioned - Although i saw a meat and potatoe pie and it was f00king tiny.
Drink: N/A - Was driving so didn't drink.
Bar: 3/10 - Small anyways, but with the larger then usual crowd, it was absolutely rammed.
People: 9/10 - Met Ash and Wazza who both seemed decent blokes. All the Alfreton fans were absolutely spot on and the 5 of us from Barra had a good craic with them. The chavish little kids in the corner with their drum and immature songs were cringeworthy though, so the home fans lose a point for that 
Programme: N/A - Didn't get one.
Town: 2/10 - Makes Barrow look mildly respectable.
Ground: 7/10 - Not nice standing on an open terrace, and the whole place has a feel as if its ready to fall down. That said, its a truly classic non league ground with loads of character and I do like it.
Talent: 5/10 - Saw a couple of lasses who were ok, but didnt see much else.
Overall day: 8/10 - Was a decent craic on the drive up and was good to watch a live game as a neutral for once. Couple of degrees warmer would of gone down a treat.
