Am I wrong or missing something here? The club does not appear to be promoting ticket sales. Whilst it can be argued that 'it does not need to', there is a difference between capacity and the expected attendance, if FanzoneFan is correct.

Presumably 'expected attendance' is the number of tickets already sold.

When i went to pick up my Rochdale ticket I asked about the Carlisle ticket sales and they said its about what the expected for the game at that stage of sale but if it was any other game then it would be very good. Hopefully we can sell it out and as for the comment above saying move the segregation and give them more tickets, that's a stupid thing to do.

Carlisle could fill the ground - of course Carlisle could. Amazing what a few wins have done.

seems daft they they're only getting 650 tickets Ridiculous isn't it that some football grounds do not have the capacity to accommodate infinite numbers of supporters when the alleged demand is there.

Can't the segregation be sorted? - clearly not.

otherwise, you know what's going to happen. - elucidate, old bean.

seems silly really. - very silly.

Perhaps capacities and facilities at our respective grounds reflect where we have both been over the past fifty or sixty years. I remember Carlisle being in Division One and now they are in Division 4 (old money). Barrow AFC was playing in the NPL and it is not that long ago that the supporters had to raise money to help get the ground back following an (allegedly) unscrupulous land deal. We are also now back in the same league as Carlisle and investment has already been put into a ground that is our home though which most recognise has, because of its age, many challenges to address. Brunton Park has the odd one or two, lest we forget..

He probably doesn't know what you mean by 'elucidate'
Ask him to make things clear. But he probably won't.
He was probably hinting at naughty things occuring between rival sets of fans. He comes from Milnthorpe, bless him.
And similar to Carlisle, the Neanderthal mentality thrives up there
