BREAKING NEWS…I’ve just spoken to CUFC ticket office. The Petteril End cannot be opened up due to safety / police concerns. However, they are in the process of printing out another 200 away tickets & posting them out to the club today. Apparently there is another area of the ground (presumably in the stand we have been allocated) that they can fit more of our fans into. Presumably they will just move their own fans further towards the Warwick Rd end of the stand we are in and give us more sections of it - presuming they can still segregate effectively.
If this is actually the case (and I sincerely hope that it is) am sure it is probably safe to assume that the club will make an announcement once the additional tickets are delivered to Holker Street (no doubt by courier or a tracked delivery of some sort).

I cannot see them moving Carlisle fans nearer the Warwick given they have been selling tickets for this game for a while and moving fans might involve moving some season ticket holders who I would imagine might not be best pleased. The current away end in the East Stand holds around 1800 so my guess is they are just giving us another 200 for the same section leaving around 100 seats empty.

At a guess the extra 200 tickets will be in the 'Edinburgh Woolen Mill Stand' above the Paddock at the North end, this is sometimes used when clubs bring very small followings, or much less important games (like the Pizza Trophy games).
Really cant see you been given more tickets in the east Stand as I'm sure that would mean shifting season ticket holders out of their seats.
Only other thing I can think of is, they have reduced the size of the netting between the two sets of fans (which is quite big), creating another 200 or so seats, however, I cant really imagine the local Cumbria plod being to happy with that one, especially after a load of problems with L**ds fans a few years back.

Just had another thought, it might be that the extra tickets are for down the front to the right of your section. These are seats which don't overlook the pitch but nonetheless aren't restricted view, (you just have to watch the game from a peculiar angle, always looking to the left) if you see what I mean???? LOL

For those with difficulties understanding
The away area holds just a couple short of 2k you.ve sold 1500 the extra 200 will come out of the remaining 500 which are made up of seats they don't normally sell because they have a restricted view [ as I explained earlier they aren't actually restricted in any way they're just seats where you watch the game from a strange angle ] add to this that they normally leave empty about 5 vertical rows of seats nearest the netting empty but have in the past sold those tickets [ last time was I believe the Everton game 3 years ago ] so i.m pretty sure that's where these tickets will be and no it doesn't involve moving anyone on the Carlisle side of the netting. In the old days before the club was run by a bunch of tossers they used to just sell the lot full stop [ In the past i had a ST right up against the netting at the Carlisle side of it but that was in the days when there were proper plod [ RIP Mac ] who used to just let the lads get on with it.
I can't see them putting 200 of you in the EWM seats as its only a couple of games since that there were incidents in there where players/club officials families sat in there took exception to comments being made by CUFC fans which were being directed towards the director's box so I can't see them putting casual away fans in there now especially as that would result in them having to steward/segregate it which they cant do away from the actual seated area.

While were on the subject of Carlisel United. A west Cumbrian friend of mine has just informed me that our former commentator James Phillips has been taken off air by radio Cumbria-for some obscure reason !!. Think he must've upset someone.

Apparently there is a “football train” almost certainly running for this game

Would imagine most will have made arrangements now and will be a waste of time unless it’s direct and you can transfer pre booked tickets over.

I agree Mark should have been finalised before. Will be direct and unless any tickets bought are advance tickets for a specific time train then they may be able to be used.
