Cumbrian? :?
Please don't associate us with Cumbria.
Take a look at our club badge - notice something Red on there ;) And it's on all our banners.
Our postcode reads as LA, too.
Cumbria? God forbid! No thanks.

We play our real 'Derby' in a couple of weeks :D
You folks should be hoping for a Workington revival.

I know you Marras are a bit dense but please don't associate us with your god forsaken county.

Don't waste your time on here. Although it's nice to know we still hold your interest ;)

You should be getting your prayer mat out and seeking divine intervention to save you from your impending relegation. I doubt whether Simpson's gonna be able revive you on this occasion.
You'd be better off seeking help from another Carlisle legend. Why not conjure up the ghost of old Bill Shankly to save ya? Coz ya gonna need a miracle! :lol:
On the one hand, you claim you don't want to be Cumbrian, then you moan when Radio Cumbria supposedly give you less coverage.
You can't have it both ways marra.
We are most certainly not Cumbrians but in all honesty Radio Carlisle pushes Carlisle.
I remember watching Carlisle playing in the First Division look where they are now.

Suggest we try and keep comments about Carlisle to General Football.

It’s the pressure of us growing & growing as a credible club & kinda stealing their self perceived local limelight, Yes you got promoted Well done but skint & struggling you are & we are thriving.

We will meet again soon enough and we will be bigger & better, Question is will you?

Crossbar end, main stand, away end and over half the new temporary stand sold out looking likes it’s going to be a busy one 👍

Last mention about which club represents the so called county of Cumbria announced by Paul Simpson in his latest interview.
Well,the answer is none,Cumbria as a county or administrative area whichever you prefer to call it ceased to exist under government reorganisation.

You know what, I rather like been in Cumbria, the beautiful countryside and the Lake District, [SwearFilter] Lancashire for me, with its run down mill towns and places that we don’t recognise anymore.

I tend to agree. Unless you're well into your 50s you won't have any memory of Barrow being in Lancashire anyway. Certainly for me the southern lakes were always my back yard as a kid, Lancashire North of the Sands as it was known was detached from the main county and must have felt a bit strange. Geographically to me Cumbria made more sense.

Exactly. Lancashire for its most part is a run down, dirty grimy place. Accrington was a good example.
While I think Carlisle has more affinity with southern Scotland, Barrow are the real Cumbrian representatives.

Looks like a good chunk of the main stand end have become available again, presume they’ve traced them back to Wrexham

Well we are part of the historical county of Lancashire (hence red rose on our badge)
Part of the ceremonial county of Cumbria
And now in the unitary authority of Westmorland & Furness.

Oh yes we are in the Lancashire Cup final - so will we be appearing the the Westmorland & Furness Cup next year regularly playing Kendal & Penrith (who must be overjoyed at being part of Westmorland when it was always a Cumberland town) for the county title in future years?

All as clear as mud

Whilst I think the club offering free tickets to blue light workers is a great gesture, I’m not sure the Wrexham game would be the right game for this. Would expect this to be a well attended game anyway, wouldn’t it be better to offer free tickets on a game where crowd is expected to be less to fill the ground and try and create a better atmosphere. Don’t think they’re going to need any help with that on Saturday.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Nice that it was given the green light.

Club were advertising just over an hour a go there were less than 30 tickets available in the main stand.

On the flip side giving them tickets to a high profile game with atmosphere may entice them back again rather then a boring mid week game with no away fans?
