Just wondering if anyone is even going to this game? The 2nd of January, feeling rough and a going as far north as you can go, just to stand on an uncovered terrace in the freezing cold, what isnt appealing about that?

I don't think we'll be standing on an open terrace. I'd think we'll get part of the new(ish) 'Storey Homes Stand', which is all seats, with roof.
It will be freezing cold though. Carlisle is in December. Mind you, it's pretty nippy in July.

Only place that happened to me was in Donny, walking by those flats near the station in the 80s sometime, the pellet hit the bottom of my trainer.

Last chance to visit Brunton Park its earmarked to get demolished in favour of a new ground

I'll be there with my dad as well and my mate from work. Traveling up and back with a Carlisle fan so hopefully we will be singing on the way back and or him!! Can't wait to go! We're in the storey? stand so we will be covered up.
Does anyone know if we have the uncovered end?

So a few more going than the 5 i expected! Only ever went through Carlisle once so i don't know where any boozers are, any info would be greatly appreciated, between the train station and the ground. Although when i suggested getting to carlisle early doors for a drink my old man said cautiously "We will have to keep our heads down a bit, Carlisle can have a few lunatics....." obviously he meant to keep down to avoid being shot by pikeys with air rifles.......

Until 2 years ago my job meant I had to stay in Carlisle very regularly. When I changed jobs I said that I would never set foot in the fucking place again, and I'm sticking to that.
I'm going too. I'm travelling from London with the missus to see my own family December 27th - 30th, then on to Edinburgh 31st - 3rd to see her family. She's arranged to meet old school friends on the 2nd, so rather than sit listening to a bunch of women yakking, I'm fucking off over the border for a few hours!

Just got train tickets for 6 of us - nobody fancied driving. Gone up £4 since I looked last night - bugger! Few tinnies on the train, bite to eat in town centre before a gentle stroll to the ground and another Blades away win - perfect end to the Xmas break!
Away supporters in covered stand as well - bonus!!

Which pubs are worth visiting, must have real ale.
If you think Carlisle is the arse end of nowhere, just pray we never, ever get the chance to play Barrow, Workington or Whitehaven. All three make Rovrum look proper classy! Kendal isn't much better, but at least its closer to the motorway & railway.
I'm going to be there for my first United away game - one of those glory hunters i guess.
Practically a local game for me - well, the same county, even if it is nearly an hour away.

I like Kendal. Nice little town. Traffic can be a bit of a mess though.
