Carlisle v United

[Eskimo]

Ok it might have been 1979 or 1980 when we won 3-0. Tempus fugit.

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

Oh yes.

If you think United are bad for turning down or releasing players who go on to greater things, Kendal Town (Netherfield as it was) released Tom Finney as he was 'a bit lightweight and will never make it'.

He was a good plumber, though!

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?

Sold out BTW away fans will be under cover.

If our lass keeps playing up, then I might go up to this one

Edit- just seen its all ticket so will have to get another excuse to not be in the house

My only visit at Brunton Park was in the 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup in 1973. Travelled by train. Like Sitters, I had to walk across a field to get to the ground. Dennis Martin opened the scoring nodding in a cross by Chris Balderstone (played cricket for England against the West Indies 3 years later). Bill Dearden equalised but Bob Delgado (later moved to Rotherham) got the winner. Woody didnt play in that match due to an injury and Ian Holmes took his place in the right wing

Ian Holmes took his place in the right wing

I was at school with Ian - big pig fan!

My mate found out he has to work tomorrow, so I have a spare ticket, you'll have to sit next to a fat bloke.

Thinking of going here for a pint

De La Salle then? We always had the edge on them even when the Fenoughtys were part of their 1st XI (and the aforementioned Ian Holmes)

Absolutely correct. I played Rugby Union for De La Salle at the weekend but played football for the House team (Clitheroe - red shirts) during the week - 2nd XI captain. 1961 to 1969 were happy days

Bert was on that train, a cold day and the ground felt as if it was in the middle of the moors. It was a surprise defeat for us in the days when the FA Cup was a very important competition.

Bah Clitheroe rubbish... Lockwood green forever ....don't get me started on the yellow pooftas in Kirkham...and the blue piggy bastards in Ludlam

 

[Caveblade]

Never been to Carlisle, made a last minute decision to go, bought tickets in the wrong end, but looking forward to ticking another ground off.
