Carlisle United Football Club

Manager Keith Curle said: “Orient are a good side and in Andy [Hessenthaler] they have a manager who demands performances. He’s passionate and he wants to win games and I can relate to that, because I’m exactly the same.

“They will be competitive and they’ll try to stop us from playing, but we know we have a good squad here. We think we know the threats they will bring and we have prepared diligently.

“It was good to see over 5,000 people here last weekend and hopefully they are spreading the word. We are trying to play the game the right way and we are determined to keep the good run going.”

They have 35 guests who will be joining us in our brand new Sponsor’s Lounge, which opened at the start of this season. 

With a private bar, food served before the game and a Man-of-the-Match presentation afterwards, we hope that everyone enjoys their day with us. 

Luke is a Reggie Lambe fan and Kyle tells us that Jason Kennedy is his favourite player. As for ice cream – you’ll find them munching on chocolate or mint choc-chip! 

Have a great day guys!

Mr Toner has taken charge of six games so far this season and has shown 17 yellow cards, an average of just under three bookings per game.

Our last meeting with him was for our 0-0 draw at Cambridge in April when Hallam Hope and Mark Ellis were sent off. Tom Miller, Danny Grainger and Charlie Wyke were also booked on the day.

This week we take a look at the transfer window to see the impact that just one big money move can have, and particularly as deadline day approaches. Our walk through the past takes us into the 1982/83 season, and we also bring you bang up to date with an excellent start to the season for our U18 side.

Packed with stats, facts, history and features, and priced at just £2, it’s one not to be missed. 

The Zone opens as soon as the turnstiles open at 1.30pm and closes just before full time, with fully qualified staff on hand to help throughout.

Entry to the Family Zone is for Pioneer Foods Stand ticket holders only. Supporters with youngsters who want to go into the Family Zone can switch locations at a cost of 50p (seated area to seated area) or £3 (terraced area to seated area) per ticket.

But remember, Family Zone ticket prices are £2 cheaper across the board – call 0844 371 1921 for more details! Adults and seniors MUST be accompanied by a child or junior to qualify for the discount.

A catering van with hot food options will be situated externally in the main car park on the west side of the ground. Snacks and light refreshments are available inside the ground for our Paddock and Warwick Road End supporters.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we wait for the work on our catering huts to be completed.

Head to the main ticket office windows, adjacent to the main entrance, during working hours.

Please note – the Pioneer Stand ticket office and Paddock ticket office are both open on match days. Tickets for these areas of the stadium can be purchased from these satellite ticket offices as normal in the lead up to the game.

The ticket office is open from 10am to 5pm on weekdays (and until kick off for midweek games) and from 10am to 5.15pm on weekend match days.

It is worth noting that entry can be gained on match days by showing your ticket confirmation email on your smart phone or equivalent device. Simply present the relevant section of your eTicket for scanning at point of entry.

Please do not be offended if you are asked for ID when purchasing alcohol and if you appear to be under the age of 25 to our bar staff.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Please be aware that the ground is still soft underfoot, so take care when navigating and walking around the area.
