Carlisle United – Club Statement 21 October 2025
Carlisle United confirms that we have been contacted by The Football Association (FA) for our observations following a report of an incident of abuse during Saturday’s fixture against Forest Green Rovers at Brunton Park.
This relates to allegations of offensive, discriminatory chants and abuse aimed at Forest Green Rovers Manager Robbie Savage, during the game.
The Club is reviewing the points raised. This includes providing the information requested, reviewing available video, audio and CCTV footage as part of our response to The FA.
Carlisle United has clear expectations for supporter behaviour, and takes any incidents that do not meet our expectations very seriously. The Club promotes equality, diversity and inclusion and expects everyone attending Brunton Park to show respect for all participants, players, staff, officials, opponents and fellow fans.
We understand games are passionate and emotive, but abusive or discriminatory language and chanting is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the Club, as detailed in our Club Charter and policies.
Any instances identified will be dealt with in accordance with our Sanctioning Policy.
The Club will make no further comment until The FA process is complete.
