As part of a pioneering initiative launched during the club’s Green Weekend, Carlisle United introduced specially branded, fully recyclable cups in partnership with Little Coffee Cup, John Watt & Son and a number of sustainability partners. To ensure the cups can be properly recycled, fans are asked to dispose of them separately from general waste. Once collected, the cups are processed and transformed into new products, helping to create a full circular economy and reduce environmental impact.

HALF-TIME – BIG SHOT

Our half-time game, Big Shot, gives you the chance to win a minimum of £1,000 at every home fixture.

A maximum of 20 lucky fans will step onto the Brunton Park pitch at the break and take one shot at kicking a size-five football through a 14-inch hole in the target on the Warwick Road End goalline.

Entry is just £5 per person, with £1 from every entry donated to Carlisle United Community Sports Trust. The remaining £4 goes into the prize pot, which rolls over until it’s won.

Due to nobody being successful during the season, there will not be the opportunity to win a car; Big Shot will take place as normal for the prize pot.

MATCHDAY CONDUCT

We would like to take this opportunity to remind fans of the importance of positive behaviour throughout the matchday experience. We encourage everyone to arrive early, enjoy the build-up respectfully, and support the team with enthusiasm once the action begins. If you witness anything that doesn’t feel right or an incident occurs, please alert a steward or a member of the stadium team so it can be addressed quickly and appropriately. Together, we can help ensure a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to abuse at Brunton Park.
