IN MEMORIAM
For our home game against Truro City on Saturday 6 September, we would like to take a moment to reflect on those we have lost since our last In Memoriam fixture last season.
This allows us to remember players, supporters, former members of staff, and others connected with the club.
We will be holding a minute of applause ahead of kick-off, as the names (and accompanying pictures, if requested) of all those we wish to remember are displayed on the club’s big screen.

HALF-TIME – BIG SHOT
Our half-time game, ‘Big Shot’, is back!
It gives supporters the chance to win a big money prize, with a minimum of £1,000 up for grabs at every home fixture.

Perfect placement is required to pocket the cash!
Entry is just £5 per person, with £1 from every entry donated to Carlisle United Community Sports Trust to support outreach programmes in the community. The remaining £4 goes straight into the prize pot, which continues to roll over until it’s won.
