Do you think there is room for a successful non league team in Carlisle who could maybe get up to National League/ National League North level? The interest that was generated by Celtic Nation who got decent crowds up to1000 tells me there is. Carlisle City with decent marketing and a vision, providing a good match day experience perhaps? Crowds of 1000 plus is a possibility which would be more than enough at National League North level. Maybe competition is what Carlisle United need to up their standards in how they treat the fans?

580 would be well above average for National League North level, similar to Gateshead crowds in National League as well. Hundreds of football fans are boycotting BP because of the way the club have utter contempt for the fans. Another FC United of Manchester would be good.

No chance-I was looking around BP today trying to keep warm and recounting all the places I have stood and sat over 46 years.Too many memories.I really don't get how fans can switch allegiances to other clubs.

The only place I haven't been is the section above the exec boxes.Not sure why but never appealed.

I think my seat in the Pioneer is probably smack in the middle of the old scratching pen.

I have to say the pitch looked fantastic today-

Was tongue in cheek,we can dig out results now when earlier in the season we would have been 3 down by half time. COYB.

Unless you are a dead keen type, the entertainment is not always that great and not going to attract people away from doing something else they enjoy. We seem to have a loyal fan base who deserve much better than what we have witnessed over recent years.
