50 Years Ago.... 09 Dec 2025 19:36 #1

50 Years Ago last week, 27 November 1965, Carlisle vs Middlesborough match was postponed due to water in the 'powder' form.

Despite efforts of the ground staff and volunteers, it proved impossibe to clear the snow off the pitch and find somewhere to deposit it. The Warwick Road shed was being constructed that year..

I love seeing old pictures of football grounds, especially BP . I have never seen these before either. I'd love to see more. There must be more hidden in people's cupboards somewhere!

Can never understand why, with so many photos of Old Carlisle, so few were of Brunton Park. Also didn'tCarlisle have two grounds before Brunton Park, but never seen a photo of either ground.

I seem to recall reading - maybe around the time of the centenary - that much of the club archive was lost in a fire (?).

The Grandstand was burnt down in 1953 so maybe stuff was lost in that.

This is 1925. No sure what's gan on here mind.

That fella in the middle is MRF complaining about tactics or summat I think.

Looks to me like theres a bloke tuning up his electric guitar at the front of the stand so possibly a early Rod Stewart concert or summat?

I think I've seen this one before and the caption said something about a Cumberland Wrestling competition.
The old Carlisle waterworks are in the background.

Maybe that bloke at the front of the stand is playing a ukalele rather than a electric guitar then
