Anyone still going to Carlisle ?

[GrahamwantshisOates]

1972 was the last time I went, won 2-3, Billy Bentley thunderbolt

I was at that game. They ran a football special train.

Yep. Love Brunton Park.

Coming out of the train station on the corner is The Griffin ( recently refurbished and is pretty ok now ).
The road running to the right of the Griffin is Botchergate , where you’ll find several pubs. Only decent ones really are Lloyds and William Rufus ( both Wetherspoons ).

Chances are though, the police will try and escort you around the crescent ( facing you as you exit the station ) and on to Warwick Road.
If that’s the case, the Crescent bar is good., as is Bar Solo on the corner
Turning right onto Warwick road you’ll find the Andalusian , which is a nice pub, as is Barton’s Yard anchored to the Halston Hotel pretty much next door.

If you go round the crescent , but instead of turning right onto Warwick road go pretty much straight on, onto Lowther Street , the Last Zebra is only a handful of establishments down , and is a nice pub too.

If you’re escorted down Warwick road the only place really for a pint pre match is in the Rugby Club on the left, just before Brunton Park.
* Alternatively, there’s Stoneyholme Golf Club on St Aidans Road, on the way to the ground. Google directions, and check opening times too.

Doubt they’ll let you in the Beehive, as that’s traditionally a ‘home’ supporters pub pre match.

Plenty of pubs to pick from, but they are my recommendations.

Hope that helps

Made us all go in the Griffin last time and then a bit later to the Weatherspoons

I was at that game. They ran a football special train.

I went with my dad I was only 12 but it's one of those games that has stuck in my mind, it was a cracker.

 

[Taunton Tangerine]

2 of us from Taunton , 5 hour booze up on the train .

There'll be relegated by the time we play them. Final chance for a while and it'll be a game with little consequence for either side and so might be quite entertaining with the shackles off.

At 4pm yesterday we had sold just under 1000 tickets
Still 8 days to go for sales. People will buy tomorrow before or after the match

 

[Gods honest truth]

4 here going by train ,Buy your rail tickets split save or break your journey up eg Blackpool- Preston -Carlisle it’s a bit cheaper.
