Carlisle on Saturday

[krissyboy31]

Ohh Nooossss!!!

Until this morning I was confident of our first 3 point haul on the road this season and finally getting into positive territory. That was before I realised that they were playing the Skates this evening. I can see a heavy home victory coming in that one and just our luck, their confidence will be sky high on Saturday.

[skintsaint]

extra time would be nice and then a demorising 3-0 defeat after extra time...

[sfcjmcsfc16]

Papa score for reserves?

[stevegrant]

No matter how rubbish Pompey have been in the league (and by all accounts they actually played alright against Villa), they won't lose to Carlisle tonight. 4/5 on them to win is decent value, IMO.

[Arizona]

Can't believe it. Carlisle is less than 2 hours from my house and I can't go because I'm working.

[saints triumph]

Off up to blackpool for my sons engagement meal on Friday. Then we are off to carlisle the following day, only 98 miles from blackpool.

[Dr Who?]

can you buy tickets on the day?

ON this basis I have just put a bet on Carlisle to win. And Leeds.

No. Trust me. It'll be a 0-0 draw at full-time, exhausting extra time, lots of injuries, then a close defeat for portsmouth on penalties. Carlisle emotionally and physically drained for saturday. Portsmouth humiliated.

Ok? ;-)

+1?

[marc_saint]

Any unsold told (which im sure there will be) will be coming off sale at St Marys on Friday at 4pm. They will then be transfered upto Carlisle for sale on the day.

me and a couple of mates are staying in Blackpool for the weekend and making the trip to carlise on the saturday too, you driving or the train?

[Um Bongo]

Ian Harte has put Carlisle 1-0 up after 3 minutes....beating Pompey :D

[S-Clarke]

lol @ portsmouth.

ahhhhh they're ****ed.

but do we want Carlisle to have a confidence boosting win......or a morale sapping thrashing with red cards and a few knocks ahead of Saturday?

Not sure yet. My son is sussing the time and cost of the train. Its only 98 miles from blackpool by road. But it would be good to have a few celebratery beers though. Does anyone know how far from the rail station the gound is.

[Arizona]

I'd rather Carlisle won to be honnest. Would make it all the more satisfying if we won on Saturday.

Yesterday when I got a couple of tickets, I asked if there would be any on sale on the day, they said they didn't know yet but there are about 350 left.

[S-Clarke]

carlisle 1-1 skates

[hypochondriac]

I want Pompey to win because it will mean that their manager will keep his job. 2-1 Skates.

[ooohTerryHurlock]

Can't believe it. Carlisle is less than 2 hours from my house and I can't go because I'm working.

do you not feel sick on saturday??? I think you do!!

Bout a mile or so, it looks like on the map anyway, couple of pubs on route too

*edit found this


Brunton Park is situated about a mile from Carlisle Citadel station, but is relatively easy to get to. Upon exiting the station's main entrance, walk the short distance around The Crescent until reaching Warwick Road. You will be able to see the old Main Stand and the strangely-shaped roofs of the Warwick Road end after walking for about twenty minutes. There are directions to the away supporters' turnstiles above the Carlisle United club shop

[Arizona]

Sadly not. Not worth the lost £££, not by a long way.

Should be getting to quite a few games after this weekend though.

[Saint Mikey]

Anyone know how many of the 'best fans in the world' (TM) actually travelled up there this eve? I'll take a guess at 2/300 max.

569 away fans according the match report

[RedAndWhite91]

Just read this on a Carlisle forum written about the P*rtsmouth away fans.

"I dont give out praise lightly at all but possibley the best away fans i have ever seen at BP. None stop racket for 94 mins.

One of the few proper footballing towns."

"They are great fans - the most loyal I've ever met, having lived in pompey for 6 years or so. Very proud of their city, it's history and their footy club."

On Saturday we have to be louder and better, so Carlisle fans don't think "Ooh Pompey fans were better than them"... We, as fans, now have a point to prove! Let's not let our club down, let's get behind them 100%, get the 3 points, and prove that our support is better than Pompey's.

Sounds good to me

[rick1976.4.38]

well up for this,hope stewards are not too fussy with us standing,lets get it rockin,weve got to be better than the skates,coyr

[JustMike]

really looking forward to this one, let just hope for 3 more points too :-)

[mrs woody]

Spoke to a Ponpey fan who thought it was so funny that they had stuck Pompey stickers on the seats. I dont know what is more sad them sticking them on the seats or them actually wasting money buying them!

[St Michael]

I phoned the SFC ticket office and was told away fans will be able to pay on the gate at Brunton Park. Apparently ground is 10 mins walk from the train station. Am getting the train up from Leeds. See you there, folks.

[RedAndWhite91]

I hope our support is vocal up there. I don't want to be the only person standing...

[rick1976.4.38]

red and white what row you in,

[RedAndWhite91]

Not sure yet, my mate has my ticket... I'll find out later and let you know.

Don't sit in your allocated seat. HTH.

We are driving up. Just rung the ticket office and they said there are approx. 300 tickets left and they will be selling tickets on the day.

[View From The Top]

My 7yo lad and I will be travelling up.

I plan to go where it's loudest and where people are standing. I hope it's like Charlton but not holding out for that. Hopefully there will be common sense and those who want to sing and stuff will band together.

What does HTH mean ?

[RedAndWhite91]

HTH = Hope this helps.

From a Carlisle fans site!!

''A midweek game where tbf the draw of Carlisle was not that brilliant.
Just under 600 in attendance. I wonder how many scummers will be at the game on saturday for what is an important league match?
I would hope more than what Pompey brought last night but I wonder what noise they make!?''

''You lot judge!''



Well believe it or not Yak pal, the lure of Premiership opposition in the form of Portsmouth wasn't that great either, hence why the attendance was only just over 7,000.

Weak Premiership club in quality and stature,whose stay in the top flight will highly likely be coming to an end come May. You've been punching above your weight for too many years now, are you are not attractive opponents.

Can we stop the ****ging of their support? They are still southern fairies, no matter what racket that nutjob with his bell can make, it's embarrassing. They probably view away games as a chance to escape the doom and gloom of Portsmouth

[Roger Ramjet]

Is anyone actually going out in Carlisle after the game on Sat?!

Sounds like most are heading back to B'pool - fun, but been there done that last season...

[Legod Third Coming]

Carlisle is a MUST WIN game for me.

To build the confidence and momentum we need for the season ahead - indeed for the next five years - nothing else really matters.

To win the game - however it comes - would send a signal to the team, the fans and the remainder of the league that we are BACK and we now mean business.

Two wins becomes three and then four...

That's how sport works, MOMENTUM.

For those of you hardy souls going, don't let us down - I know you won't.

[S-Clarke]

Pard's has more or less confirmed on Saints Player that Papa and Thomo are out of the game on Saturday.

He states he's targeting a win there, as he wants to go to the home game v rovers on +1, as that will be an extremely hard game.

Also said, in his usual honest way, that the fans have been outstanding...but he's sure they will loose faith at points during the season, because in his words....''we're not a very good team yet''.

Think yopu'll be better off going back to Blackpool. Was there on Monday night (got out quick on Tuesday). It was closed. Seriously. Took ages to find anywhere open to eat, very few pubs were even occupied (and not many existed). I could not believe how **** the town was, looked like Skateville on a bad day LOL.

Still should be able to win without Papa and Thomas hopefully.

You would have thought so. Waigo, despite having my vote as a decent prospect this for this season, has not yet had a massive impact. We have been doing alright without him, and that won't change on Saturday. Be good to have him back though. Thomas is a good player but he has been playing out of position, shame not to have him available but we will be alright.

[tonibell]

We are going to the game then staying in Blackpool (Premier Inn) and back Sunday. Also I backed Lambert to score first with Ladbrooke at 11/2 should be a good weekend

The Skates also kicked off in the town centre, so we must make sure we throw more chairs and glasses than them. Wouldn't want Carlisle thinking Pompey are better than us.

[dickyhale]

Rolly and l are going Saturday then off to Blackpool aswell. COYR

[saintsforlife7]

Will be there with five others and plan to stand in amongst the atmosphere and get the Lambert song going along with the usual songs. Do we have a roof by the way?

[Cowesboy]

I'm traveling up on the 07:30 from London Euston on Saturday morning. Booked in to the travelodge for the Saturday night.

[Iowsaintsfan]

Cant wait, just getting ready to go catch the boat and head up to Blackpool today See you up there!

Doesn't sound great, but I'm not expecting much!

Return train tickets booked for Sunday so it's Carlisle whatever

Hopefully, being a Saturday things will be a little more lively!!

If anyone knows of any good places that will be 'open for business' let me know

[saints triumph]

I am off to blackpool in half an hour. Going out for a meal tonight, but wouldn't mind meeting up after the game in blackpool and have a few. Anyone else up for it.
