883 Carlisle @ Barnsley

Some of them need to take a long hard look in the mirror. I'd think that some of them will struggle to find themselves another league club. Being a backup league one player is better than driving a van for a living. They just need to ask Owen Moxon. Show the right attitude and the opportunity...

I reckoned that's what you were presuming but I couldn't resist.

101 people have voted. 98 yes 3 no 98 + 3 = 101

There's a poll on our message board regarding still having faith in Paul Simpson. It currently stands at 98 yes and 3 no. There was abuse dished out after the game. Simpson believes it was being aimed towards him. I'm not so sure, he was caught in the crossfire of anger towards the players...

Truthfully we've been terrible and out of our depth all season. The first few months we were still riding the wave of promotion. The weather was fair and the excitement of league one was lifting us. The warning signs were there. We were obviously performing to the maximum of our capabilities...

A few more points that appear positive regarding our new owners. They've not hidden away during the process. They've sat in the East Stand, stood on the Warwick, talked to anyone in pubs and the fanzone before games. They've come over and attended obscure games. A friendly at Annan and a...

Brilliant. That all sounds positive. Good news stories are rare in football club ownership.

They've already explained the why Carlisle question. They undertook extensive research on a number of football league clubs before choosing us. By the way we were one of the shortlisted clubs for the Wrexham lot. They've already made it clear that all investment will be upfront with actual...

I find it hard to believe that you had the worst facilities in the bottom two leagues. We have nothing except a boxroom gym, a miniscule indoor 5 aside pitch and an outdoor pitch that spends most of the year waterlogged. Don't Barrow train in Manchester? I highly doubt that they own those...

Whatever the figures are, one thing is for certain, it's a huge upgrade on Andrew Jenkins and his £15/£20 million business. Especially when these lot seem willing to part with some hard cash unlike our departing friend. It's not just the money aspect. They'll drag all corners of the club up...

New ground. Easy traveling distance (though the trains tried to screw that). Positivity around the club for the first time in what feels like decades. A manager and players that have United the fanbase. The promise of the takeover from America removing the widely disliked current set-up. We feel...

Whatever positive opinions you have regarding supporter trusts, none of that applies to our version. There's far too much baggage attached to them, the main one which Moonie alluded to is when they decided it would be a good idea to take Fred Story to high court over some pointless land when we...

Neither of them are from Cumbria. I think they're very fair and say it how it is more often than not. When there's a player or team that is impressive they'll say it and if you're crap they'll say it (including if you're playing for Carlisle). Their knowledge of lower league players is solid...

The contrast between our home and away form was day and night. Didn't we win 14 home games in a row at one point?

Correct. It was Garner away at Crewe. It happened right in front of me and you knew straight away it was bad. For some bizarre reason he tried to stand up and carry on for a few minutes. Done for the season. For me that ranks as the biggest mistake the club made in the last 20 years. That's...

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since our last League One campaign. However back then we more than held our own against the likes of Leeds United and Nottingham Forest amongst others. Clubs like that shouldn't hold any fear for us. They need to be tackled head on with a positive...

I remember our discussion a couple of months ago regarding our possession. The way you wrote it came across as if you wanted us to keep any kind of possession. I misunderstood and said that aiming for a certain possession figure was meaningless. I think now looking back we were both wanting...

That's correct. Ours are aged 4 & 6. The people I know who can't go because of childcare, their kids are the same ages. They'd be happy to take the 6 year old but don't think the 4 year old would be up to it. So right there that's 3 tickets that would be sold if not for childcare. I'm sure...
