Is using horses something to do with them being in the dark ages up there and only very recently discovering the wheel?what was that all about yesterday with such a heavy police presence? I’ve only ever seen police horses at Millwall games since we were in the championship.

You can see I'm not a race fanYou surely missed a trick not saying Cheltenham...........

i remember this because it was horrible trip to get there. all denim, flares & long hair. trouble going through a park next to a river.I went to Carlisle in the 70's and they had a hard mob back then and were ranked as bad as Millwall and Leeds, and we got welcomed with bricks and bottles by the friendly locals,so maybe they still have a bad reputation !
800 up there is a cracking following in the middle of winter.Obviously was a big away following for Carlisle as we were listening to BBC Radio Cumbria on the way home and the Carlisle version of Clive Eakin commented to Keith Curle that if they had regular away attendances of over 800 his transfer kitty would have a big boost! Incidentally Keith thought that a draw would have been a fair result, a view that the commentator responded too with an incredulous “really?” City much the better team in the second half. Carlisle were on a good run but the bad performance and result had lots of texters calling for the manager’s head.
I spoke to a few people around the stadium yesterday and would have to say that the Carlisle people I met were very friendly, polite and smiley. A nice friendly, community club.
Hey-I spotted you with them on yesterday!i remember this because it was horrible trip to get there. all denim, flares & long hair. trouble going through a park next to a river.
Sounds like a standard day in BelfastYears ago Carlisle hooligans were named as the worst in the country. I witnessed their notoriety that day in the 70's,but we weren't exactly angels ourselves.Worst hooligans I'd say were at Stoke away 70's/80's. They'd lob anything at you,bricks,bottles,stones, and that was after their team had won !
If I recall, didn't they use to wait by either a roundabout or dual carriageway and watch the opposition fans drive in as they approached the ground?Years ago Carlisle hooligans were named as the worst in the country.

I remember Blackburn away (FA cup 4-1 game) they kept all the coaches in at the service station and took us all in to the ground together in in convoy with police escort!If I recall, didn't they use to wait by either a roundabout or dual carriageway and watch the opposition fans drive in as they approached the ground?
Be about a mile or so out from the stadium.
One game at Stoke a few hundred of us City fans were making our way back to the station. As we passed a graveyard at the front of a church and being led by about a dozen coppers,up from behind the gravestones were Stoke fans ! They were throwing bricks at us and the coppers shouted for us to run. We didn't have a chance so we legged it and how the hell we got to the station was pure luck and adrenalin I reckon.They were trying to attack our train, but we got cocky when in the train and gave them the hand signals etc.I'll never forget that day !If I recall, didn't they use to wait by either a roundabout or dual carriageway and watch the opposition fans drive in as they approached the ground?
