Carlisle United Operations Manager and Supporter Liaison Officer has provided the following details for Town supporters travelling to Brunton Park on Saturday.
TRAVEL
Brunton Park (postcode CA1 1LL) is served by the nearby M6 motorway and for fans travelling by car/coach to the game please leave at junction 43 (A69) and head west – the main supporter’s car park is situated on the right-hand side and is on the East Side of the ground.
The entrance to this is at the third set of traffic lights having left the motorway, opposite the Foreways shop. Parking charges are £2.50 for cars, £10 for mini buses and £15 for coaches.
Coach drivers wanting to watch the match must purchase a ticket for the game – if purchased in advance a saving of up to £3 can be made.
For those arriving at Carlisle Railway Station the ground is roughly a 20 minute walk – please leave the station and walk straight ahead to the crescent, follow this round to the left and when you reach Nando’s turn right and then you are on Warwick Road that leads to the ground which you will see on the left-hand side with the club shop situated at the main entrance.
The entrance for away fans seating is at the next entrance on the left. For those who do not want to walk from the station taxis though are available across the road to the left as you leave the station.
PRE-GAME
The away concourse will be open for fans from roughly 1.30pm. However, we are more than happy for your fans to head round from the away east side of the ground to the west side and use our Sunset Lounge which is open from 12.30pm or sooner if required where there is a big screen showing the live match that day.
We will be selling pies, burgers and hot dogs and in addition at the bar they can also purchase coffee etc… Please note as this is an old stand access is by stairs and there is no wheelchair access. (Following the floods in Carlisle catering is via a van outside but food can then be taken into the Sunset Suite).You may also use the adjacent Sporting Inn bar as well.
TICKETS
Admission into the ground is by ticket only and we would encourage fans to purchase in advance as there is a discount available.
However, fans arriving on the day can purchase a ticket up to 1.30pm at our main ticket office on the West side of the ground after that time tickets can be purchased from our away ticket office at the northern end of the Pioneer East Stand adjacent to the away turnstiles.
Away tickets for collection will be available from 1.30pm at our Away ticket office.
