    Brunton Park Covenant?

    From a correspondent. I've tried to put this up on the other board but it won't let me - I'm convinced that it's f­ucked.....


    There is a belief held by some Carlisle United supporters that there is a covenant on Brunton Park. That is true. Indeed there are several covenants on Brunton Park, all of which are to do with the owner being responsible for being a 'good neighbour'. These covenants specify that the owner (CUFC 1921) must be responsible for the building and maintaining of boundary infrastructure such as fences. The boundary fence to the rugby club must have a door with a lock and one key must be given to the rugby club. You can read exactly what these covenants are by looking at this absolutely definitive evidence from HM Land Registry. :- https://tinyurl.com/CUFC1921-HM-Land-Registry

    I state above that there are 'good neighbour' covenants and I have supplied proof from HM Land Registry.

    There are Carlisle United supporters who believe that there is a covenant restricting the usage of Brunton Park to sport / football etc. Please could such people provide proof that there is such a covenant by supplying evidence of it? The following is not evidence :-

    "My mate told me ...."
    "A bloke in the pub told me ...."
    "A previous owner of the club told me ...."
    "I have seen ...."

    Until satisfactory proof has been produced it is sensible to be believe that there is no covenant on Brunton Park which restricts its usage to that of sport / football etc.

    HM Land Registry documents in PDF form can be obtained after signing up to :- https://www.gov.uk/government/organi.../land-registry
    Most documents cost £3, a few are more expensive such as the 'Flood Risk' one. The quick way to access the Brunton Park section is to use the code 'CU119715'.

    This matter was brought up at the Holdings and 1921 board meetings of Friday 15th December 2017. No member of either board was aware of any category of seriously restrictive covenant on Brunton Park.

    I doubt it as we’ve had the summer concerts.

    In theory it can be used for anything, knock it down and build houses on it, although not a good idea in a flood plain.
