    That's probably because it was a closed shop and Carlisle was too far to travel by pony and trap for all those Southern based clubs.

    Other interesting facts from that first season Chalky:

    1. Biggest home win. Aston Villa 9–1 Notts County. (29 September 1888).
    2. Biggest away win. Notts County 0–7 Preston North End (3 November 1888).
    3. Notts County finished joint bottom of the league having conceded 73 goals in 22 matches.

    Some things never change.

    Maybe your next username could be "Tetchy" instead of Chalky.

    You’d think that we would have strengthened our defence since then wouldn’t you
