Impressive. For some reason I thought you had never set foot out of Carlisle. Im sure our London branch still has a membership of one. Carlisle is a bigger club, no doubt, you have to ask why there are no more five figure crowds. What else is there to do in Carlisle on a Saturday afternoon, or a Tuesday evening?

You need a presence in the city centre, united had a shop for a while. Brand a bus. Have blokes walking in the city centre wearing sandwich boards advertising games on matchday, just remind people.

I went to Majorca many years ago and Majorca colours were behind the reception, I asked if Majorca were at home at the weekend, and yes, they got four extra fans.
