It is 46 miles from Kendal to Carlisle United's Brunton Park. It is 25 miles from Kendal to Morecambe's ground. It is 71 miles from Carlisle to Morecambe.

As a child / youth I watched Kendal Town (nee Netherfield) playing in the Lancashire Combination > Northern Premier League against Morecambe as the enemy. Then when I could do so I started to be a Carlisle United supporter and it remains so. In 2007 Morecambe got into League Two but it made no difference to me. Now as a Kendalian and Carlisle United supporter I no longer regard Morecambe as the enemy.
