Other than the reasonable performances against top of the table opposition this month, two things have caught the imaginations of the online Carlisle United fans this month:
Sports Personality of the Year 1999
Vote for Jimmy Glass, the man who became a real sporting hero to all Carlisle United fans after scoring the goal which gave us our Great Escape.
Show of Support 2000
See in the new year and hopefully a new future for CUFC on 3 January 2000 (Carlisle United v Chester City) - join in SoS 2000
Hopefully, in the short term, a mass showing of fans might lift the players. When the crowd has got behind them this season it has helped. In the long term, it will remind the club that there is a fan base out there, money to be made from them, so they had better get the club sorted. The problem is getting the message across to all the stay-at-homes who say they don't want to give their money to Knighton :-(
It is easy to criticise from afar and turn a back to the problems, what we need is a united show of feeling to give the players a lift and the Club a jolt. No ill tempers, no barracking, just good, solid support.
I have managed to get my IML Match reports section up to date. In addition I discovered a spatial anomaly which allowed me to communicate with myself in an alternate universe where Carlisle United are in fact a top English club. I like this other reality - anyone care to join me there?
