United going down narrowly 1-0 again to their then Premiership opponents as Darren Bent scored the only goal of the game for the Addicks in the 57th minute as just 8,190 spectators looked on.
Carlisle also played away to Charlton in the old Division Two in the 1985-86 campaign, the return fixture at Brunton Park that season of course being the infamous Jim Tolmie match. The game in London was played at Selhurst Park though in Charlton's temporary spell away from the Valley. The Addicks winning 3-0 with only 3,059 fans in attendance thanks to goals from former Blue John Pearson, George Shipley and John Humphrey.
