Another Match Called Off For Carlisle

The match called off this afternoon due to safety fears around the stadium, with the Huish Park pitch playable at present. Snow last night, some light fall today and then a rotten forecast for tomorrow morning has seen the match called off though after Town officials consulted with their Safety Advisory Group today, with a mammoth trip for Carlisle supporters also one thing to take into consideration.

The postponement however sees United, who are one of just four teams in League One who have played eleven home matches and only eight away games to date, looking at a hefty fixture backlog on the road after Christmas. Carlisle now facing the prospect, starting with Oldham on Boxing Day weather permitting, of playing a mammoth 15 away league matches in just over four months, as well as Torquay in the FA Cup and Huddersfield in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

It also brings about some future tough times for Blues fans too as far as getting time off from work is concerned next year. Carlisle now facing midweek evening trips to firstly Huddersfield Town in the already mentioned JPT area final, as well as long journeys to League One matches at Leyton Orient, Charlton Athletic, Yeovil Town and Brentford, and then Huddersfield once more in the league.
