The good news is that our Branch membership reached a milestone this week with Charlie Burgess getting the prestigious honour of being the 300th member. Now onto the bad. The supporters team lost out in a tight, hard fought game, but at least they scored in a 3-1 defeat ( a net buster from Dave Batey ). We played in white and passes were picked out all day. This was in contrast to the game at Sixfields where I'm convinced that the black shirts are doing us no favours.
Do you know that the London Branch are proud sponsors of extended highlights on the world subscription service and that 65% of the subscription fee goes to Carlisle United ?
