The deadline for the next issue is 8th March so please contribute reports, letters and general craic. Colour pictures really enhance the magazine - not football action on the pitch because of copyright .Why not write a letter to the Editor. What is your reaction to the season so far ? Have you heard any Degsy Balls ? Has he made many recently ? Any Carlisle/Football jokes would also be welcome.

Please email Dave Brown : editor@carlislelondonbranch.org with all your contributions.
