Blue Season Book

Neil Nixon is working on another Blueseason book covering the present league season. One thing he would like to add this time is a section with fan comments. He needs about a dozen dedicated fans to make some comments in the following categories:

Player of the season:

Best thing about this season:

Worst thing about this season:

If you could change one thing for next season, what would it be?

He will credit everyone whose responses appear in the book. Please send the answers directly to Neil Nixon on Facebook or e-mail them to nlnxn@aol.com.

*** 9th May 1999 - Thousands of Carlisle supporters woke up with a hangover after that goal on the previous day( reproduced with kind permission from ' On This Day ' ).

I don't think anyone could have written the script better. As sponsors on saturday, over 50 members had a fantastic day and the weekend just got better as Jimmy Glass starred for our supporters team in a game against the Scandanavian Branch before some of us finished off with a great night at the Awards Dinner.

I'm sure there are loads of great photos and memories that those in attendance can share in order to make the next edition of Hit the Bar a real cracker. Please therefore send as much as you can into Dave Brown before the deadline of Saturday at editor@carlislelondonbranch.org and anything that you are happy to see up on our website to Paul Parke at webmaster@carlislelondonbranch.org.
