VHTB - 10/02/10 - Wembley Here We Come!
10/02/10 19:25
What a night. So typical Carlisle and like so many, my head is sore this morning. I will circulate ticket details for Wembley ASAP and options for the day will be discussed at the Branch meeting tomorrow.
It goes without saying that if you want a ticket through the Branch you will need to ensure you have enough money in your TDS.
To top up, send a cheque payable to CUSCLB to Bob Brookes at 51 Lavender Grove, York YO26 5RX
Matchdays
