VHTB - 18/02/10
18/02/10 17:57
The Huddersfield defeat in midweek was a reality check after the highs of the previous few days. Whilst we have Wembley to look forward to, it's the bread and butter of the league programme that we need to focus on. Greg Abbott has been rewarded with a 12 month extension to his current contract.
Don't forget the excellent Brunton Park diary is now updated on our website:

VHTB - 14/02/10
14/02/10 10:37
A cracking performance against MK Dons yesterday. It was nearly time to shave hair off for a second member Tony Little this week ( who's pledge was if we scored 6 ) following Ken Hullock's hair losing after making it to Wembley.
In what has turned out to be a brilliant week, the Branch has broken it's membership record with 10 year old Dylan McCormick becoming our 323rd Member.
Wembley
Tickets are priced at:-
Adult £24, £34 or £44
Concession £12, £17 or £22
* A concession is aged 16 years old and under or 65 years old and over
It goes without saying that if you want up to 9 tickets 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
In order to ensure you sit with other LB members please submit your orders to tickets@carlislelondonbranch.org by 3pm Thursday 18th Feb.
