The friendly on Saturday against 'Stockport' has only the main stand and Paddock open, as is the league cup game against Stoke, which is only a few days before the Barrow game, the latter being a bit surprising as most people were expecting a decent crowd against Championship opposition.
But..........I'm presuming with your tickets going on sale that it 'IS' going ahead on the date specified as there was talk of switching the two dates to give the builders more time to finish their work.
However after going past BP today, the Warwick Road End and East Stand both still look like building sites.
Its going to be an interesting couple of weeks???
Indeed, had checked the Carlisle site a couple of times and was, to say the least, surprised that tickets for home fans had not yet been released. Talk of a 12,000 attendance may have been premature and with only two weeks to go, ticket office staff are going to be put under a lot of a pressure unless the club only issues e-tickets. Then it will be the sales platform under undue pressure!

Is the club not communicating with its fans? Very frustrating, if so. Building projects are notorious for overruns and better to bite the bullet early if there are issues. Assume the club will need a new safety certificate to include the affected areas too which, of course, may take time.

I believe it's standard practice at BP to start selling tickets on open sale 2 weeks prior to the game.
By my reckoning, that should be August 5th ( Monday).
Presumably, if the construction works aren't finished, it will be too late to just switch it to HS.

Speaking of construction work, has the cladding of our stands began yet? Scaffolding seems to have been up a while

They were adding bits of wood and metal to the away stand a couple of days ago when I drove past so you could call that a start.

After all, they're only 5 months late in completing the cladding, as per stipulated planning approval rules.

Not looking too rosy for our friends in the north, been humbled by two non-league outfits, Simmo out campaign gathering early momentum, now trouble at BP. Might give us competition this year for Cumbrian Kings of Catastrophe.

Yup, and it looks like the work on the ground will be finished just in time. Great to see, thought they'd maybe been a bit too ambitious with all the projects being launched together.

Anybody know when away tickets are going on general sale for the Carlisle game? Can’t see anything on club website.
Cheers in advance.

According to the article, should be any day now. 'Initial sales window' will last a week. The initial sale to ST holders and home friendly ticket holders began on 27th July.

Cheers. For some reason I just get a cached version of news articles even though I refreshed the page

That's the trouble with a Paul Simpson side. 5 games of shite then a good performance and everyone loves him. I can't believe he kept his job after last season
