Many of them nearer to Barrow(,the only EFL club in this part of the world) may suddenly decide to switch allegiances and start supporting Barrow due to the fact that they are totally fed up with the way the club is being run.
If they carry on complaining about their benefactor owners they in turn may walk away which would only inflict more damage on their club and bring more supporters on our direction.After all there is now only one place to watch proper football.
Here's hoping.

It’s not the owners they are complaining about it’s those advising the owners they want rid of. CEO Nigel Cribbens recruiter Greg Abbott and Clarkson the sporting Director

Philips with an almost Kevin Keegan esk moment, on about Twitter stuff, Carlisle gave it plenty over time on their social feed, then we put “The only EFL club in Cumbria” the comment on the social was something like:-

“Barrow were irked when Carlisle did it, after they first came into the league, but I think that’s pretty poor from Barrow, coz they were really bothered by Carlisle doing that, and the second it’s changed, they have done it!”

Personally think he’s looking into it to deep, it’s just a bit of “back n forth” rather than rubbing peoples noses in it.

It’s a bit of craic; sure if you asked the Carlisle media team they’d have expected it after the stuff they were tweeting after both games against us, always going to get some stick back

In trying to appear balanced ( which he most certainly is not) he said that when Carlisle first did it, it too was not good - or words to that effect. However , I doubt very much that he said that when they did do it !

As one of their participants commented, they’ve got bigger problems than the BAFC social media output.

We can enjoy our time in the spotlight next season, and delight in their current plight, but they’ll be back soon and when that happens it will be good for both clubs .

Cartridge there is that Alan partridge air to the points raised, least it makes for an entertaining listen, still not a patch on the Barrow one though.

He spent the last 30 seconds saying Carlisle could be saved if the EFL kick-out Reading
