But we should have enough for them.
Wonder if the team is going up and staying over night, a very long old drive.

A long haul, indeed. Think how stiff you are after a long drive. Think how much worse it is for sports people needing their legs in top condition. Perhaps they need to do some calisthenics on the coach up.

I heard Yak is going up for this one, but he's going up early and taking a paint brush

Have we been de-Moxicated? well I think you'll have to wait a little longer for an answer to that! Moxy wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders when he left us, and his replacement looks promising without (as yet) setting the world on fire.
However I do feel if we concede first then there will be only one result and that's not a home win, however if 'WE' score first then it might just ignite a spark.
Unfortunately for us, Simmo is in 'panic mode' losing the last 5 games and only winning one of the last 13, so strange line ups, panic substitutions and trying to put square pegs in round holes are the order of the day, so heaven knows what will happen on Saturday, and realistically if we are going to have any chance of staying up then we are going to have to win 10 of the last 16 games (play off form), and we've never looked anything like that all season. Saturday would be an ideal opportunity to start.
For those travelling up to the most beautiful part of the country, enjoy your trip up, but have a thoroughly miserable journey back.

Looking forward to a trip to the frozen Norf Bry, it is indeed a great part of the world so we’ll probably spend a few days up there.

The weather forecast includes some of the white stuff, so here’s hoping that doesn’t affect the game.

Any suggestions on decent pubs to visit on our trip? Quirky ones, historic ones etc?

A couple of us are hoping to do some walking while we’re up there too.

Obviously I wish Carlisle well but hope your recovery starts after Saturday. 

Its actually snowing as I type, thankfully not heavy enough to worry about, tomorrow (Thursday) is the one we're been warned about, but should clear OK for Saturday. Fantastic on the fells at this time of the year if the weather is kind to you.
 Pubs, there aren't that many near the ground, the Bee Hive being the obvious one, but with your guys bringing a large following then it will be for home fans only. However the Rugby Club next door welcomes away fans as does the Lakeland Gate about half a mile on the left as you go towards Brunton Park, however that is a family friendly pub which serves meals and is often packed on a Saturday. Other than that there are plenty of pubs up town, if your coming by train then The Old Bill will probably try to usher you into the Griffin (which is actually a decent pub) next to the station. However if you can break through those shackles then there are loads of pubs near by. I haven't heard of any trouble up town for a while so as long as some fans don't act like 'Billy Big Bollocks' (on both sides) everything should be fine.
Anyway enjoy your visit to the Norf, but not too much eh???

Cheers for the info Bry.

We’ll probably be following the snow up tomorrow, so the Bill will not be herding us.

Any decent pubs anywhere in the City (or just outside) is what we’re after.

Obviously I will look some up but local knowledge is invaluable.

Cheers again mate.

Depends on what type of pubs your after, City Centre or Botchergate has loads, there are a couple of Wetherspoons, The Griffin, The Cally, Brew Dog, The Cumberland, The Apple Tree, Lloyds, Border Rambler and loads of others. Only pubs I would stay clear of are pubs on some of the housing estates as there are a few dodgy ones.
If your looking for 'real ale' pubs, most serve those ales as well. The Howard Arms was the one that was noted for Real Ale, however (I may be wrong) but I think its closed.
We'll be in the Rugby Club (they serve real ale as well) from around 1 to 1.30pm, providing my mate Malcolm doesn't forget to pick me up and where his accelerator is in his car.

After that it gets more difficult.

If we get 9 points in the next 3 games, I think we will go up automatically. 

We are bound to get more injuries so we need to win these easier games (on paper). We can then scrape over the finishing line.

What happened to no team can get promoted with Raggett in it ??? 

At least be consistent with your trolling - you spent months saying we cannot go up. 

At least have the manners to say you were totally wrong before changing your tune.
