....Carlisle were the better team but Yeovil were favourites, perhaps Carlisle have had their best chance. That was Liam Walsh's first game for Yeovil on loan, funny how these things work out.

I moved to Cumbria a few years ago. Best mate round here is a Carlisle fan. Everyone probably thinks good draw but I'm not looking forward to it haha

We're going to do the double!

The hell with that, I see a treble in our future! Starts on Wednesday at the Etihad, 3-4 with two braces from Rom and Mirallas

Carlisle away April 1975 0-3.....shudders!!!! Blew league more or less.
(And for good measure we had lost 3-2 at home in December having been 2 up at half time)
That said away to lower league is always tricky but I believe in this team!!!

i'd let him play vs us if it comes to it. Would be a great learning curve for the lad to play against premier league opposition, even if it his parent club.

....nope, he's a fine footballer but he's also got a bit about him and I wouldn't want to see anybody getting hurt.

Deepdale more likely as it has around an extra five thousand seats. More seats means more money!

Think it really depends mate. If Preston are at home we aren't playing at Deepdale. Ewood a possible too.

If not, then Preston are away from home that weekend. Bigger ground, more away fans, would be handy.

They've played some games at Blackburn too. That would be boss, as we'd get at least 4500 tickets.

It'll probably be at their own ground though. It should be ready by then and they'll be busting a gut for the payday after all they've been through.
