A scheme which has given tens of thousands of youngsters free tickets to watch and support Carlisle United has celebrated its 20th anniversary.
The Cumberland’s Community Ticket Scheme has given more than 30,000 tickets to children to see a home match at Brunton Park over the past 20 seasons.
The scheme provides up to 200 free tickets to primary schools, community groups and junior football teams for every home game.
Children in attendance for the anniversary celebrations on Saturday were provided with a host of activities and challenges including a mock press conference, penalty shootout and table football, as well as handing out goodie bags.
Cumberland CEO, Stuart Miller said: “The football club is such a big part, not just of the city, but of Cumbria itself, so it just feels right.”
