The low-down on Carlisle Utd.16-12-2020

Carlisle had a disappointing 18th place finish in League 2 in the Covid affected 2019/20 season. This led to a new manager (Chris Beech), a raft of new player signings and a new playing system. Early signs weren’t good, as Carlisle lost their first 3 games. Since then, the club have found their feet and Read More…

Newport sit top of the table ahead of their visit to the Innocent New Lawn. They are 4 points ahead of Rovers with a game in hand.

Will The Stags have a managerial bounce?11-11-2020

Mansfield are 22nd in League 2 without a win so far this season, having drawn 7 and lost 4 of their games. But the appointment of a new manager in the last week may well improve their fortunes.

Bradford are the only professional English team to wear claret and amber, colours they have worn since they were formed in 1903 (they are the same colours as Motherwell in Scotland).
