Our United Day Out

Carrie and myself recently had a great day out at the Carlisle United match versus Stockport County.

Some other guests who all come from farming backgrounds from the Silloth and Wigton area joined us on the day and most of them had not been to a football match for many years.

The day started at 12:30 when Carrie and a few of the guests went on a tour of the ground. As the photo shows, they really enjoyed seeing what goes on behind the scenes and even got to have their pictures taken in the boot room.

Myself and the rest of the guests headed straight for Foxys restaurant where the bar was open to enjoy pre match drinks. This was coke in my case since I was doing most of the chauffeuring.

Once we all regrouped we sat down for a carvery dinner which was great and went down really well with everyone.

After the dinner we got our tickets and went out to the stand to prepare for the match. The first half wasn't very exciting with neither team really having a chance so at half time the score remained 0-0. During half time we went back inside for half time drinks and cheese and biscuits.

Both teams had a few more chances in the second half and provided a bit more entertainment however neither managed to get the break though goal and the score ended up 0-0.

After the match we had another drink or two and the day ended with everyone commenting on how much they had enjoyed it.
