ECFC v CUFC - Prediction Thread

[Jason H]

0-9, and a shot cleared off the line in the 96th minute (by Reuben Reid) to preserve our status as having the home tie second...

I've no idea how reliable this is but i read elsewhere that up to last Friday Carlisle had sold about 300 tickets and they were hoping to get to about 700.

This piece in the Carlisle newspaper is well written and fair minded.

Not that bothered about the result, in a way would be better to lose than win, at least we'd know who we're playing in the semis and Carlisle would be a team I think we could beat. Expect an experimental Exeter team whilst Carlisle will put out their best team as they need a win. A relaxed City team to go two up, McAlinden and Holmes, Carlisle to score three and win.

6500 attaendance.

3-1 with Watkins blazing over on 90 + 5 ala Cheltenham to deny RHK another winning bet...

Hopefully there won't be the same level of transport chaos as the last time this happened but the Countess Wear bridge is again being shut to traffic this w/e.
The 39 bus route in from Newton Abbot will again feature a trip up the M5 past the Chiefs ground and then back down the link road to the Shell filling station to re-join Topsham Road and into town.
I asked them why they couldn't just follow the same route in as the Park and Ride from Matford rather than taking this unecessary scenic route but no credible answer!

Carlisle have sold 574 tickets at close of play.
