Special Feature- Carlisle United, Brunton Park
Brunton Park, Home of Carlisle United
Brunton Park has been the home of Carlisle United FC since 1909 and has seen top flight football as well as non-league action. The ground is seen by many as one of the best tranditional stadiums remaining in the country and has many features such as the floodlight pilons and the roof of the Warwick Road End.
The stadium was flooded in January 2005 and since then the club has made some massive improvements such as a new club shop, player statue as well as swapping over the location of the training pitch and car park.
