Gateshead (A) and Morecambe (H) Reviews and Wealdstone (H) Preview - Clean sweep over Christmas for the Blues - Season 25/26, Episode 27

Two wins, two clean sheets, four goal scored and six points picked up over the Christmas week... and yet, there's still a level of disquiet at performances amongst the support. Is picking up two points a game on average enough, or is entertaining the crowd just as important this season?

We look back on the wins over Gateshead and Morecambe, before previewing the first fixture of 2026 as Wealdstone make their first ever trip to Brunton Park.

We’re delighted to confirm that the Carlisle United Supporters Trust (CUST) will be sponsoring the Brunton Bugle once again this season.

CUST, formed originally in 2001 as CCUIST and later known as CUOSC, is the supporters' trust for Carlisle United. They are a community benefit society, with a one member-one vote democratic structure. They currently have 10% voting control of the club's holding company CUFC Holdings Ltd and are members of the Football Supporters' Association (FSA).

You can find out more about the Supporters Trust and how to join on their website www.cust.org.uk, or you can contact them on X at @CUFCTrust

As part of this sponsorship, we’ll be working closely with the Trust to provide some additional content this season – keep an eye out for these episodes soon!

-----------------

We've had a few people asking how they can contribute financially towards the pod over the last few seasons - we do this podcast because we love our club and are happy to do it for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution that can help towards hosting, online studio or equipment costs, we would be extremely grateful.

It would go a long way to help us keep providing content for the Blues fanbase across the world for the 2024-25 season!
