It's a bit of a departure from the normal Brunton Bugle fare this week, as we go international to look ahead to this summer's World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada!
The lads cover a variety of topics - from CUFC connections to past World Cups, to the former Blues representing the Three Lions at this year's tournament! We also look at England's hopes, the rest of the teams travelling to North America and a bit on our favourite World Cup memories.
There's also a quick update on any CUFC news - keep an eye out for more episodes across the summer!
Lots discussed in this episode, including:
🔵 CUFC Update
👕 CUFC WC links
🦁 England thoughts
🌎 Rest of the Teams
✨ Our WC memories

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!
You can now do this on our Ko-Fi page - ko-fi.com/bruntonbugle. Any donation is really appreciated!
