Which stand are we in?
We’re located in section two and three of the Andrew Jenkins Stand on one side of the ground.
How do I get to the ground?
The post code for the ground is CA1 1LL. Take junction 43 off the M6 and take the first exit at the roundabout. You can see the roof of a stand almost immediately so stay on the A69, passing through three sets of traffic lights. The ground is on the right.
Car parking information:
Parking is available at the ground, costing £5 (cash only). Cars are held post–game for a short time while supporters clear the area. There is some local street parking but please watch out for any restrictions and yellow lines. Parking for blue badge holders is free and located at the away end of the stadium. Spaces are limited and are on a first come, first served basis.
Public transport information:
Carlisle station is the nearest to the ground and around a 20-minute walk away. Cross the road outside of the station, Walk down Warwick Road for around a mile and you’ll reach the ground. There is also a taxi rank if you don’t fancy the 20-minute walk.
Pubs for away fans:
For those travelling via train, there is the Griffin next to the train station (CA1 1QY), which is a 20-minute walk to the ground. Another option is The William Rufus, Wetherspoons (CA1 1QS), also a 20-minute walk to the ground. A five-minute walk from the ground is Carlisle Rugby Club (CA1 1LW) which welcomes away supporters. There is also a fanzone at the ground which will be serving alcohol (contactless payments only). There are also a number of food outlets in the fanzone, which accept both cash & card. The west side of the stadium has a chippie van and burger outlet as well as a bar. Plenty of other eating outlets are located on Warwick Road.
Food and drink in the ground:
Hot food and hot & cold drinks are available in the ground. Alcohol is served in the away end – sales will end 15 minutes into the second half. The concourse kiosks are cashless.
Can I get a programme?
Unfortunately, Carlisle no longer produce a programme.
