Carlisle likely to miss out on Gilliead
Keith Curle admits he might not have the services of Alex Gilliead for the second season on the bounce as Newcastle United which owns the player at the moment doesn’t seem to intend to have him another run in the fourth division and wants him to be playing at upper standard now.
Gilliead was one of the two players whom Carlisle had landed on loan from the Magpies last year and his productivity was high enough for the head coach to want him to stay on.
But, having held talks with Newcastle on the matter, Curle has realized that they are not keen on that. Yesterday evening, he said, “On the basis of the early conversations, it looks like Newcastle has other plans for Alex and he would probably be playing in an upper League.”
Ticket-Cost reduction
The Carlisle supporters will have to spend a little bit lesser than usual to get an entry for the team’s opening match at home this summer.
The cost of the tickets has been reduced to ensure that a maximum number of supporters register their presence. “We are looking to have the spectators absolutely filling the stadium.” the Chief Executive Officer of the club was quoted as saying.
However, the reduction in the cost applies to only those tickets which are bought a day before. If you opt to buy your ticket on match day, you will have to pay the normal price.
Top Academy post to be filled up
Carlisle is in search of a worthy individual to be roped in in to take charge of the academy which doesn’t have a manager at this point.
The interview committee which contains Keith Curle as well is expected to make and announce the selection next week.
