Carlisle have just found out who they will play against in the Pizza Trophy next season. I donât think anyone cares though.
OK, we got Barrow and Fleetwood Town. Now, if the organisers would just forget including about the Premier League academy teams on Thursday then people might start caring again.
Also on Thursday is the League Cup draw and Carlisleâs new strip will be revealed.

No matter how well trained and experienced you are, water is not a natural environment for humans. Back in the day, we had a young age group swimmer drown during a race because people were not paying attention and no one noticed that she had not come up. I have seen articles making fun of lifeguards at Olympic swimming events as âuseless jobs.â Maybe not, eh?

The regulation sets out that players with the gender status of âdiverseâ or ânot specified,â or players who have had their gender reassigned, can decide for themselves in the future whether they should be granted the right to play for a womenâs or menâs team. This also applies to transgender players, who can now switch teams at their own discretion, or remain in the team in which they currently play for. As long as the playerâs health is not affected by playing sports while taking medication, they can continue to participate in the sport. Under the new regulation, this would not be considered as doping.

Itâs been a busy few days at Brunton Park
We start the season at home against Crypto FC then go to Colchester the next weekend, play at Shrewsbury in the EFL cup, and have home games against Bradford City on Boxing Day and Tranmere Rovers on Good Friday
Is that everything?
We arenât even going to have the slight possibility of Dean Henderson coming back to Brunton Park to attract a crowd and make things interesting.

I have avoided talking about the problems with the current board, but Andrew Jenkins is looking to sell the club before he dies as part of the ongoing succession talks (He is in his late 80s and has been on the board since the 1950s). Still, I would rather have obscurity in the lower leagues than have the club bought by some oligarch or Red Bull. Keeping the fans minor stake in the club (25%) is also important.
There have been a few friendly games in the last week too
These are warmup games against 9th tier teams, but hopefully it is a sign that our goalscoring problems are over. over 1000 people at Penrith is good for the home team too.
They are playing Workington at the weekend (8th tier, but would have been 7th if it wasnât for Covid), and there are plans to have a celebration of Clive Middlemassâs life and achievements with both teams.

Some good news:
His brother Chris is the GM for the Miami Dolphins.
The Griers are in rare air as one of the few â if any â brother combinations to hold GM roles for teams in different American professional sports leagues. They are the first Black brothers to be GMs of pro teams.
Some sad news:
Mike Grier just brought me to tears during the NHL draft when he spoke about the unexpected death of former player/current Sharksâ scout Bryan Marchment.

Itâs the old quandary. As soon as a small club is successful, they get bought out or pieced apart. The Moneyball Oakland As are a classic example.

This isnât about success though, its about potential.
Carlisle havenât had anything that could be called success since 2011, and the Pizza Trophy is not an important cup (although Carlisle are the second most successful team in the tournament). I also canât see Carlisle becoming more than an established Championship team (like they were between the mid 1960s to 1980s). The local area doesnât have enough people to have a large fan base needed for long term Premier League survival, even though the nearest English rivals are 60 miles away. Maybe they could gain fans by trying to be a second team for Scottish football fans?
At least we donât have to worry about someone moving the club somewhere else. Milton Keynes are still hated 20 years after having taken their club from Wimbledon, and the FA are unlikely to allow that to happen again.
