After consecutive defeats against fellow promotion contenders, what better way for United to get back on track ahead of the FA Cup break by recording back-to-back wins against Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United - can those results kick start the Blues' campaign? Is the FA Cup an unwanted distraction? And will the club ever announce a big new signing before we record a podcast? (welcome, Chris Conn-Clarke!)

We look back on the wins over the Monkey Hangers and the Iron before looking ahead to this weekend's FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie with Boston United.

Lots discussed in this episode, including:

🐵 Hartlepool win reviewed

💪 Scunthorpe win reviewed

🚫 No Behind Enemy Lines

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!
