It's been a while, and although the squad rebuild is happening a bit slower than many may have hoped, a lot of progress is being made with off-the-pitch developments over the summer.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back on what's happened over the last month or so - with plenty of chat about transfers (confirmed and rumours), pre-season fixtures, ground improvements and commercial changes.
On top of this, there's a (brief) review of last season and a bumper ex-Blues update.

Finally, United's slow and agonising drop out of League One is over, as the season comes to a close - but will they be the ones celebrating a return to the third tier in twelve months time?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back on the final day 2-0 defeat at Derby County - a good solid performance but ultimately, the Rams did just enough to edge the contest and earn their place in the Championship next season.
That's followed by a chat about the retained list, with Simmo showing a ruthless streak in his contract decisions and also admitting he's told other players they can leave - where does it leave the Blues going into the summer break?
On top of that, there's the usual Ex-Blues update.

It's official - statistically, this is United's worst ever season in terms of number of defeats. And there's still one game to go...!
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Mike Booth and Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to reflect on that 3-1 loss to Wycombe Wanderers in the last home game of the season - a miserable way to finish things off for the Blues at Brunton Park for 23/24, with plenty of discussion about some underwhelming individual performances.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip to Derby County for the final home game of the campaign - including a great chat with Jake from the excellent Rams Talk podcast about how their nerves are holding up as they look to get the point that will secure them automatic promotion.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Let's be honest - we all want the season to end now, don't we? Another miserable afternoon at Brunton Park leaves us with just two more games to get through.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the home defeat to Blackpool - not a huge amount to talk about in this game, as all the decent action occurred in the opening 60 seconds!
There's also a look ahead to the final home game of the campaign against Wycombe Wanderers this weekend - including a chat with George from the Wycombe Way podcast about how their season has gone.
On top of that, there's a news round-up - which includes updates from Tom Piatak and a robust discussion about the changes to next season's FA Cup format - and of course, the usual Ex-Blues update.

United's slow-lingering death in League One is over, as defeat at Northampton finally confirms what we've all known for a while - it's back to League Two next season.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike review the 2-0 loss at the Cobblers as relegation is confirmed for the Blues - with the game itself being pretty dire, it's more of an initial reflection on what has gone wrong this season (which we'll get more in-depth on in a later episode).
That's followed by a look back on the midweek win at Cheltenham and some of the positives to come out of that (along with thoughts on what United can get out of the remaining fixtures).
We then look ahead to the penultimate home game of the season this weekend against Blackpool - including a chat with Nick from the excellent Seasiders Podcast about how their campaign has gone.
As usual, the episode is wrapped up with the ex-Blues update.

Rinse and repeat - once again this season, United put in a good performance but follow it up with a below par effort in the next fixture!
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the Easter fixtures - with plenty of talk about Jon Mellish's hat-trick heroics in the 3-1 win at Peterborough United, followed by discussion on the defensive mistakes that cost us in the 3-1 home loss to in-form Lincoln City.
There's also a look ahead to this back-to--back away fixtures against Northampton Town and Cheltenham Town - this includes a chat with Danny from the excellent "It's All Cobblers To Me" podcast, where we chatted about how well they have coped with the step-up to League One this season.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

So near, yet so far - United miss out on their first home win since New Year's Day as Stevenage equalise with the last kick of the game - but surely there's plenty of positives to take from the performance overall?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike reflect on the 2-2 draw against Stevenage - plenty of talk about Daniel Butterworth's recent upturn in form, debate about the penalty decision and a robust discussion about Simmo's substitution policy.
We also look ahead to the Easter weekend clashes with Peterborough United and Lincoln City, including a "Behind Enemy Lines" chat with Charlie from the excellent "Stacey West" Lincoln City blog and pod, where he tells us about the interesting back story of their gaffer Michael Skubala.
Alongside those bits, there is a news round-up and the usual ex-Blues update.

There was some good news for United fans this week... the season will be ending two-and-a-half hours earlier than planned! Bad news - we might end our season with a game live on Sky Sports...
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to initially answer your questions, including one about whether we'd rather fight Jon Mellish or Harrison Neal in UFC and another about who we'd like to see the Blues sign this summer.
There's also a look ahead to the weekend clash with play-off chasing Stevenage - including a chat with Matt from the excellent Stevenage FC Podcast about their remarkable first season back in League One after promotion.

Apologies that there was no preview for the Shrewsbury game - we were unable to find a time where two of us could record ahead of the match! Instead, here's a three-game review episode for you all to "enjoy" (we use the term very loosely!).
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the three consecutive defeats against Charlton Athletic, Barnsley and Shrewsbury Town - three performances that got progressively worse over the space of seven days.
Plenty of reflection on the games and the season itself - where do United go from here, with relegation almost inevitable?

A bump back down to earth for United after they follow up the win over Burton with a defeat against Reading, extinguishing the very, very slim hopes of survival even further.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on 3-1 loss to the Royals and the reality check it provides for United's prospects - what more can Paul Simpson do to arrest the slump and get a bit of pride back into the team?
There's also a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the capital to face in-form Charlton Athletic - we speak to Louis from Charlton Live ahead of the game, discussing their three managers this season and how Macaulay Gillesphey has settled in at The Valley so far.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

The losing run is over! and we finally have a CLEAN SHEET! What kind of witchcraft is this?!
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Mike Booth and Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to reflect on the last two fixtures - a 2-1 defeat at Bristol Rovers with a slightly more encouraging performance, and a battling 1-0 win at Burton Albion. Is this an end to the rot that United have faced since New Year, or just a false dawn?
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's home clash with Reading - including a chat with Alex from the excellent Elm Park Royals podcast, as the Royals prepare for their first visit to Brunton Park since the early 1980s.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Things are going from bad to worse for United in their battle to avoid the drop - seven defeats in a row, is there any hope at all for the Blues to stay in League One next season.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back on the hugely disappointing 4-0 defeat to Cambridge United, where United's defensive fragility was exposed once again. Can Paul Simpson restore the confidence to his squad ahead of the final run-in?
There's then a look ahead to this weekend's trip south to face Bristol Rovers - we speak to Charlie from the Talking Gas Podcast about what has been an eventful season for the Gas, albeit one that has them comfortably sitting in mid-table (sounds dreamy!).
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

An improved performance from United, but a similar result, as Pompey exploit on mistake to snatch all three points. Are there positives to take from the game, or is the struggle to avoid the drop becoming too big of a task for the Blues?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on 1-0 defeat to Pompey - not many chances created, but not many conceded. We ask whether United's slight tweaks in tactics will be enough to help pull them out of the relegation zone.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's clash with fellow strugglers Cambridge United, including a chat with Jack from the excellent "Under The Abbey Stand" podcast ahead of the big game.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

It was a miserable trip to the capital for United at the weekend as they lost 3-2 at Leyton Orient - but can Paul Simpson turn things around and perform the "Great Escape" to stay in League One?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the loss to the O's - a game with very few chances for the Blues and some pretty limp defending thrown into the bargain.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's clash with table-toppers Portsmouth - this includes a chat with Andy from the excellent PO4Cast Pompey Podcast about how they are getting on this season (pretty well, it turns out).
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

The transfer window has slammed shut and there's been a fair bit of change in United's squad, but will it be enough to help drag the team away from the relegation zone?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle (recorded before Georgie Kelly and Max Kilsby's transfers were announced), Lee is joined by Mike Booth and Dan MacLennan to discuss the departures of Owen Moxon and Joe Garner, before looking back on the comprehensive defeat to Bolton Wanderers last weekend.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the capital to face in-form Leyton Orient - we speak to Paul from the Orient Outlook Podcast ahead of this one, discussing how they've adapted to life in the third tier after promotion last season and their long-term hopes for the club.
On top of that, there's the usual news round-up and an ex-Blues update.

There's no game to review from last weekend after the Cheltenham call-off, but the lads are back and they're taking on your listener questions for the first-part of this episode instead!
In this week's Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined again by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) and we answer some of your queries - from what would happen if we were relegated back to League Two and who our ideal final signing of the window would be, to the funniest thing we've heard at an away game and the former CUFC player we'd least like to be stuck in a lift with, there's plenty covered!
That is of course followed by a preview of the Bolton game, including a chat with Ryan from the Trotter Chatter podcast about their hopes for the second-half of the season and whether they can avoid the play-offs and finish top-two this season.
There's also a news update (including two new signings and the Moxon contract news) and the usual ex-Blues round-up.

DISCLAIMER - This episode was recorded on Thursday night, before we knew the Cheltenham game was postponed. The preview section has been removed as a result!
The Cheltenham game has fallen victim to the icy conditions that are currently hitting much of the country, but there's still plenty of stuff for the lads to talk about as they reflect on back-to-back defeats against two promotion contenders.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle there's lots of discussion about those losses against Oxford and Barnsley - the defeat to the U's was pretty disappointing, but was there positives to take out of a hard-working performance against the Tykes?
Alongside those bits, there is a quick news round-up where we discuss the departure of striker Ryan Edmondson.

We've been trailing this one for a little while, but finally last week we were able to fit in some time to record an interview for our latest special episode of The Brunton Bugle!
This time around we were lucky enough to speak to Alice and Tom Piatak II via a video call to Jacksonville, Flordia! There was plenty to discuss with our new owners, including how the takeover happened (including CUOSC ratching through their junk folder!), what they think can be brought over from the fan experience at American sports and some of the exciting things fans can look forward to in the near future!
Big thanks to Alice and Tom for giving up their time to speak to us and also to the club's media team for helping to set this up.
We've got some more interviews hopefully coming in the near future so keep an eye out for those!

Not content with beating them in the play-offs last season, United have gone back to Bradford City to pick up their keeper, as Simmo finally gets the new shot stopper he's been craving.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined again by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) and the main discussion point is the arrival of new first-choice stopper Harry Lewis from the Bantams for an undisclosed fee. There's chat about what Harry will bring to the squad, and also the reaction of the Bradford fans to his departure from West Yorkshire.
That's followed by a look a look back on the defeat to Exeter last time out and a look ahead to this weekend's clash with Oxford United at Brunton Park, along with the usual ex-Blues round-up.

The Christmas period is over and United end up with 4 points from a possible twelve - small signs of progress, but it's still going to be a battle to avoid an instant return to League Two this season.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike reflect on the 2-0 defeat at Wigan infront of over 4,000 travelling Blues, and the New Year's Day 2-1 home win against Port Vale. Are there a few signs that United have what it takes to avoid the drop?
And if so, will the new additions make a difference? We discuss the three first signings of the window, and the departure of loanee Luke Plange after his half season spell came to an end.
Then there's a look ahead to what will be a huge tie against Exeter City in Devon this weekend.We speak to Grecians fan Sam Parks, who give us the lowdown on why they have slumped so badly having been top at one stage in the early weeks of the season.
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

A Nightmare Before Christmas against Cheltenham, followed by a Boxing Day Stalemate on the seaside at Fleetwood - not a great few days for the Blues as they drop to the bottom of League One, but with the January transfer window set to open, are things about to get better for Simmo's boys?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined again by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to review the 1-0 home loss to Cheltenham and 1-1 draw at Fleetwood - plenty of discussion about how United drag themselves out of trouble and the on-going problems in the goalkeeper position this season.
That's followed by a look ahead to the final two fixtures of the festive period - a trip to Greater Manchester to renew rivalries with Wigan Athletic, followed by a New Year's Day clash with Port Vale at Brunton Park. We speak to Barry from the excellent Progress with Unity podcast about how the Latics are getting on this season and take a little walk down memory lane to reminisce about the great battles the two sides had in the 1990s.

Apologies if there any issues with Mike's audio on this episode - we're looking at some alternative recording solutions!
Christmas comes early to Brunton Park as the Piatak Family deliver the present Simmo wanted - a new striker!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike discuss the reportedly record-signing of striker Luke Armstrong from Harrogate Town, with plenty of chat about what kind of an impact he can have at the club. There's also some chat about the topics that were raised at this week's fans forum at Brunton Park.
The lads also look back on last weekend's 2-2 draw with Northampton Town - fair result, or were United robbed of three points by the Cobblers late equaliser?
Then there's a look ahead to the first two fixtures of the festive period - massive games against two of the Blues' relegation rivals, Cheltenham Town and Fleetwood Town.
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

Oh we don't like to be beside the seaside... yep, it was a miserable weekend on the Fylde coast for United and Paul Simpson was particularly unhappy with the behaviour of some fans after the final whistle at Bloomfield Road - did he have a point though?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined again by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the 3-0 loss to the Seasiders - lots of talk about those comments from Simmo and particularly the recent performaces of Luke Plange and how long the Blues boss can persist with him upfront. There's also a great 60 Second Review of the trip by regular contributor Jonny Atwood - not much talk about the game itself in that one!
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's clash with Northampton Town at Brunton Park - we speak to Danny from the excellent "It's All Cobblers To Me" podcast about how they've coped with life back in the third tier.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Apologies for the poor sound quality on this episode - this issue will be resolved for next week!
When is a hammering not a hammering? The scoreline at Reading certainly suggested the Blues got battered by the Royals, but were they the perpetrators of their own downfall by gifting most of the goals to the hosts?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on that 5-1 defeat at the Select Car Leasing Stadium (terrible name for a ground) and discuss how on earth United managed to lose by such a margin despite matching Reading in terms of chances.
Then there's a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the Lancashire seaside where almost 2,000 Blues will be hoping that the Illuminations aren't the only excitement they get from the day. We speak to John from the Seasiders Podcast about how they've coped after relegation last season and why getting rid of the Oyston family ownership of the club four years ago was so important to them.
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

The dawn of a new era for United as the first game under the ownership of the Piatak Family ends with a battling draw against United - but there's an overwhelmingly positive atmosphere around the ground that leaves you think the future is bright for the Blues.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Mike Booth and Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on that 1-1 draw with the Addicks - plenty of talk about the efforts on the pitch, but also how good the matchday experience was for fans off the pitch.
That's followed by a look ahead to the long midweek trip south to take on Reading, the first fixture between the two clubs in 42 years. We speak to Alex from the Elm Park Royals podcast about the on-going saga that is their ownership (makes you feel very lucky to be in our situation right now!), whether they can beat the drop and what Blues fans can expect on their first visit to the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
On top of that, there's a news round-up (including an extensive chat about the Piatak's first press conference) and the usual Ex-Blues update.

So United suffer their fourth home league defeat of the season against Bristol Rovers and then face the daunting task of keeping out the league's top marksman against Charlton Athletic this weekend... but let's be honest, that's not the main point of discussion is it???
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike unsurprisingly spend most of their time talking about this week's big breaking news - the takeover of club by the Piatak family via Castle Sports Group has been completed! It's felt like the last couple of months have taken forever but the deal is finally done and there's plenty of look forward to - there's some instant reaction to the news including 60 Second Reviews and some of your tweets. We'll be bringing more reaction on the news over the next few weeks, including hopefully an interview with the Tom and Tom II at some point!
On top of that, we briefly cover the Bristol Rovers game (wasn't much to talk about anyway!) before looking ahead to this weekend's clash with Charlton Athletic, where a big crowd is expected to celebrate the arrival of our new owners.
We also speak to Louis Mendez from the Charlton Live podcast about the ups and downs of following the Addicks over the last few decades, their change of manager this season and their memories of the three occasions where they've been promoted at Brunton Park.
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

United's inability to get a good run of form going has continued as they suffered consecutive defeats at Cambridge and Orient, dropping into the relegation zone and out of the FA Cup at the first attempt - how can Paul Simpson get United going after a stodgy start to life in League One?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined again by Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the losses against Cambridge and the O's. How can United get a bit more of potency into their attack? And how badly will Callum Guy's affect us until the January transfer window?
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's clash with Bristol Rovers at Brunton Park - are the Pirates one of the biggest disappointments so far in the division this season, considering the attacking talent they have at their disposal.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Encouraging signs for the Blues this week - an impressive performance but loss at table-toppers Portsmouth, followed by a dominant home win over in-form Burton Albion at Brunton Park - are Simmo's boys finally starting to find their feet in League One?
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Mike Booth and a second appearance for newbie Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the loss at Pompey and the win over the Brewers. Plenty of talk about the tweak in formation to 4-2-3-1, Danny Butterworth's encouraging performances and Joe Garner rolling back the years.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip south to take on Cambridge United - we speak to Jack from the Under The Abbey Stand podcast ahead of the game, with lots of talk about how they have coped with the loss of key attacking players this summer, how impressive the job their manager Mark Bonner has done and how Jack ended up supporting the U's despite originally hailing from the Great Border City!

Typical Carlisle United - very much a case of "After the Lord Mayor's Show" as they put in a drab performance and go down to a 1-0 defeat to Leyton Orient at home, after that fantastic win at Bolton Wanderers.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by new guest host Adam Tiffen (@adamtiffen18 on Twitter) to look back on the loss to the O's. There's discussion about substitutions, lack of threat on set-pieces and unfortunately, another re-opening of the goalkeeper debate!
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the south coast to face table-toppers Portsmouth. We chat to Hugh from the PO4 Cast about Pompey's excellent start to the campaign and what fans can expect in a revamped away end at Fratton Park.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

Wembley 95 and 97, Chelsea 1974, Roma 1972, Arsenal 1951... forget all those games - THIS was the greatest result in our club's history! (If you believe some...).
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan sit down to look back on a belting away day at Bolton, where the Blues picked up a routine 3-1 win against a tactically stubborn Trotters side. Plenty of topics to cover - not least, the continued impressive performances of hat-trick hero Jordan Gibson and the emergence of Sam Lavelle as a real leader in the squad.
That's followed by a chat about this weekend's clash with fellow promoted side Leyton Orient - with discussion about how they've adapted to League One and in the "Played for Both" feature, we go back to someone who featured in the first ever Carlisle United side way back in 1904!
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

It's been a while, but Dan is finally back on the pod! Not much has happened when he's been away though so won't have a lot to talk about...
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back on the last two fixtures against Wycombe Wanderers and Peterborough United. Two contrasting performances and results with plenty of talking points - including whether 4-3-3 can work for this squad, how well Jordan Gibson is doing this season and a re-opening of the first choice goalkeeper debate.
There's then a look ahead to this weekend's trip to Greater Manchester to face Bolton Wanderers, with the Blues set to be backed by 4,500 fans at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. We chat to Ryan from the "Trotter Chatter" podcast about how their season has gone so far, along with a little look back at the crazy last 20 years they've had.
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

United put in a decent performance against promotion-hopefuls Derby County at Brunton Park but still find themselves on the end of a defeat - but that's not the big talking point from the weekend!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look review the 2-0 loss to the Rams - plenty of praise for Jordan Gibson's performance, but are there questions again over the goalkeeper position?
We also look ahead to the trip south to face Wycombe Wanderers this weekend, including a chat with George who runs the Wycombe Way twitter account - including topics such as losing their long-serving gaffer Gareth Ainstworth last season, how former long-serving player Matt Bloomfield has done as his replacement and what it's like to have American owners.
Which brings us on nicely to the main topic for Blues fans right now - the Piatak/Castle Sports Group takeover of the club. We look back on the historic CUOSC members' meeting with the Piatak family at the weekend, covering the main points raised - and as we record, the result from the members vote comes in!
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

It's three unbeaten now for United as they pick up a deserved point at Lincoln - but could it have been all three if the officials had got a key penalty decision right?
In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Gregg Bulman from Boolman's Beer Reviews to discuss the 1-1 draw with the Imps - there's plenty of chat about that contentious spot-kick call, Luke Plange taking his big opportunity and whether the Blues are starting to find their feet in League One after a steady start.
That's followed by a look ahead to this weekend's big home clash with Derby County - there's a five-figure crowd expected for the visit of the former First Division champions. We speak to Vik Singh from the Rams Talk podcast about how they're finding life in League One after a turbulent few years for the club.
On top of this, there's the usual news round-up , quiz question and an ex-Blues update.

Only two shots on target... but a 2-2 draw earns United a point (undeservedly so, if you as Steve Evans) at early pace-setters Stevenage.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the game in Hertfordshire - with a lot of talk about Jokkul Andresson's excellent performance, Joe Garner's 150th career goal and a potential burgeoning partnership between Kayode and Maguire in attack.
We then look ahead to the weekend trip to Sincil Bank to take on Lincoln City - can the Blues end the Imps' five-game unbeaten run in the league? We chat with Ben from the Stacey West Podcast, with plenty of talk about Lincoln's rise from non-league football in recent seasons, how Lukas Jensen is getting on at the club and whether they can keep up that good start and challenge for a play-off place.
There's also a lengthy discussion about this week's statement from the Castle Sports Group/Piatak Family about their potential takeover of the club - is it time for United fans to start getting excited, or will that Purepay debt continue to cause issues?
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news and the usual ex-Blues section.

It's taken a while, but the Blues finally have their first three points of the season in League One!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and guest host Nick Brown look back on the 2-0 win over Shrewsbury - there's plenty of chat about Joe Garner's career milestone, a solid performance at the back from Sam Lavelle and how Morgan Feeney handled his hostile return to Brunton Park.
There's then a look ahead to this weekend's trip to Hertfordshire to take on surprise early pace-setters Stevenage - can the Blues upset the form table and get a result against Steve Evans' side?

August is over and still no win for United on their return to League One - can that change this weekend?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike preview the visit of Shrewsbury Town to Brunton Park - it's been a long time since the Blues have beaten Salop at Brunton Park in the league - can they end that run on Saturday?
We also chat with Chris from the excellent Salopcast to get the opposition view - we talked about Steve Cotterill's summer departure and the fall-out from that, Matt Taylor's appointment as boss and his start in the hotseat, and of course, how Morgan Feeney has got on since his summer move to Shropshire.

Five games down, and that first win remains elusive - performances have been solid, but is that going to be good enough to help pull us away from trouble this season?
In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike get together to review the 1-0 defeat at Port Vale, with a lot of chat about controversial team selection decisions, defensive howlers and not taking chances. Oh and a bit of chat about goats.
There's also a quick look at the remaining business United need to carry out this week as the summer transfer window comes to a close - will Simmo finally get that elusive targetman through the door?

Four games in and United are still waiting for their first win in League One - is it time to start panicking, or is their enough evidence in performances that things will get better sooner rather than later?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan discuss that loss to the Grecians - with some chat about poor refereeing decisions, wasteful finishing and whether four at the back is working or not.
There's then a look ahead to this weekend's trip to the Potteries to take on Port Vale - a side that started the season with an appalling defeat but have picked up form then. Can the Blues get all three points at Vale Park and kick start their own campaign?
On top of that, there's a news round-up and the usual Ex-Blues update.

United bounce back from a first-half dominated by the Latics to pick-up a hard-earned point at Brunton Park - could that second-half effort be enough to kick-start United's season this weekend against Exeter City?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan are on-hand to reflect on the 1-1 draw with Wigan - there's plenty of talk about how impressive the Latics were, Simmo's tweak in formation and impressive performances from Jordan Gibson and Luke Plange.
After that, there's a look ahead to this weekend's clash with the Grecians in Cumbria - can the well-run Devon side kick on to the next level, or is their reliance on producing youth players and selling them on always going to hinder making that next step?
All finished off with the usual run-down of what ex-Blues have been getting up to.

The wait goes on for a first win of the season for United in League One and while they've not been played off the park by anyone yet, the lack of goal threat remains a worry.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the narrow 1-0 loss at Oxford United - while it was a game with very limited goal-mouth action for either side, there was plenty of talking points, particularly when it comes to attack and formations - what kind of forward do the Blues need and is it maybe time to switch from the 3-5-2?
That's followed by a full look ahead to the midweek clash with Wigan Athletic, including a chat with Barry from the excellent Progress With Unity podcast - topics covered include their off the field issues in the last decade, Charlie Wyke's return from his heart issues and why a parking favour in the 90s didn't quite work out so well for Barry!
Alongside those bits, there is a round-up of the news, including some chat about the US takeover rumours, and the usual ex-Blues section.

There is three guarantees in life - death, taxes, and Carlisle United s***ing the bed against Harrogate Town.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads are back to discuss the latest failure by the Blues to beat the Sulpherites - that's 8 games against the North Yorkshire side now, with 0 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats!
There's chat about the poor performances in attack, Edmo's penalty miss and whether or not you should still be a ball boy at 19 years old.
This is followed by a look ahead to this weekend's trip down south to take on Oxford United in our first away game of the new league season - can United beat a side that many have tipped to potentially sneak into the play-offs this season?
There's also a news update and the usual run-down of what ex-Blues have been getting up to.

United's return to League One after nine years away ends in a draw and judging by the reaction of most fans, it's a point that everyone's pretty happy with!
In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by Gregg Bulman from Boolman's Beer Reviews to discuss the 1-1 draw with the Cod Army - there's plenty of talk about Moxon's brilliant free-kick, debutant Luke Plange's performance and the absence of striker Ryan Edmondson from the matchday squad, alongside the usual contribution from our 60 Second Reviewers.
There's also a brief look ahead to United's midweek trip to North Yorkshire to face Harrogate Town in the Carabao Cup - can they end their hoodoo and pick up their first ever win over the Sulpherites?

There's just four days until the new League One campaign gets underway which can mean only one thing - it's time for our Preview and Predictions episode!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mike got together to discuss all 23 of United's opponents this season in an almost two-hour long chat!
At the end of the episode, we also did our (now infamous) season predictions, if you want to know where not to put your money with the bookies this season.
Apologies if the sound quality dips at times in this episode - had countless technical issues with the recording, which we're hoping to iron out for the Fleetwood preview episode!

After a short break for a few weeks, the Brunton Bugle is back and there's plenty to talk about as United finally make their first forays into the summer transfer market.
In this episode, Dan and Lee discuss the six new arrivals (albeit, with three of them being familiar faces!) at Brunton Park since we last recorded, as well as some departures from the club and a couple of welcomed contract extensions!
There is also a round-up of some of the summer news, a quick look-back on the first two pre-season friendlies and a bumper Ex-Blues round-up.

The Bugle is back for the 2023-24 Season, but the first episode of the new season campaign begins on a sad note, after United announced that the club's Head of Academy Coaching, Dave Wilkes, had died at the age of 59 on Thursday.
In this episode, Dan and Lee begin by paying tribute to Dave's legacy at the club over the past 32 years, coaching a huge number of players in the academy - some who made it, some who didn't - as well as his brief spell as joint-manager with John Halpin in the late 90s. Rest in Peace, Dave.
There is also a round-up of some of the summer news, including the new kits launch, the release of the League One fixture list and the pre-season friendlies.
We'll be back soon with another round-up once pre-season training is underway and some signings have arrived at Brunton Park.

Yes, the end is nigh - another season has come to an end but WHAT A SEASON it has been for Carlisle United. League One baby!
The lads are back in this final episode of the Brunton Bugle this season to discuss the retained list - not too many big surprises in there, but some sad departures after great service to the club.
We also give out our End of Season Awards - with some fairly predictable but also some interesting choices in there. And then we look back at the predictions we made last summer and see how they stacked up - sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe s*** (I'm looking at you Mike).
It's all finished off with a quick Ex-Blues update and then a list of thank yous to those who have helped the pod this season.
Thank you once again for your fantastic support of the Bugle throughout the season - listener figures are continuing to rise and your comments at games are a real pleasure to hear. Here's to League One - anyone fancy a push for the Championship? UTBs!

And now you're gonna believe us...
THE BLUES ARE GOING UP! Yes, The Brunton Bugle is back for one final match review of the season and what a game it is to review! Dan, Lee and Mike are here to look back on an amazing afternoon in the sunshine in North London, as the Blues secured promotion to League One via a penalty shoot-out at Wembley Stadium.
There's plenty of your reaction in there with a bumper FIVE 60 (well, 120 in some cases) reviews of the game. We talk about each starting player's performance (apologies, but we forgot the subs because we're still very hungover), Simmo's sub decisions, the incredible atmosphere and what the day out was like (with a shout-out to the excellent Stockport County fans, very gracious in defeat).
One more episode to follow for this season later in the week when we look at the released list, review our pre-season predictions again and give out our End of Season awards. Thank you once again for your brilliant support for the pod this season - it's hugely appreciated!

Que Sera, Sera, Whatever Will Be, Will Be...
Yes, United are off to Wembley and what better way to celebrate than get all three of the Bugle lads together for the first in nearly two months to look ahead to the game!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mike preview the League Two Play-Off Final as United face Stockport County under the famous Wembley arch.
First-up, there's a look back at the season as a whole to see how we got here - plenty of chat about key moments and the signings that worked (and that didn't).
We also look back on some of our memories of past trips to Wembley in the 1990s and the 2010s, take a look at how Stockport are lining up and discuss what team we would pick for the big match.
Thanks to everyone for listening this season and we hope to bring you a celebration/victory episode (fingers crossed!) early next week! Keep an eye out for content across our social channels too this weekend. UTBs!

It's Wembley-week which means a bumper load of content for you all ahead of United's big game down in "the smoke" on Sunday!
You're already had a review of the Bradford win, we've been on the Lower League Look podcast and we've also got a big match preview episode and Twitter Space coming up on Saturday
This episode is a special stand-alone version of our regular "Behind Enemy Lines" feature, where we speak to an opposition pod/fan ahead of the game. This time we're talking once again to Russ from "The Scarf Bergara Wore" podcast for the third time this season!
We discussed Stockport's wilderness years (SIX seasons in the National League North!), their subsequent takeover and rise back into the EFL, their first season back in the league, some of the links between the teams and of course, how excited the Haters fanbase is for the big game.
Check out Russ' pod if you get the chance as there's some great content there, including a series where they took a deep-dive into their time in the National League North.

Que Sera, Sera...
Where do you even start with that one? An incredible afternoon at Brunton Park - one of the best ever?! - sees United reach Wembley Stadium in the League Two play-off final.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 3-1 win after extra-time over Bradford City (3-2 on aggregate) that saw them secure a return to Home of Football for the first time in 12 years.
Lots of talk about the character of this squad, Simmo's post-match speech, how disappointing Bradford were and of course, that incredible crowd and atmosphere.
There's a brief Loan Watch update throw-in as Max Kilsby secures promotion with Annan and a short ex-Blues round-up too. There's also details of the content we'll be putting out this week ahead of the big clash with Stockport County under the arch!

One leg down, one to go and it's still very much in the balance as to who gets to extend their season one more game and earn a trip to Wembley at the end of the month.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 1-0 defeat at Bradford in the play-off semi-final first leg - it's certainly not a downbeat discussion with a lot of talk about the positives of United's performance and how United could easily have got a draw from the game..
After that there's a look ahead to the second leg at Brunton Park this weekend - lots of chat about team selection, with one or two players giving Simmo a bit of a headache ahead of the big game.
There's also a news update, a look at Max Kilsby's goalscoring exploits in the Scottish L1 play-offs with Annan Athletic and a round-up of how Ex-Blues got in in the last week.

It was pretty much sorted anyway, but United officially secured a play-off place on the final day as they ground out a point at bogey team Sutton United.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 1-1 draw at Gander Green Lane - there's some talk about filling in the Mellish-shaped gap in defence, the Patrick dilema and some of the best stewards we've had this season.
After that there's a look ahead to the big play-off clash on Sunday night as United travel to Bradford - we look at the Bantams' dangermen, the form of the two teams going into the game and a debate over Simmo's 4-3-3/3-5-2 conundrum.
There's also a news update, a quick Loan Watch review and a round-up of how Ex-Blues got in in the last week.

So close, yet so far - United's chances of a top three finish disappear in a crazy final ten minutes at Brunton Park, so it looks like the play-offs if we're to get promoted this season.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 3-2 defeat to Salford City - with lots of talk about formations, late goals, red cards and how much stick Elliot Watt is likely to get if we face the Ammies again in the play-offs.
Also look ahead to the final game of the regular season on Monday as the Blues face Sutton United - that includes a chat with Mike from the Sutton United Talk Time On Podcast about how their second season in the EFL has gone for them.
There's also a news update (including coverage of the End of Season Awards), a quick Loan Watch and a round-up of how Ex-Blues got in in the last week.

There is only one team in Cumbria - the mighty Blues complete the double over Barrow and drink the sweet, delicious tears of Pete Wild in the process.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the 1-0 win at Holker St, where there's plenty of chat about digging in, Ben Barclay's first goal for the club, that dump of an away end and the Bluebirds boss' delusional comments after the game.
We also look ahead to another huge game this weekend as Salford City make the trip up the M6 to Brunton Park for a game where a win would guarantee United a play-off place. No opposition fan chat, but we have a good rundown of Salford's squad ahead of the big game.
Alongside this is the usual news, a Loan Watch update and the Ex-Blues Round-up.

A rare sight at Brunton Park for a while - goals galore, as United and Stockport play out a humdinger of a game in CA1 but is a point not a huge amount of use to either side in their push for automatic promotion?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on a 2-2 draw that was a brilliant advert for League Two football - lots of chat about Simmo's tactical switch, Jon Mellish scoring with his appendage and some of the best away fans we've seen at BP this season.
We also look ahead to the Cumbrian Classic/A595 Derby/just another game (delete as appropriate) as United make the trip down the coast to take on Barrow - we catch-up with Freya from BBC Radio Cumbria's excellent "Out of the Blue" CUFC and Barrow podcast about how the Bluebirds are getting on this season - with discussion about the change from following a non-league side to an EFL side, how Pete Wild's first season in-charge at Holker St has got on and the growing "rivalry" between the two sets of fans..
There's also a news update and a round-up of how Ex-Blues got in in the last week.

A goal, a goal, my kingdom for a goal... another game, another blank for United but also another clean sheet, as Simmo's boys rack up their eighth 0-0 of the season.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the goalless draw against Northampton Town, as Tomas Holy picked up a record-equalling 19th clean sheet of the campaign. There's plenty of talk about how much of a dent this puts in United's top three ambitions, and a bit of talk about how Simmo can turn things around in attack.
We also look ahead to another huge game in midweek as they face big-spending fellow promotion hopefuls Stockport County at Brunton Park. We talk to Russ from the excellent The Scarf Begara Wore podcast about what life back in the EFL after 12 years away has been like, whether they can keep up their good-form for the rest of the run-in and Paul Simpson's brief spell as Hatters boss a decade ago.
There's also a Loan Watch update, as United's youngsters out at other clubs come towards the end of their season.

United finally scored a goal! And more importantly, come out of the Easter weekend fixtures unbeaten and with two clean sheets.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on 2-0 win over Tranmere Rovers and 0-0 draw with Walsall, which leaves United just outside the automatic promotion positions. There's lots of talk about the big Brunton Park crowd, Dennis finding his shooting boots again and terrible referees, amongst other topics!
We also look ahead to what is now a huge game this weekend against second-place Northampton Town, with the Blues knowing a win would take them above the Cobblers and into the top three. We speak to Charles from the excellent "It's All Cobblers To Me" podcast about how they have bounced back from last season's promotion and play-offs heartache, the work Jon Brady has done since taking over and there's also a bit of comparing notes on injury lists!
Alongside this is the usual news, a Loan Watch update and the Ex-Blues Round-up.

It's four games without a win or a goal for United, but the lads are still confident that promotion is possible come the end of the season!
In this bumper episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the narrow 1-0 defeat at table-toppers Leyton Orient, with discussion about the lack of goals, whether it's time to change things up in midfield and the continuing rotten luck with injuries this season.
We also look ahead to two massive fixtures this Easter Weekend against Tranmere Rovers and Walsall - with a lot of chat about the bumper 12k plus crowd for the home game against Rovers. We chat to Tranmere fan Paul from the This is Tranmere podcast and Saddlers supporter Tom from the One Pod Beyond Walsall podcast ahead of the game too.
Alongside this is the usual news, a Loan Watch update and the usual Ex-Blues Round-up.

"It's Carlisle United - we never do things the easy way" - and so it shall pass, that Carlisle United did indeed show they aren't prepared to take the simple route to promotion as they make it three games without a goal in a 1-0 loss at Gillingham.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mike get together to discuss the Blues defeat and more worryingly, poor performance, in the narrow defeat in Kent - plenty of chat about whether there's been too much tweaking in attack, Simmo's switch in formation and our ability to bounce back.
There's also a look ahead to this weekend's big clash in London against table-toppers Leyton Orient - a side themselves who are stumbling over the line to promotion having originally looked like they would run away with it. We speak to Adam from the LO Down podcast about their incredible record-breaking start to the season, their slight struggles since the turn o the year and how Richie Wellens is viewed by the O's fanbase.
On top of that, there's the usual news round-up, a Loan Watch update and a run-down on what ex-Blues have been getting up to this week.

Following on from the dramatic win at Swindon, United are held to consecutive 0-0 draws - but with those games coming against fellow promotion contenders, there are plenty of positives to take from both displays.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the goalless draws against Stevenage and Bradford City - two contrasting displays that leave the Blues sitting in third place with nine games to go. One of our regular 60 Second Reviewers, Craig Robson, also give his low-down on Steve Evans' touchline antics.
We also look ahead to the long trip down to Kent to face Gillingham - unfortunately no Behind Enemy Lines this week as our Gillingham contact wasn't available, but there's plenty of chat about the huge improvement by the Gills since the turn of the year, and whether it's time to rest a couple of players after some tired looking legs were on display at Valley Parade in midweek. We also take a longer look at United's run-in and discuss where some of the key fixtures will be.
There's also a news round-up, a Loan Watch update and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

United are back up to second after seeing off FA Cup giant-killers Grimsby Town with an efficient 2-0 victory - but can they keep themselves in those automatic promotion places for the rest of the campaign?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined for the second time this season by special guest host Gregg Bulman to run through the main talking points from the win over the Mariners, including Tomas Holy's big save, Joe Garner's incredible work-rate and Simmo's comments about the nervousness of the crowd.
After that, we look ahead to long trip south to face Swindon Town this weekend. We have a chat with Rich from the Loathed Strangers podcast who discussed their change of manager mid-season, the high number of players recruited at the County Ground this campaign, and why we both love Harry McKirdy but for differing reasons!.

It's been a while, but for the first time in two months, all three Buglers are together in one episode - and it only took United scoring five away from home to make it possible!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mike get together to discuss the Blues' impressive 5-2 win at this season's basket case club Crawley Town - with plenty of chat about Joel Senior's first goal for the Blues, Omari Patrick's continued return to form and Owen Moxon inhibiting the spirit of Ricky Villa.
There's also a look ahead to this weekend's clash with FA Cup giantkillers Grimsby Town at Brunton Park - we spoke to Alex from the DN35 Podcast (before their victory over Southampton) about their incredible FA Cup run, Harry the Haddock and the job Paul Hurst has done over the last two years at Blundell Park.

A solid return to form for United as they end their three-game run without a win by beating an improving Colchester side - but can they start a new winning streak and keep the chasing pack at bay?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 1-0 victory over Colu at Brunton Park - lots of chat about Simmo's changes and the impact of full debutant and goalscorer Alfie McCalmont, Tomas Holy's safehands between the sticks, and veteran Joe Garner's battling efforts in attack.
We also look ahead to this weekend's longest trip of the season, as we had to Sussex to face Crawley Town.

Well.... where on earth do you start with that one?! A Valentine's Day Massacre for the Blues, but the lads are still looking to remain positive on the pod!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike perform an autopsy on United's 4-0 defeat to Mansfield, with plenty of discussion about why United looked so lacklustre, and whether it's time to freshen a line-up that has been so consistently picked over the last couple of months.

United may have been cheered on by over 1,000 Blues in the capital this weekend, but they couldn't quite find that killer touch against a resilient AFC Wimbledon side, leaving with a share of the points.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on their trip down to London this weekend to see United draw 0-0 with the Dons - plenty of chat of Simmo's interesting tactical change upfront, another resolute defensive performance and Mike's horrendous record watching Carlisle games within the M25 outside of Wembley finals.
We also look ahead to the midweek home clash with Mansfield Town, featuring a chat with Clive from the Mansfield Matters podcast - plenty was covered including the Danny Johnson transfer saga, overcoming last season's play-off final disappointment and whether Nigel Clough is the man to take them forward after this season.

Many things may have changed for the positive at Carlisle United in the last twelve months, but some things just stay the same... another season, another failure to beat Harrogate Town!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 1-0 defeat to the Sulphurites at Brunton Park, in which the visitors didn't have a shot on target but got all three points thanks to a moment to forget for Paul Huntington.
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip to the capital to face AFC Wimbledon in our first ever visit to the New Plough Lane stadium. We speak to George from the 9years podcast about how they're finding life back in League Two after seven years away, the big January move to Qatar for one of their academy products and what fans can expect on their first trip to the new ground.
There's also a news round-up, a Loan Watch update and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

There's only one team in Cumbria - and it's not that lot at the end of the world's longest cul-de-sac! United are flying as wins over Rochdale and Barrow propel them into the automatic promotion places.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on the 1-0 win at Spotland last weekend and the comprehensive 5-1 victory over the Bluebirds in midweek. Can United get a top-three finish... or could even a title push be a possibility?! There's plenty of talk about just how good Owen Moxon is, Jon Mellish's ridiculous engine and why the ability to rotate our strikers may just be the reason we push on for automatic promotion.
We also look ahead to this weekend's home-clash with Harrogate Town - can United end their hoodoo against the Sulpherites and pick up their first ever win over the North Yorkshire side?

The trip to Bradford may have fallen victim to the weather, but the Brunton Park faithful were kept warm in midweek by another impressive performance and three points for United.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 3-1 win over Hartlepool United, which saw the Blues move to within a point of third place Northampton Town and Kristian Dennis draw level at the top of the League Two scorer charts.
We also preview this weekend's trip to trip to Greater Manchester to face Rochdale, and the A595 derby at Brunton Park in midweek against Barrow. This include a chat with Tom from the "All Dale Aren't We" Rochdale podcast, who it's fair to say isn't optimistic about his side's chances this season..
There's also a Loan Watch update and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

The transfer gods were on our side this week - yes, we managed to record the episode AFTER the news broke of Joe Garner signing for the club for a fourth time, so there's plenty of chat about that!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the weekend victory over Newport County - a workmanlike performance but with a couple of moments of quality including a debut goal from John-Kymani Gordon!
We also preview this weekend's trip to West Yorkshire to face Bradford City and the midweek clash with Hartlepool United at Brunton Park. This includes a chat with Chris from the City Vent podcast about how the Bantams have got on this season.

After a two-week absence, United are back in action this weekend and the lads on hand to look ahead to another intriguing fixture at Brunton Park!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look ahead to this weekend's fixture against Newport County - as usual, we speak to an opposition fan as Ed from the 1921 Exiles Newport County podcast talks to us about their struggles since Mike Flynn left last season, losing two club stalwarts in January and how Ozzy Zanzala is getting on in South Wales.
With no game to review, we also opened it up to your listener questions this week on social media - there was certainly a good mix, including which away pub is our favourite, what we'd do to renovative Brunton Park if we had £3m and who would be our dream guest on the pod!
On top of all that, there's also a news round-up including Loan Watch and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

Yes, yes, we know it's taken a lot longer than planned, but FINALLY, we are able to release the last of our serious of interviews conducted at Brunton Park late last year!
Back at the start of October, prior to the home game against Crewe Alexandra, Lee was lucky enough to travel to Brunton Park to speak to four members of the playing and non-playing staff at the club as part of a series of interviews for the pod.
Following on from the chats we published previously with goalkeeper Tomáš Holý, Cumbrian midfielder Owen Moxon and top-scorer Kristian Dennis, this episode we got the chance to have a chat with a man very much deserving of the title of "Carlisle United Legend" - the one and only John Halpin!
Discussing his long and storied career with the Blues, we covered a number of topics including:
- What it was like to first move from Scotland to Cumbria back in the mid 80s
- That goal against Blackburn Rovers
- How he coped with bad injuries
- Initially taking on the Football in the Community role
- Being "joint manager" alongside David Wilkes with Michael Knighton and the Jimmy Glass game
- And returning to the club and working under Paul Simpson
Big thanks to Halpy for giving up his time to speak to us and also to Andy and Amy from the club's media team for helping to set this up.
We've got some more interviews hopefully coming in the near future so keep an eye out for those!

Almost a perfect Christmas and New Year for United, but six points out of nine and sitting nicely in 4th place in the table surely represents a good return for the Blues from the festive period?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, all three of the lads once again on the pod ready to look back at the games against Bradford City, Crewe Alexandra and Doncaster Rovers and assess United's performances in the packed Xmas schedule.
With no game to preview this weekend, we also conduct our own "Half-Term Report" as the season passes it's midpoint - with some discussion about the key games, how expectations have changed and some of the transfer business Simmo needs to carry out during the January window.
On top of that, there's the usual news round-up with transfers, new physios and the 2021/22 season accounts all covered.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, this is where as United fans we usually hit our high point before everything inevitably goes downhill in the new year... but maybe this is the year where things change?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lad are all together for the first time in a while as they prepare to look ahead to the three games played over the festive period.
There's also a review of the defeat at Northampton, where a mad five minutes cost United a chance of all three points.

The cold weather is causing havoc with the EFL fixture list and this weekend's trip to Northampton Town could be the latest to be called off by the big freeze - but despite that, we're going to preview it anyway!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the Dan and Lee look ahead to the game at Sixfields, including a chat with Danny from the excellent "It's All Cobblers To Me" podcast about how the Cobblers have bounced back from the promotion and play-off heartache last season.
There's also a review of the Sutton game from a couple of weeks ago that was recorded by Lee and Mike for the "episode that never was" - the never released Barrow preview!

It's taken a while, but we are finally releasing the third of our run of special interview episodes of The Brunton Bugle, and this time it's the man bagging all the goals for the Blues this season!
Back at the start of October, prior to the home game against Crewe Alexandra, Lee was lucky enough to travel to Brunton Park to speak to four members of the playing and non-playing staff at the club as part of a series of interviews for the pod.
Following on from the chats we published previously with goalkeeper Tomáš Holý and Cumbrian midfielder Owen Moxon, this episode we got the chance to have a chat with one of League Two's deadliest finishers this season, Kristian Dennis!
Discussing his career, Kristian covered a number of topics including:
- Working his way back up the football ranks after being released by Macclesfield
- An encounter with his Stockport County manager at Cheshire Oaks shopping centre
- Scoring against Celtic in the SPL infront of no fans during Covid
- His thoughts on Keith Millen's comments on his match fitness after signing
- And what it's been like to work under Paul Simpson
Big thanks to Kristian for giving up his time after training to speak to us and also to Andy and Amy from the club's media team for helping to set this up.
Keep an eye out for the final episode, a chat with Blues legend John Halpin, in the near future!

So close, yet so far - United throw away an FA Cup Third Round place in calamitous circumstances after a late defeat at Walsall.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads dissect that loss and some of the key talking points - Tomas Holy's error, slack defending, Simmo's post-match interview and the brawl after the final whistle. A nice quiet one really!
We also preview this weekend's clash with Sutton United at Brunton Park - including a chat with Mike from the Sutton United Talk Time On Podcast about how the U's are getting on in their second season in the EFL.

In a week where United put on a real statement performance with their 4-1 win at Salford City we ask the important questions - mainly, "What's the worst away end toilet you've ever been in?"
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike briefly lower the tone before discussing that impressive win over the Ammies, which saw United jump back into the play-off places. There's (as ever) a lot of love for Jon Mellish, some talk of how Taylor Charters has stepped up since coming into the team, and how ruthless United are with their attacking opportunities.
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip to the West Midlands to take on Walsall - United's second clash with the Saddlers in the space of a couple of weeks, as both sides battle for a place in the third round of the FA Cup and a potential money-spinning tie.
Alongside this is the usual Loan Watch and Ex-Blues Round-up.

United and Walsall play out a bore-draw at Brunton Park - but is it a point gained or two points dropped against the in-form Saddlers?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, we review that 0-0 draw (as far as you can review a game where both keepers had little to do!). There's a bit of chat about whether Jordan Gibson needs a rest, how Owen Moxon continues to impress and whether it should be Ellis or Back at right-wing back.
We also preview this weekend's clash with Salford City - where a bumper following of over 1,300 Blues will make the journey to Greater Manchester.
There's also a news round-up including Loan Watch and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

After two successive defeats in the league, United bounced back with an impressive win at fellow promotion hopefuls Tranmere last weekend, despite injuries and suspensions continuing to plague the squad.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike discuss that victory in Wirral, including Dennis' double, Stretton's impact on return and what it's like to see four Cumbrians starting for the Blues for the first time in over seven years.
We also look ahead to the return fixture against Tranmere at Brunton Park in the FA Cup this weekend and the midweek trip to Harrogate in the league. No away fan pod chat for this ep, but there's a bit of discussion about the FA Cup and what it means to us.

It's two league defeats in a row for United as they go down to a midweek-defeat at Stockport County - but is it time to panic, or for a bit of reflection on what we've achieved so far this season?
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, we review the 2-0 defeat in Cheshire as last year's National League champions run out comfortable winners - there's a couple of our 60 Second Reviews included, along with some chat about whether there's been a bit of an overreaction to the result from some Blues fans.
We also preview this weekend's clash with Tranmere Rovers - the first of a league and cup double-header against the Wirral-based side - including a bit of discussion about Dynel Simeu!

United's unbeaten run has come to an end after a controversial refereeing display but despite that defeat, there's still a feeling of positivity around the Blues.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike discuss the 3-2 home defeat to Leyton Orient, including the appalling officiating and United's fighting spirit while playing with ten men.
We also look ahead to the midweek clash at Stockport - United's first trip to Edgeley Park in 13 years. That includes a chat with Russ from the County podcast "The Scarf Bergara Wore", with plenty of chat about their non-league wilderness years, not living up to their expectations as bookies favourites so far and the many links in both squads between the clubs.

It's the second of our run of special interview episodes of The Brunton Bugle, and this time around we were lucky enough to speak to "One of our Own!"...
A few weeks ago prior to the home game against Crewe Alexandra, Lee was lucky enough to travel to Brunton Park to speak to four members of the playing and non-playing staff at the club as part of a series of interviews that will be published over the next few weeks here on the Bugle.
Following on from the chat we had last time with goalkeeper Tomáš Holý, this episode we got the chance to have a chat with the Denton Holme Pirlo himself, midfielder Owen Moxon!
Discussing his career, Owen covered a number of topics including:
- Being let go by United as a 16-year-old
- Starting his career north of the border with Queen of the South
- His time at Annan playing under United legend Peter Murphy
- How he has found life at Brunton Park since his summer move
- And his big ambitions for the Blues this season!
Big thanks to Owen for giving up his time after training to speak to us and also to Andy and Amy from the club's media team for helping to set this up.
Keep an eye out for the other interviews dropping over the next few weeks!

Another weekend, another game unbeaten for the Blues - and the Brunton Bugle is here to review the excellent away win at Hartlepool and look ahead to a mouth-watering clashing between two promotion contenders in Cumbria this weekend.
In this episode, Lee and Mike discuss the 3-1 victory over the Monkey Hangers at Victoria Park - plenty of chat about Owen "One Of Our Own" Moxon and his stellar performance, Omari Patrick getting on the scoresheet finally (and sadly then picking up an injury) and the bouncing away end.
We also look ahead to this weekend's clash between 7th and 8th at Brunton Park as Doncaster Rovers make the trip up from Yorkshire - including chat about their captain Adam Clayton and the time he spent on-loan with the Blues over a decade ago.
There's also a news round-up which features a discussion about the potential of the 3pm "TV blackout" coming to an end and the FA Cup First Round Draw next week, a quick Loan Watch round-up, and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently

First up to speak to us was United's big Czech goalie, Tomáš Holý!
Discussing his career, Tomáš covered a number of topics including:
- Growing up in the Czech Republic and the influence of his Uncle, a fellow goalkeeper
- Sharing a dressing room with the likes of Tomáš Řepka and Jiří Jarošík
- Why he made the move to England
- How impressed he's been with United's young goalkeepers

The unbeaten run continues and although a hard-thought away victory was followed by a bore-draw at Brunton Park, we're still getting excited about United's prospects this season here at the Brunton Bugle!
In this episode, Lee and Mike look back on the 2-1 victory at Grimsby Town and the 0-0 draw with Crewe Alexandra - plenty of discussion points as we reach the quarter-stage of the season with some 60 Second Reviews (including one from League Two expert Gab Sutton!) thrown in for good measure!
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip over to the North East coast to face Hartlepool United where we will renew acquaintances with former Blues boss Keith Curle. No away fan chat this week - hopefully it will return for the Doncaster game next week!

The Blues' solid start to the season continues with a 2-1 win over AFC Wimbledon and the lads are back to review the result that makes it seven unbeaten at home in the league.
Lee and Dan discuss the win over the Dons that saw a rare treat - a Callum Guy goal (as predicted last week by Dan!) and a much more regular sight, a goal for Kristian Dennis. We discuss plenty of topics, alongside our regular 60 Second Review clips from listeners.
Then there's a look ahead to the long trip to South Wales to take on Newport County this weekend - we spoke to Ian from the 1912 Exiles podcast about how County are getting on this season and whether those long-standing issues with the Rodney Parade pitch have finally been resolved!

Normal service has resumed at the Brunton Bugle and in this week's episode, we look back on the midweek stalemate at Mansfield while previewing the visit of AFC Wimbledon to Brunton Park this weekend.
First up, Lee and Dan look back on the 0-0 draw at Field Mill, where the Blues missed some guilt-edged chances to take all three points against the Stags, but the main talking point was of course Tomas Holy's impromptu DIY efforts to fix the goal net.
That's followed by a preview of the visit of the Dons to Cumbria - as part of this, we spoke to Lee from the "Wombles Had A Dream" podcast about their first season back in League One for six years and why there's a bit of an identity crisis among their supporters about the benefits of being a fan-owned club.
There's also a news round-up and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

First up, Lee and Dan look back on the 3-3 draw with Rochdale at Brunton Park, where initial thoughts were it was a good point after a poor performance, but with the number of chances created, should it have been all three?
We also look ahead to the trip to Nottinghamshire to face Mansfield Town, including a chat with Craig from the Mansfield Matters podcast about how they've bounced back from their play-off disappointment in May.
There's also a news round-up and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

United's hopes of a League Cup run are over for another season, but there's plenty of positives to take from the narrow 3-2 defeat at League One side Shrewsbury Town.
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee is joined by special guest host Gregg Bulman to run through the main talking points from that loss in Shropshire - including an encouraging debut for Jayden Harris, some appalling refereeing decisions and the worrying growing injury list.There's also another set of 60 Second Reviews and a quick round-up of the the other results in the cup.
After that, we look ahead to the visit of Swindon Town this weekend including the inevitable circus that will be Harry McKirdy's involvement. We have a chat with Rich from the Loathed Strangers podcast who discussed the enigma that is Harry McKirdy, their play-off defeat hangover, the managerial change saga they had to put up with over the summer and some underwhelming recruitment for them over the last few months.
There's also a news round-up and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

In this episode, Dan and Lee discuss the Blues' chances against the Red Devils on the opening day of the campaign, while we also catch up with Sam from the Crawley Town Supporters Alliance to discuss how things have gone for them this summer, including the crypto-business takeover of the club and the arrival of last season's League Two top scorer Dom Telford.
There's also a news round-up (recorded before Devitt's new deal and Fishburn's loan were confirmed) and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

We've been hinting at a big interview on The Brunton Bugle for a few weeks now, but we can now reveal that our special chat ahead of the new campaign is with none other than Blues boss Paul Simpson!
Lee sat down for a chat with Simmo this week to discuss a number of topics ahead of the big kick-off - from what he's learned working with the FA, his working relationship with his coaching and recruitment team, and what his view of success will be at the end of the season.
After this, Dan and Lee had a quick chat about how United are shaping up for the season - looking at the squad make-up and how United might fare in the opening fixtures.

The new season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing - it's The Brunton Bugle L2 Season Preview episode!
Dan, Lee and Mike got together for a 104 minute-long chat about all 23 of United's league opponents this season and there was plenty to talk about - from pre-season friendlies in Tenerife, to Crypto-takeovers ad shock transfers.
At the end of the episode, we also did our (now infamous) season predictions, if you want to know where not to put your money with the bookies this season.

There's just one week to go until the League Two season gets underway and United are shaping up pretty nicely! In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back on the four games played over the last couple of weeks. There's talk about new signing Fin Back, how the squad is shaping up for the start of the campaign and whether Jamie Devitt is going to get that new deal after proving his fitness...
On top of this, there is of course the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently, including a big move to Champions League football for one former United star!

Pre-season is well underway at Brunton Park and the Brunton Bugle is back to discuss the first two games for Paul Simpson's men this summer.
In this episode, Dan and Lee look back on the comfortable wins over Penrith and Kendal, with some chat about trialists, Jamie Devitt's hat-trick at Parkside Road and what areas United still need to strengthen him.
In the news section, there's some chat about the latest transfers in and out of Brunton Park and a tribute to former Blues boss Clive Middlemass, who sadly passed away this week.
On top of this, there is of course the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently, with even more former United players on the move over the last couple of weeks.

The Brunton Bugle is back for it's third season and in the first episode of the new series, there's plenty of news to pack in!
In this episode, Dan, Lee and Mikecover the news that has come out of Brunton Park over the last couple of weeks. First up, there's some chat about the new signings Holy, Hilton and Edmondson, and how they're going to fit into Simmo's new-look squad.
There's plenty of chat about the fixture list and the big clashes we're looking forward to and then we move onto the new kits... a topic that I think it's fair to say, is diving the fanbase right now!
The second-half of the show sees us go back to your list of questions - covering topics as wide as "worst CUFC game you've been to" to the merits of the Brunton Pasty ahead of it's rumoured return!
On top of this, there is of course the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently, with plenty of former players on the move of late.

After a couple of weeks off, the lads are back and with not much to discuss, we've thrown it out to the Blue Army faithful to come up with some topics for this week's show.
In this latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mikediscuss some of the recent news to come out of Brunton Park, including contract decisions, pre-season friendlies and the sad passing of two former Blues players.
There's then some discussion on some of the stronger transfer rumours to have emerged this summer, before we open the floor to your CUFC-related questions - from who our ultimate Blues penalty shoot-out line-up would be, to our favourite away days in League Two, there's plenty covered!
On top of this, there is of course the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently, including several international appearances.

It's a couple of weeks since the 2021/22 season came to a close for United so it's time for the lads to have a bit of reflection how the campaign went (in the most part, not very well).
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan, Lee and Mikereflect on the campaign as a whole, reviewing some of the key moments for the Blues, while also looking back on their predictions last summer (spoiler alert - they weren't very good!).
And with Greg Abbott now installed in the Head of Recruitment role, we take a look at some of the players we think that he should be targeting on behalf of Simmo this summer.
On top of this, there's a news round-up and as ever, there's the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on this week.

The season is over and the lads are quite frankly, glad to see the back of it. Bar the last few months, it's been a long old slog but the most important thing is, the Blues are still an EFL side!
Dan, Lee and Mike do a quick review of the final day of the season defeat at Bradford City before getting stuck into a busy-week news-wise at Brunton Park.
There's plenty of talk about the retained list, including the surprise departure of Mark Howard after he walked away with pretty much everything at the end of season awards last week, plus a look at the announcement that former Blues boss Greg Abbott is returning to the club to take on the Head of Recruitment role.
And as ever, there's the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on this week.

The end (of the season) is nigh as United complete their home fixtures with a 2-1 victory over Stevenage and get ready for the last away game where they'll be backed by over 1,800 Cumbrians in West Yorkshire.
In this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on the win over Stevenage at Brunton Park, with particular focus on an impressive debut for young defender Jack Ellis at right wing-back.
There's also a lengthy discussion ahead of the retained list being announced early next week - who should stay and who should go as Simmo begins his revamp of the Blues squad?
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip to Valley Parade to take on Mark Hughes' side - can United end the campaign on a high note and will Patrick and Gibson haunt the Bantams once again?
On top of all that, there's the latest news (including a tribute to retiring Blues legend Danny Livesey) a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on the exploits of ex-Blues have in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

The lads are back together to discuss all things United and there's a pretty big of news to digest this week - the confirmation that Paul Simpson will be staying on as Blues boss after agreeing on a new three-year contract with the club!
Dan, Lee and Mike discuss the Simmo announcement, what he might look to do on the coaching side and whether United fans need to show a little bit of patience over the next twelve months.
There's also a brief review of the Harrogate game (basically it was rubbish!) and the usual preview of the weekend fixture, as the Blues play their final home game of the season against Stevenage. We spoke to Matt from the Stevenage FC Podcast about how they've got on this season and his views on recently appointed boss Steve Evans.
On top of all that, there's a Loan Watch update, a little bit of news and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on this week.

A one-nil defeat followed by a one-nil victory over the Easter Holiday weekend was enough for United to secure their EFL status for another season and move all the focus on to getting Paul Simpson tied down on a longer deal at Brunton Park!
In the 100th episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on those two Easter fixtures against Walsall and Mansfield, taking a particularly in-depth dive into the impressive victory over the Stags on Easter Monday that secured those three points to confirm EFL status for next season.
There's also plenty of chat about whether United can convince Simpson to stay long-term after the minor miracle he has performed over the last couple of months - fingers crossed, but we've got a good feeling about it!
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip to North Yorkshire to face an injury-hit Harrogate Town side - can the Blues make it a positive end to the campaign in the final three fixtures?
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on the exploits of ex-Blues have in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

After two and a half months apart, we've finally done an episode with all three hosts on it, and it's our 99th one since launching just under two years ago!
Dan, Lee and Mike are back to look back on United's narrow defeat to promotion-chasing Exeter City at the weekend, along with some discussion about the importance of getting the manager situation resolved as soon as possible.
There's also the usual preview of the upcoming games, as the lads look ahead to the Easter Weekend clashes with Walsall and Mansfield, including a chat with Craig from the Mansfield Matters podcast about whether the Stags can sneak a top three-place in the final run-in and how Nigel Clough is viewed by the club's faithful.
On top of all that, there's a Loan Watch update, a little bit of news and the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on this week.

It's certainly never boring following Carlisle United and last weekend was no different as the Blues were involved in a barmy game of football against Tranmere Rovers!
In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Mike look back on that dramatic 2-2 draw at Prenton Park, unpacking all the incidents - from goals to cards, 22-man brawls and a pillock kicking the ball back into the stands to waste time.
There's also a preview of this weekend's visit of promotion-chasing Exeter City to Brunton Park, a run-down of how United's players out on-loan are getting on and there's the usual catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last couple of weeks.

Two very contrasting performances for the Blues this week, as a promotion chaser is dispatched with an impressive performance at Brunton Park, while a trip to face a fellow struggler ends with a tired performance and no points.
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on that impressive win over a very good Bristol Rovers side in Cumbria and the tired effort from the Blues in the defeat at Rochdale in midweek.
We also look ahead to the weekend trip to face promotion-chasing Tranmere Rovers, including a chat with Paul from the This Is Tranmere podcast about how Micky Mellon has got on in his first season back at Prenton Park and whether the club can earn a top-seven finish at the end of the campaign.
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on the exploits of ex-Blues have in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

The Cumbrian Bragging Rights Cup came back up the A595 at the weekend as United saw off Barrow and more importantly, picked up another three points to move a step closer to securing EFL football next season.
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on last weekend's success on the Furness peninsula, with plenty of chat about the state of Barrow's Holker Street ground, Kristian Dennis' reward for his hard work in recent weeks and the need to start the work in the background to secure Simmo as manager for next season.
We also look ahead to another two games including the clash of L2's form-teams at Brunton Park this weekend when Bristol Rovers make the long trip up from the southwest. Then there's our preview of the midweek trip to Rochdale, where we speak to Chaff from the RochdaleAFC.com podcast to discuss the ongoing off the pitch issues the club has faced this season.
On top of all that, there's some chat about the midweek Cumberland Cup defeat to Carlisle City (and some of the youth lads being naughty boys on social media), a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on the exploits of ex-Blues have in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

All good things must come to an end but if you'd told us a few weeks ago that Simmo would start his second reign with four straight wins then a defeat to a promotion contender, I think most fans would have bit your hand off!
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on the Northampton and Newport games - with plenty of talk about how United finally won a game in front of a big crowd at Brunton Park, and a bit of perspective about the fighting spirit the Blues showed in the narrow defeat to the Exiles a few days later.
We also look ahead to this weekend's big Cumbrian Derby against Barrow, with both sides desperate to pick up all three points in their battle for survival. For the "Behind Enemy Lines" section, we spoke to BBC Radio Cumbria's Barrow commentator Adam Johnson about how the Bluebirds have got on this season, particularly their strong ex-Blues contingent.
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

The Simmo-lution continues to full-steam ahead as United make it three wins out of three under the returning boss to bring a little bit of breathing space to work with in the battle to avoid the drop.
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee review the 2-1 win at Oldham at the weekend, discussing Morgan Feeney's dramatic injury time winner, the brilliant away support and the frankly, unnecessary and unsavoury chants towards former Blue Hallam Hope.
We also look ahead to this weekend's back-to-back home games against Northampton Town and Newport County, including a chat with Danny from the "It's All Cobblers To Me" Northampton Town podcast. We discussed the Cobblers' so-far, so-good, attempts to make an instant return to League One, how Jack Sowerby is getting on at Sixfields and the ongoing issues with their incomplete East Stand development.
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

Isn't it amazing what a couple of wins and a manager that the fans universally like can make to change the mood of a football club?
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on Simmo's first week in charge, with two wins and two clean sheets to take the Blues out of the relegation zone - although they're not totally out of the woods by any means!
We also look ahead to this weekend's massive clash with Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park, where the Blues will face up against their former boss John Sheridan. We spoke to Andy from the Boundary Park Alert System podcast about the incredible job Sheridan has done on his return to the club, as well as the on-going ownership issues they are facing.
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.

What a week! We've always said that it's never boring following Carlisle United and this week has been the ultimate proof of that!
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee take a look back on a crazy few days at Brunton Park, which began with a 3-0 defeat but ended with a fanbase euphoric at the return of a club legend.
There's not a huge amount of coverage of that loss to Swindon (sorry Robins fans), but there is a bumper-packed news section, where we dissect the latest happenings including the departures of manager Keith Millen and Director of Football David Holdsworth, and the return of Paul Simpson for his second spell in-charge of the Blues.
There's also a preview of the games against Leyton Orient and Rochdale, including the "Behind Enemy Lines" section where we spoke to Julian from "LODown" Leyton Orient podcast on what was also an eventful week for the O's, following the departure of Kenny Jackett as boss.
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week and a couple of questions for you to have a guess at.

For the first time since before Christmas, all three presenters are on this week's episode of The Brunton Bugle! There's plenty to fit in and we somehow cram the lot into just over 66 minutes!
Dan, Lee and Mike are back to discuss the final day of the January Transfer Window, as a flurry of activity down at Brunton Park saw two departures and five arrivals ahead of the window closing, including one very familiar face to Blues fans making a surprise return...
The lads assess all of these comings and goings, as well as reviewing the woeful performances in the defeats to Sutton United and Salford City over the last week, which dragged the Blues back into the battle to stay out of the bottom two.
There's also a look ahead to another Saturday-Tuesday double-header with a trip to Rochdale at the weekend before Port Vale make the midweek trip up the M6 to Cumbria. We look at both side's recent form, January transfer window activity and asses the stand-out men in their squads.
And finally, there's the usual run-down on what ex-Blues have been getting up to in the last seven days.

The unbeaten run is over and United get a good idea of how far they are off being a top side in League Two after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Forest Green Rovers at the weekend.
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee review their trip down to Forest Green Rovers at the weekend, discussing the match action and what Nailsworth is like as a day out (answer - steep, and not in the financial sense).
There's also a preview of the two upcoming fixtures against Sutton United and Salford City, as the Blues look to bounce back and move away from the relegation battle. We take a look at how those two sides have got on this season and review some of the key men in their squads.
On top of all this, there's the usual news round-up (including an update on the recent Unita Fortior announcement) and catch-up on how ex-Blues have got on in the last week.

After the excitement of the win over Bradford, it's been very much a reality check for United this week, as back-to-back draws keep the unbeaten run going, but temper some fan excitement about a top-half push.
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on those draws against Crawley Town and Hartlepool United, discussing two more impressive defensive performances and what the Blues need to do to improve their attacking fortunes.
There's also a preview of this weekend's long-trip down to face Forest Green Rovers, a game both of your hosts will be travelling down to on Saturday!

Another episode of The Brunton Bugle, another defeat for Lee and Mike to look back on this! This time it's the 2-0 loss to Harrogate at Brunton Park which leaves United firmly in the bottom two, having set a new club record of five league games without a goal.

In a slight change to our usual style of a regular episode, this weekend the lads travelled down to the south coast to see United take on high-flying Exeter City. Along the way, they recorded some bits of chat as well as crowd noises of the key moments in the game to bring you a bit of a taste of the atmosphere at St James Park.
Alongside the chat about the game, there's plenty of discussion about our favourite and least favourite away days, watching some idiot try and get into a multi-story car park with little success and we ponder how a poo ended up on the top step of the away terrace. There's some slightly fruitier language than usual in this episode due to the crowd noise - pretty much impossible to edit out so hope this doesn't put you off!
There's no preview for the midweek home game with Harrogate this week but we'll be back later in the week to look ahead to the Walsall game.

- A look at some of the players who played for both clubs
- And the usual run-down of how the opposition has got on this season.

Lee and Mike are back this week, and the talk is very much about the hunt for Chris Beech's replacement in the Brunton Park hot-seat!
The lads review the latest update on the manager hunt including David Holdsworth's comments to the media, and there's a brief look back at United's miserable 3-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers last weekend.
We also look ahead to United's tough clash with Tranmere Rovers at Brunton Park this weekend, including the usual opposition pod view, classic match, played for both clubs and run down on how the Super White Army have got on so far this campaign.
As well as this, there's the usual news round-up and catch-up on what ex-Blues have been getting up to this week!

We did warn on last week's podcast that a heavy defeat for either manager at the weekend it could be time up for them and it proved to be the case, as United's 3-0 defeat brought Chris Beech's 23-month reign as Blues boss to the end.
In this special episode, we bring you some instant reaction to Beech's departure - we look at where it went wrong for him, some of the challenges he faced in his time in charge and some of the highlights of his tenure.
We also take a look at the types of manager United could go for to replace Beech and some of the early names in the running for the job.
We'll be back later in the week with a more in-depth reaction to the Bristol Rovers game and a further update on the manager search!

It's now one win in eight for the Blues as they sink further down the table - can Chris Beech turn things around or is it only a matter of time before he gets his P45?
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 2-0 defeat against Forest Green Rovers at Brunton Park - an improved performance on the Sutton defeat, but still not good enough.
There's also a preview of this weekend's trip to the southwest to take on fellow strugglers Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium. This includes:
- A chat with Tom from the GasCast about how Rovers are getting on in their first season back in L2 for five years, including some discussion about the popularity of their boss Joey Barton
- A classic match from the last time the two sides met almost five years ago!
- A look at some of the players who played for both clubs
- And the usual run-down of how the opposition have got on this season.

There's a lot to talk about in this week's episode of the Brunton Bugle - not least who on earth is buying CUFC bathmats in Walthamstow market??
Lee and Mike are back to review the trip dow to Sutton (spoiler - it didn't go well). There's a lot of talk about whether United can bounce back from the heavy defeat at Gander Green Lane and whether it's time for big changes to the starting XI.
There's also the usual match preview - this week we talk to the guys from the excellent "Heaven's Devils" Forest Green Rovers podcast from all the way in the US of A! Can United bounce back against the table toppers or could it be time to say "tara" to the boss?

It's a slightly different episode of the Brunton Bugle this week - as Lee is on holiday, we've not been able to record an episode in the normal way, but we've managed to get something together for you to listen to!
First up, Lee and Dan review the Scunthorpe game just half-an-hour or so after the final whistle - another abject performance but a dramatic way to rescue a point against a poor side. Lots of big questions discussed in this one - can Beech turn things around and get us on a winning run?
The second half features a longer than usual chat with an opposition fan - this time we speak to Dan from the Gandermonium blog about all things Sutton, including their history, rise to the EFL, the big money being spent in the National League, ripping up their 3G pitch after promotion, the ex-Blues in their squad and a bit of advice for any fans travelling to Gander Green Lane this weekend. Big thanks to Dan for giving up so much of his time!
We'll be back with a regular episode for next week's game - thanks for listening!

After an enforced absence due to laptop issues, the Brunton Bugle is back and we've a lot to pack into this week's episode!
First up, Lee and Mike take a look back at the last two games, where United put in contrasting performances (and got different results) against Salford and Crawley. Is it time to ditch the direct football? How do we fit Zach Clough into the team? Should Beech consider breaking up his favourite midfield three? All this and more is discussed.
As well as that, there's a look ahead to this weekend's game where struggling Scunthorpe make the trip up to Brunton Park, with a Thorpey super sub performance getting the classic match treatment and there's a big question about whether the "played for both" player holds a club record or not!

With United's unbeaten start to the season now over and another member of last season's first-choice defence having left the club this week, this week's episode ponders what United's hopes are ahead of a big run of games in September.
First up, the lads take a look back at the transfer window and discuss whether United's squad is weaker than this time last season and whether the buck stops with our Director of Football for the recruitment issues this season.
Mike gives his low-down on the Hartlepool game and United's abject efforts in that match. Then there's the usual preview of the Salford game this weekend, alongside the ex-Blues round-up.
There's also a lovely David Holdsworth impression by Mike - keep an ear out for it!

Another home game, another point - but the unbeaten start continues. Can United continue that and also pick up all three points on the North East coast this weekend?
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the 1-1 draw with Orient, as United once again looked solid at the back for most of the game, but a little toothless in attack - is it time to switch-up the starting XI after four consecutive games without a change?
There's also a preview of this weekend's trip across to renew pleasantries with our old friends at Hartlepool United after their return to the EFL. This includes:
- A chat with Pools fan Jordan Richardson on what it's like to finally be back in the league and how well manager Dave Challinor has done since taking charge
- A classic, record-breaking match from the 1928/29 season!
- A look at some of the players who played for both clubs
- And the usual run-down of how the opposition have got on this season.

It's time for another one of our special feature episodes and this is one we've been sitting on for a while!
Back in the summer, we recorded the first of our "CUFC XI" episodes and this one sees Dan run Lee through who would feature in his all-time XI for the Blues! There are a few surprise names in there, including an Irish international goalkeeper (not the one you're thinking of!), a goalscoring centre-back who became a car salesman, a box-to-box midfielder who is enjoying a decent life running a football academy in the USA now and an 80s goalscorer who now lives around the corner from Dan!
We'll be doing a few more of these in the future, with Lee's own XI coming soon. Give us your thoughts on Dan's XI via the usual social media channels!

All we are saying, is give us a goal!
In the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, our hosts are taking a look back on the midweek draw with Port Vale as United once again played out a stalemate for the second time in three games. There's some audio and crowd noise from the game itself, with a special guest appearance from friend of the show Gregg Bulman!
There's also a preview of the Leyton Orient home game this weekend, where we have a chat with the guys from the LO Down Leyton Orient podcast about how their season has gone so far and we then take a look back at a classic game against the O's from 2002 and focus on the players who played for both clubs!
Alongside all this, there's the usual features including news and an ex-Blues update.

The Blues have finally got the first win on the board and are now looking to make it three games unbeaten at the start of the season as they travel down the M6 to face Port Vale this midweek!
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the weekend win over Swindon Town, discussing Joe Riley's brilliant goal and Tristran Abrahams opening his account for the Blues, as well as whether switching to three at the back late on in games is a wise move.
There's also a preview of the midweek trip to Port Vale, including a classic match, a look at some of the players who played for both clubs and looking at how Vale have fared so far this season going into the game.
To help us find out more, we spoke to Jonny from the Ale and The Vale podcast to discuss a number of topics, including Vale's summer rebuild, their move to the Director of Football model and how the club's owners have got on since taking over a couple of years.

Two games down, another 46 (at least!) to go!
On this episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back at the opening two fixtures of the campaign against Colchester United and Sheffield United and discuss whether United need to strengthen in attack and the first signs of a promising defensive partnership.
We also catch-up with Rich from the "Loathed Strangers" Swindon Town podcast to discuss what has been a crazy summer at The County Ground and there's a preview of the trip to Wiltshire to face the Robins this weekend.
On top of this, we discuss Aaron Hayden's departure to moneybags Wrexham and take a look at what ex-Blues have been getting up to this week.

Following on from the league opener at the weekend, the Brunton Bugle is back to preview the midweek cup trip to Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup!
In this episode, Lee and Mike look ahead to the game, discussing a classic encounter with the Blades, players who have played for both clubs and whether both managers might look to make changes for the first cup tie of the campaign.
On top of that, there's a chat with Ben from BladesPod, who talks about the rollercoaster recent seasons at Bramall Lane and how a disrupted pre-season schedule means this game takes on a bit more meaning than it might have done.
There's no review of the Colchester game or news section - those will be coming in the Swindon preview later this week!

Lee and Dan return to give you a preview of the opening fixture against Colchester United - the CUFC derby! Who will start in goal? Will Jon Mellish find himself on the bench for the opening clash? What formation will Beech go with? And will there be a surprise youngster featuring in attack?
We also catch-up with the guys from the Views on the U's podcast to talk about their expectations for Colchester this season and then there's the usual news and a round-up of what ex-Blues have been getting up to.

It's almost upon us! We're just a few days away from the start of the new League Two campaign and that can only mean one thing - it's our Season Preview episode!
In this episode, the lads take a look at all 24 sides taking part in the fourth tier this season, with a rundown on managers, transfers, squad make-ups and any shambolic off the field behaviour (we're looking at you Rochdale and Swindon) that has taken place over the summer!
As ever, there's our (mostly dreadful) predictions as well - let us know what yours would have been!

With the fixture lists for the 21/22 season now published, Dan and Lee take a look at some of the key games across the campaign, and look forward to some decent away trips for the Blues!
There's also a news round-up including the new home and away kits, players coming and going at Brunton Park and some wholly underwhelming pre-season fixtures. And of course, there is the usual round-up of what ex-Blues have been getting up to since our last episode.

We may be in our close season break but we're still going to be bringing you some special episodes over the next few weeks and the latest of these sees Lee sit down for a chat with Geoff from Fox Analytics FC to talk about United's 20-21 season from an Analytics viewpoint.
From Jon Mellish's goals to Josh Kayode's aerial challenges and expected goals for and against trends over the last two seasons to the quality of United's shots, there was plenty covered in this episode!
You can read more on Geoff's excellent writing about United from an analytics viewpoint on his website at foxanalyticsfc.co.uk and by following him on Twitter - @f_analytics
So long, farewell, goodbye auf wiedersehen marras! Yes, sadly it's the final (and 50th!) regular episode of the 2020/21 season - it's been quite the slog but The Brunton Bugle has been there with you pretty much every week from the start!
In this final show of the campaign, Dan and Lee cover the latest news, look back at this week's fans forum (and some of the interesting revelations to come from that), have a nosy through the L1 and L2 released lists for some potential summer targets and review how United's squad performed this season. Along with that, there's the usual ex-Blues round-up.
Thank you to everyone who has listened and contributed to the show over the last year, it's been brilliant to have you all involved. We're now going to take a short break from the regular episodes until the start of July when the pre-season friendlies begin in earnest. In the meantime, there will be some of our special episodes out, as well as a mini-episode on Fixture Release Day, where we'll be having a competition to guess the first fixture via our social media channels!

It's been a long old slog but the 2020/21 season is finally over!
In this latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lads look back on the final day clash with Walsall - a dour 0-0 draw that will not live long in the memory it's fair to say!
There's also plenty of chat about the Blues' retained list, our End of Season awards and the latest news and ex-Blues update.

The end of what seems to have been an exhausting, jam-packed season is upon us and United are pretty much guaranteed a 10th place finish after a disrupted second-half of the campaign.
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan take a look back at a bizarre game against Leyton Orient last weekend, where the Blues ran out 3-2 winners but neither of us felt particularly satisfied about it!
There's also a look ahead to a dead-rubber final fixture against a frankly dreadful Walsall side, as the Blues bring the curtain down on the 20/21 season at Brunton Park.
In the news section we discuss more contract news and the 19/20 financial results. On top of that, there's the usual round-up of what ex-Blues have been up to and we discuss some of your listener question answers about how the club can improve the fan experience at Brunton Park next season!

So barring an unbelievable set of results, United's season is over as two draws in a week leave them with a feeling of so near, yet so far, in the chase for a play-off place.
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan look back at two contrasting 1-1 draws against Harrogate and Cheltenham, and discuss the merits of a surprise tactical change in the latter game by boss Chris Beech.
There's also a look ahead to an effective dead-rubber against fellow mid-table side Leyton Orient in London, where we chat with Julien from the LODown podcast about how their season has got on and their hopes for next season.
In the news section we discuss more contract news, the Reserves cup final defeat and David Holdsworth finally speaking for the first time in months. On top of that, there's the usual round-up of what ex-Blues have been up to and a listener question for next week's show - we want to know what improvements you want to see in the fan experience at Brunton Park ahead of the return of fans next season - send them in to the usual places!

We're into the final straight of the regular season and by some miracle, United are still just about clinging onto the chance of a play-off place this season - but it's going to take something very special if they are to finish in the top seven.
On the latest episode of The Brunton Bugle, Lee and Dan take a look back at last week's games against Port Vale and Bolton Wanderers - admittedly, there's very little chat about the drab 0-0 with the Valiants but the clash with the Trotters created plenty of chat as United played well against but were wasteful with chances created.
There's also a look ahead to two massive games against Harrogate Town and Cheltenham Town, where it's now or never for a play-off push. We also take a gander at who the other five teams above us vying for 6th and 7th place have got in their remaining fixtures.
In the news section we discuss the latest contract news (note - we recorded after Hayden and Alessandra's one-year triggers were announced) and there's the usual round-up of what ex-Blues have been up to.

It's the latest of our special episode of The Brunton Bugle and this time, we're looking into the history of United's home kits!

Some of the topics covered include:
- Our all-time favourite and worst home kits
- The shockers voted for in a fans poll in the 1990s

It's time for another one of our special episodes of The Brunton Bugle and on this occasion, we've been lucky enough to get an interview with a member of the current United playing squad - George Tanner!

- What it was like to be called us as an England youth international,
- How he found his loan spells at Morecambe and Salford,
- What convinced him to move to United last summer,
- And whether or not he's any good at Fortnite!

It's time for another one of our Brunton Bugle special episodes, and this time it's an interview!
Lee recently sat down with Jon Colman, Carlisle United reporter for the News & Star and Cumberland News to discuss his brand new book, "Bolts from the Blues", telling the story of 40 memorable CUFC goals from the last 50 years.
Jon provides some insight into how he decided on the 40 goals and what it was like to sit down and chat with the men responsible for them to find out their memories of the strikes as well as some interesting tales of their times at Brunton Park and after leaving the club.
