Brunton Park was in buoyant spirits as Carlisle United began life under the club's new American owners.
More than 10,000 fans - many of them waving flags and foam hands - were at the ground for the first game under the Piataks, as Paul Simpson's side drew 1-1 with Charlton Athletic.
Photographers Ben Holmes and Barbara Abbott were there to capture the scenes in the stands and outside the ground - click on the image at the top of the article to check out a gallery of their pictures.
