The new League Two season is rapidly approaching - and the bookmakers have begun to make their predictions.

With fixtures for the 2022/23 campaign released yesterday, the countdown to kick-off on July 30 is now well and truly under way.

And there is a sense of optimism at Carlisle United, with Paul Simpson's side hopeful of a better campaign after finishing 20th last time out.

The additions of Owen Moxon, Tomas Holy, Sonny Hilton and Ryan Edmondson have been well-received and have supporters dreaming of a successful season.
