Carlisle United have made the rare decision to open their Waterworks End terrace to fans for tomorrow's game against Tranmere Rovers.

It comes amid the big response to the Blues' ticket offer which will see Brunton Park's biggest league crowd for at least 15 years.

The Waterworks End is normally closed to supporters on matchdays - but United today confirmed that home fans can stand in the terrace on Good Friday.

Tickets are available from the Blues' main ticket office in the Pioneer Stand, by telephone on 0330 094 5930 or online.

United's announcement came after they confirmed that more than 10,500 home tickets have already been snapped up for the Tranmere game.

It is part of their #10for10 offer which sees adult tickets reduced to £10 for all sections of the ground.

Carlisle are already guaranteed their biggest home league crowd since September 2008.

They could now even go past the 12,148 that attended the 2-0 home defeat to Leeds United in League One then.

Other league milestones in their sights include 12,873 for the League One play-off game against Leeds on September 20, 2008.

Before that, 16,668 attended the league meeting with Leeds earlier that season on November 3, 2007.

The Waterworks End was last open to home fans as far back as May 2009 for the 2-0 win over Millwall that sealed League One survival in front of a 9,470 crowd.

It has occasionally been open to away fans since then, such as the visit of Everton in the FA Cup in the 2015/16 season and the league visit of Oxford United the same campaign.
