Subscribing is the best way to ensure you don't miss a single word of our United coverage during a pivotal period after the Piataks' takeover and amid the battle for League One safety by Paul Simpson and his team.

While some of our United content remains free to read, such as live match blogs, news and pre and post-match manager comments, our coverage that goes deeper is available to our growing number of subscribers. This includes:-

BIG MATCH VERDICTS - Our regular weekend or midweek take on United games, which goes beyond the basic facts and figures and takes a more reflective look at the Blues' latest showings.

NOSTALGIA - Subscribing means you can access our weekly series marking the 50th anniversary of United's historic 1973/74 season which saw promotion to the top-flight. Plus there are our one-off nostalgia features or series, such as our recent mini-series on Blues takeoversa long read on United's eventful play-off history and flashback reviews of notable games from yesteryear.

AUDIO FEATURES - You can now listen to our regular interviews with the United manager Paul Simpson, players and other figures if you're a subscriber: what are we asking, and how are they answering? Our subscribers were also the first to hear would-be owner Tom Piatak talking about his interest in the Blues, and have since been able to listen to his family talking about their plans for the club.

BIG INTERVIEWS - When we sit down with a Blues hero from yesteryear and speak to them in depth, subscribers can read the results. Over recent years we've spoke to stars such as Stephane Pounewatchy, Paul Proudlock, Bobby Owen, Brent Hetherington, Glenn Murray and Derek Asamoah, with more in the pipeline.

ANALYSIS - When we take a closer look at a particular United game, or wider patterns concerning the Blues, our subscribers can read these more analytical articles, such as our Monday afternoon reflections on several aspects of the latest Carlisle performance.

OPINION - Most Saturdays in the News & Star bring Jon Colman's weekly Inside Brunton Park column which takes an in-depth look at a particular Blues subject - while other opinion columns are often found through various weeks too, exclusively for subscribers.
