Carlisle United submit plans to council for Brunton Park developments

The plans, which were submitted on Friday, January 19, cover both the Andrew Jenkins Stand and Warwick Road End. 

The ideas were first outlined at the December 2023 Fans' Forum with the Piatak Family committing to making the plans public and allowing supporters to give their feedback.

Speaking on the club's website, Carlisle United's chief executive Nigel Clibbens said: "Under the new ownership, we are ambitious to develop and improve Brunton Park – for everyone.

"That is for the players, fans, commercial supporters, and visiting guests on a match-day or community users on a non-matchday, as well as staff working here.

"It is for the long-term future benefit of the club and community and shows the commitment to Brunton Park in building something to be proud of.

"We need to improve the viability and sustainability of the club - by growing income and making the best use we can of the stadium – every day. That needs investment and improvement. It will be a long journey, but it’s started already as fans can see in other areas on the West side.

"Our current hospitality is at capacity already and sold out for the rest of the season. Other aspects, like the Warwick, are in desperate need of upgrading, whilst the East stand has huge, unfulfilled potential. 

"We welcome any feedback. This will be a fantastic leap forward for the club. The vision and ambition and finance are all there. It is early days in the process, but demonstrates how the club is already progressing."
