Carlisle United are set to instal a new big screen this week ready to show Euro 2024 in Brunton Park’s fanzone.

The Blues want their ground to be a hub for supporters during this summer’s tournament in Germany.

United plan to show England and Scotland’s group games with further screening sessions during the knockout stages.

The big screen will be situated in the main west side fan zone at the ground with United having recently been setting up the framework for its installation.

Blues chief executive Nigel Clibbens said it is hoped plenty of fans will watch the Euros at Brunton Park and make it a memorable summer.

“We’ve got the big screen ready, that should be installed [this] week, ready for the Euros,” said the director.

“It is going to be a whopper of a screen, and it's going to really be fantastic.

“We know how busy the fan zone gets, and to imagine fans watching England there – it’s going to be great.

“These are community events, so we're really excited about that.

“We’re looking at England and Scotland games, and then we'll see how we go towards the end of the tournament.

“It’s going to be new for us, and these are all commercial opportunities as well. It's great to get fans to be involved in the club, because we've seen that, when England do well, these fan zones and events have done well and can be real events to be part of.

“It’s something brand new, and we hope that the fans support it, and think, ‘Right, I'm going to go and watch England out in the sunshine on an evening at Brunton Park on the big screen, have a few beers, have a great cheer’ – brilliant.

“It makes it all a hub and attracts people here, it gets us to do things away from just being a 23-game-a-season venue.”

More details about United’s Euro events at the ground will be confirmed in due course. Scotland's first group game is against hosts Germany on June 14 with England's first game against Serbia on June 16.

Clibbens said the enhanced fan zone was part of the drive by the club’s owners, the Piataks, to upgrade Brunton Park on many levels.

“One of the things that the ownership's been really strong on is that they want to make improvements for everybody, so it's not just on the field,” he said.

“It has to be all in parallel. So [their thinking is] we’ll invest on the field, we'll invest off the field, we'll invest for fans, we'll invest for businesses, we'll invest for other users of the site, we'll do things for the players, we'll do things so that everybody can see that they're getting a gain, an improvement in the way that they are and that this club looks after them.

“Everybody gets something, and I think that's really good. That then extends to wanting to make a difference for the community as well and investing in the community.”
