Carlisle United are closing the East Stand and Warwick Road end to home fans for Brunton Park's only pre-season friendly.

The Blues have confirmed details for the August 3 visit of Stockport County.

The game on Saturday week comes amid major renovations of parts of Brunton Park.

While travelling fans will still be in the East Stand as normal, home fans will be in the Main Stand and Paddock.

Carlisle have also confirmed ticket prices for the game against newly-promoted League One side County.

Adults can watch the game for £15, with prices for seniors (65+) £10, and £5 for under-18s, under-14s and under-11s. Full prices are on the United website HERE

Tickets are on sale now. United announced: "Home fans will be able to purchase seating in the West Stand and terracing in the Paddock.

"The East Stand and the Warwick Road End will be closed to home supporters for this fixture, there will also be no season ticket seat reservations for this encounter.

"Away supporters will be housed in the usual section of the East Stand for travelling fans."

There is no price increase on the day of the game.

The match will be the first at Brunton Park since April, and comes at a time of major building work at the ground.

The East Stand in particular is subject to a big overhaul, with new executive boxes, lounges, classrooms, boardroom and other facilities being installed.

New fan zone areas and disabled facilities are, meanwhile, part of the ongoing Warwick Road End renovations.

Carlisle owner Tom Piatak recently said he was hopeful the work would be finished in time for the new season. United's first home game of 2024/25 is the Carabao Cup first round game against Stoke City on August 13, with their first home league game coming against Barrow on August 17.

Speaking to the News & Star in early July, Piatak said: "Hopefully it gets done [in time for the start of the season], but if it's not, we will react accordingly and plan accordingly to make sure that we can get everybody in here and then continue to work.

“We're very close, though, I will tell you."
