Carlisle Police have told the public to 'have fun' but 'stay within your limits' ahead of the first Cumbrian derby of the season. 

Carlisle United kick off against Barrow at 12:30pm at Brunton Park to meet for the first time since the Blues' relegation back to League 2. 

A rivalry has built up between the two clubs and police have told fans to 'treat everyone with respect'.

In a social media post, Carlisle Police said: "We want everyone to enjoy the match no matter what the result.

"If you're out with friends, look out for each other and treat everyone with respect.

"Have fun, stay within your limits, and keep safe." 

Police officers are already patrolling the city centre to ensure that everybody remains safe. 

Carlisle will want to give their season a boost after a disappointing first game of the season last week against Gillingham.
