Carlisle United have submitted plans to make improvements to Brunton Park.

They cover both the Andrew Jenkins Stand and the Warwick Road End.

The ideas were first outlined at Fans’ Forum last month, not long after the takeover by the new owners was completed.

At the Fans’ Forum, the Piatak Family committed to making the plans public on the website and to giving fans the opportunity to comment and feedback.

The club say whilst the project is in its early stages, it's very significant.

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 all there. Its early days in the process, but demonstrates how the club is already progressing.”
