Nathan Ridley, D3D4 Carlisle United Correspondent

I’ve supported Carlisle United for as long as I can remember and the club is absolutely in my blood. Travelling (mostly down) the country often to support the team or heading (up) to Brunton Park has always served up some unbelievable memories. Albeit a heavy mix of good times & bad times, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I’m currently in my 3rd season as a season ticket holder.

1.Team Supported: Carlisle United

2.First Match Attended & the Year: Stevenage 0-1 Carlisle United, Britannia Stadium, Conference Play-Off Final, 14/05/2005

3.Most Memorable Match: Hartlepool 2-3 Carlisle United 29/08/15. I don’t think you could wish for a better derby match. It had almost everything. It felt like it lasted hours. What a day!

4.Your favourite player of all time: Antony Sweeney. Not blessed with anything special other than desire and a hard-working attitude. Perfect for a fan to get behind from the terraces when the team aren’t performing well, we certainly weren’t most of his time.

5.Things you like least about modern football: The short-term ideology of most involved in the game. No one gives managers, players, systems (the list goes on), time to fully thrive.

6.Favourite flavour crisps: McCoy’s – Flame Grilled Steak
