Appearances, goals, players, fans and "billionaires" - all the key statistics from the Blues' 2016/17 campaign

0 - There was only a single goalless draw in the entire United campaign: at home to Luton on Tuesday, March 14.

0 - The number of times United's white third strip, launched last summer, was worn in first-team games.

2 - Two players - Derek Asamoah and Alex McQueen - rejoined Carlisle during the season, but both left again before it had ended.

6 - United's record for a player scoring in consecutive appearances was equalled when captain Danny Grainger converted a penalty against Fleetwood in the Checkatrade Trophy. He had already notched against Blackburn's Under-21s, Morecambe, Hartlepool, Stevenage, and St Albans.

7 - One of several club records set during the season was a seven-game run without scoring. United went 701 blank minutes, failing to find the net against Portsmouth, Cheltenham, Plymouth, Cambridge, Luton, Mansfield and Crewe before John O'Sullivan headed home against Yeovil.

7 - For the second season in a row, Carlisle were League Two's best side at picking up points from losing positions. On seven occasions they came from behind to win games. Promoted Doncaster were next with five such victories.

8 - United only managed eight clean sheets from their 56 games in all competitions. Seven came in the league.

8 - United players were shown eight red cards in all competitions during the season. Shaun Miller and Jamie Devitt received two each, with Macaulay Gillesphey, Michael Raynes, Jamie Proctor, James Bailey also getting an early bath. Raynes's, at Luton, was rescinded on appeal. Opponents, meanwhile, saw four red cards against the Blues, meanwhile: Morecambe's Dean Winnard, Accrington's Matty Pearson, Barnet's Simeon Akinola and Yeovil's Ben Whitfield.

9 - Carlisle's highest-scoring game of the season came in the controversial Checkatrade Trophy: a 5-4 win at Oldham. There were eight goals in their 5-3 FA Cup win at St Albans City, while their highest-scoring league game was their 5-2 win against Mansfield, in which Charlie Wyke scored a hat-trick.

14 - After the departure of Wyke, Jabo Ibehre ended the season as the leading scorer still at the club, with 14. It was the second most prolific season of his career. His best was in the previous campaign with United, when he scored 17. Next for the Blues were Jason Kennedy with 11 (the best return of his career), Danny Grainger with nine and both Shaun Miller and Reggie Lambe with eight.

15 - Keith Curle and his team set a United record with their start to the season, going 15 Football League games unbeaten from the opening day and leaving Clive Middlemass' previous record (10 games) far behind. In all competitions they negotiated 21 games before losing, 2-0 at Newport on November 12 (not including their Capital One Cup defeat at Derby, on penalties after a 1-1 draw).

17 - Cameron Salkeld, 17, became Carlisle's third-youngest first-team goalscorer when he netted the Blues' fourth against Fleetwood in the Checkatrade Trophy. Rob Edwards still holds the record - 17 years and 250 days when scoring against Maidstone in 1990, with Matty Fryatt second.

17 - Remember Keith Curle's first season in charge, where United failed to draw a game for an age? Those days were long gone as 2016/17 went on, and the Blues achieved the equal highest number of draws in League Two. Luton also drew 17 times. When they faced each other? 1-1 and 0-0.

18 - Charlie Wyke scored this many goals in 35 appearances before his departure to Bradford in January. This despite the striker being an unused substitute in the opening-day draw at Portsmouth.

28 - The Blues set a club record run without a clean-sheet from October to March. Between the 3-0 win at Morecambe and the 0-0 draw with Luton they went 28 matches without a shut-out.

34 - The number of points Carlisle accrued from away games in the league: eight wins, 10 draws and just five defeats. Only two clubs (Plymouth and Luton) lost fewer games on their travels.

35 - This many players got onto the pitch in first-team games for Carlisle in league and cup during the campaign.

36 - The Checkatrade Trophy, whose involvement of top-flight and Championship clubs was supposedly designed to produce future England players, saw the former Manchester United defender Wes Brown feature at Brunton Park for Blackburn's "Under-21s". He was nine days away from his 37th birthday.

37 - United took this many points from 23 home games in the regular league season, from 10 wins and seven draws. Fortress Brunton was breached six times.

52 - Not only did Mark Gillespie become United's first 46-game ever-present league player since fellow Adam Collin in 2011/12, he also featured in both play-off games and four cup ties. Understudy Max Crocombe's four outings all came in the Checkatrade Trophy.

68 - The number of league goals Carlisle conceded in their 46 games in 2016/17. It was the leakiest goals-against record of the division's top 15 clubs.

69 - United's goals-for total, giving them a goal-difference of +1, was in line with their league position, being the joint sixth best in League Two. Jamie Proctor's winner at Exeter on the final day took them into the black.

71 - Carlisle's points tally in the 46-game season was their best since the 2007/8 League One campaign, when they earned 80.

97 - United's latest goal of the league campaign came against Exeter on November 19, when Charlie Wyke hit a 97th minute winner to earn a 3-2 victory.

650 - The number of days in the overseas "billionaire" investor saga, which finally ended in February. Legal issues have prevented United from confirming the suitor's identity, but he is understood to be the Syrian former pizza shop owner who tried to buy Liverpool, Yahya Kirdi.

1,253 - Carlisle's home crowd for their first-ever "B Team" cup tie, against Blackburn's Under-21s in the controversial Checkatrade Trophy. With some fans boycotting, it was Brunton Park's lowest crowd for 24 years, until they pulled in even fewer (1,126) for the second round defeat to Mansfield.

9,708 - United's biggest home crowd of the campaign came in their play-off semi-final first leg against Exeter. In the 46-game campaign, the largest audience was 7,333 for the 3-2 win against Hartlepool.

11,016 - This is how many miles Carlisle's die-hard travelling supporters covered to get to their 23 away league games and back again. Adding cup ties and play-off games, the total round trip for 2016/17 came to 12,918 miles - still considerably shorter than their marathon in 2015/16, which formed a total round trip of 15,748 miles.
