Speaking as someone who lost interest in Football 35 years ago due to Crowd Violence rearing it's repulsive head, I'm glad Common Sense has prevailed.

Totally agree proudofmycity - presume that the same principle applies to all those so called West Cumbrians who travel 40 miles every other week to watch Carlisle as opposed to their local club Workington Reds

RE: Proud of my City Iam a Carlisle United fan go to all home games and most away but that comment is ridiculous u should be ashamed of yourself. Pleased they made the right decision in the end R.I.P Lee

So glad they finally made the right decision. My dad will be smiling right now. R.I.P

by supporting your local team all this fuss could have been avoided...

I've got to say I can understand United on is. When I read the original report I couldn't work out what the crest was being requested for. It talked of a memorial and then an advert. Therefore if the request to United was as clear as the report I am not surprised it was not understood. Well done News and Star for creating a problem and then reporting on it!!

As I said in the previous article another non story and they are still blaming the club for getting it wrong and not the evening news for asking the wrong question,feel for the family loss and surley they have more to worry about than Man Utd

It appears from the report that Man United originally thought the request was to use the crest in an advertisement which they quite understandably don't allow. You can level many criticisms at the club but over the years they've demonstrated many times that they can show compassion so it seemed unlikely they'd have refused this request if they understood properly what it was for. Whether that's the fault of an individual at the club or the wording used when the N&S approached them is anybody's guess. The good thing is that it's sorted out now and the tribute can be placed as the family wanted.

A decent U turn but my thoughts are with the family.

Fair play United, got it right in the end
