Carlisle United fans are set to pack out Salford City's ground in another huge away-day show of support this weekend.

A bumper turnout by the Blue Army is guaranteed at the Peninsula Stadium.

United, as of Tuesday morning, announced they had already sold 1,233 tickets with 132 more remaining.

It means Carlisle fans will make up a large percentage of the overall attendance in the League Two clash.

Salford's average home crowd this season is 2,867.

It will be the latest big travelling army backing the Blues after recent away days at some of the shorter trips on their league calendar.

Carlisle have taken strong support to the likes of Hartlepool United, Tranmere Rovers, Stockport County and Harrogate Town.

Further big backing for Paul Simpson's side will be clear on Saturday in the 8th v 9th clash.

United will be hoping to win at Salford's ground for the first time, having drawn 1-1 and lost 2-1 on their previous two visits.

Remaining tickets are available at United's main ticket office or by calling 0330 094 5930 and selecting option one.
