Piataks at Wycombe Wanderers to watch Carlisle United

And members of the American family who are seeking to buy the Blues were sporting United's striking away colours as they joined travelling fans.

Jenna and fiance Nick plus Tom II's wife Alice all wore the famous pink, black and yellow away shirt, Tom II and Alice also donning fruit salad bucket hats.

They heard chants of "USA, USA" by some Carlisle fans, while an American flag was also on display.

Their appearance at the game came at the end of a major week in their family's takeover plans which saw members of United supporters' trust CUOSC vote in favour of the Piataks' proposals with a massive 98 per cent majority.

Tom Piatak snr and wife Patty are starting a holiday but remain confident about sealing a takeover deal, through their newly-formed Castle Sports Group, in the coming weeks.

The family said they had "heartfelt gratitude" for the supporters' backing, and underlined their determination to get the deal over the line - including seeking a resolution to the club's debt to Purepay Retali Limited.
