Carlisle United supporters in south Cumbria will get the chance to quiz members of the club hierarchy at a forum next week.

A fans' forum is being staged by United's south Cumbria supporters' club.

It will feature owners Tom snr and Patty Piatak on the top table.

They will be joined by manager Paul Simpson, chief executive Nigel Clibbens, finance director Suzanne Kidd and CUOSC director Matt Spooner.

The event next Tuesday will give fans the opportunity to speak to the club's American owners about their latest plans at United, including stand developments and work to secure a new training ground.

It is also an opportunity to ask Simpson about the state of Carlisle's League One survival battle, some five days after the closure of the January transfer window.

The event is being held at Kendal Town FC's Parkside Road ground and starts at 7pm.

Entry is free but tickets must be booked in advance HERE. Only a limited number are still available.

It is set to be the first of a number of forums to take place in different parts of the region.

While most recent forums have been staged at Brunton Park fan groups have expressed a keenness to welcome United figures in different settings.

There is the prospect of an event in March at Gretna for United's southern Scottish fans, with a forum being looked at for west Cumbria in April/May.
