Sell-out! 1,000+ support for Carlisle United at Fleetwood
Carlisle United have announced a sell-out away support for their next game on the road in League Two.
The trip to Fleetwood Town on Saturday, January 25 will see a packed away section at the Highbury Stadium.
Some 1,117 Blues fans have snapped up the full allocation of away tickets for the game against Pete Wild's bottom-half team.
It is the latest in a series of big away-day followings for Mike Williamson's side as they attempt to fight clear of League Two relegation danger.
The game on Saturday week will see the Cumbrians take on the division's 16th-placed side, Fleetwood currently nine points above bottom-placed United having played two games fewer.

Former Barrow boss Wild was recently hired as the replacement for Charlie Adam, who was sacked by Fleetwood on December 22 after a poor run of form. The Cod Army saw a 3-2 win at Brunton Park in the previous meeting between the sides in September.
Carlisle have taken some bumper away followings already in recent times, with 1,286 Blues fans following Williamson's side to Tranmere Rovers on January 4.
New Year's Day saw a 924-strong support at Crewe Alexandra, with other strong away backing coming at places such as Salford City, where 1,366 travelling fans cheered United to victory.
There is the prospect of further big away days in the second half of the campaign, with a number of northern opponents for Carlisle still to face, such as Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, Barrow, Harrogate Town and Doncaster Rovers.
Carlisle have added that they will not be receiving any further tickets for the Fleetwood trip, the 1,117 being their maximum allocation for the game.
