Travel from Carlisle? : Thu Aug 06, 2009 7:00 pm  

I'm moving up to Carlisle in a few weeks to go to uni and i don't think i can get by without my fix of RL, as you guys are doing well + the Rooney connection i really want to make The Raiders my "adopted club".
My questions are these;

1) How easy is it to get to barrow on the train/bus from Carlisle?
2) How much does it cost to get in on the door?
3) Can anyone recommend me a good place for a pint?
4) Can anyone recommend me a good place to stand during the game, i do like a good sing at the match.

Any info would be great thanks guys & girls. Been following you the times you have been on sky & look forward to getting to experience it for real, what's left of this year & next!

try posting on the rugby league org site as this is where most of the fans discuss.
the raiders ground is a 5 minute walk from the train station
£13 entry, the best place to stand imo is on the popular side opposite the stand.
there are plenty of place's for a pint or 2, duke of ed, wehterspoons, bar continental, the ambrose all of which are on route to the ground.
hope this is of help to you?

The more the merrier mate. Best way to Barrow from Carlisle is on the train - either down the coast or Main line and change at Lancaster. The main Raiders forum can be found at ........... http://www.totalrl.com/index.php?showforum=4 We've been linked with a fair few Wildcats - so maybe next season there may be more to cheer on at the REAL Craven Park !!!
