Carlisle United Football Club (/kɑːrˈlaɪl/ kar-LYLE, locally /ˈkɑːrlaɪl/ KAR-lyle) is a professional association football club based in Carlisle, Cumbria, England. The team compete in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system. They have played their home games at Brunton Park since 1909. The club's traditional kit is blue with white and red detail, whilst the badge takes elements from the city's coat of arms by including two wyverns. They are nicknamed the Blues, due to their kit, as well as the Cumbrians. Formed in 1904, the club entered the Lancashire Combination the following year and were crowned Division Two champions in 1906-07. They entered the North Eastern League in 1910 and went on to win the league title in 1921-22, before being elected into the Football League in 1928. They spent the next 30 years in the Third Division North, at which point they were assigned a place in the newly formed Fourth Division, from where they won promotion in 1961-62. Relegated the following season, they then won two consecutive promotions, finishing the 1964-65 season as champions of the Third Division under the stewardship of Alan Ashman. They secured promotion out of the Second Division in 1973-74, but stayed only one season in the First Division and were relegated back to the Third Division at the end of the 1976-77 campaign. Promoted again under Bob Stokoe in 1981-82, they suffered successive relegations to return to the fourth tier by 1987. Carlisle won promotion as champions of the fourth tier in 1994-95, but were relegated the next season, before winning promotion again in 1996-97, only to be relegated again the following year.
