The prodigal son returns! Yes, for the first time in quite a while, Dan is back on the pod... but unfortunately, there's not much positive to talk about as United slump to two consecutive defeats on the road to start the Mark Hughes reign. Can Sparky turn things around, or are the Blues doomed for the drop?

In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we look back on the losses at Grimsby and Newport and look ahead to another big game at home against Colchester - plenty covered including:

We’re delighted to confirm that the Carlisle United Supporters Trust (CUST) will be sponsoring the Brunton Bugle this season.

CUST, formed originally in 2001 as CCUIST and later known as CUOSC, is the supporters' trust for Carlisle United. They are a community benefit society, with a one member-one vote democratic structure. They currently have 10% voting control of the club's holding company CUFC Holdings Ltd and are members of the Football Supporters' Association (FSA).

You can find out more about the Supporters Trust and how to join on their website www.cust.org.uk, or you can contact them on X at @CUFCTrust

As part of this sponsorship, we’ll be working closely with the Trust to provide some additional content this season – keep an eye out for these episodes soon!

-----------------

We've had a few people asking how they can contribute financially towards the pod over the last few seasons - we do this podcast because we love our club and are happy to do it for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution that can help towards hosting, online studio or equipment costs, we would be extremely grateful.

It would go a long way to help us keep providing content for the Blues fanbase across the world for the 2024-25 season!

You can now do this on our Ko-Fi page - ko-fi.com/bruntonbugle. Any donation is really appreciated!
