[edit] Warwick Road End
The most distinctive of the four stands at Brunton Park, it is situated at the southern end of the stadium. Although currently called the 'Unison Stand' under a sponsorship deal, it is still passionately known as 'The Warwick' to most Carlisle fans. It is terraced and houses the most vocal supporters on match day.
Capacity: c. 3,500
[edit] East Stand
Currently named 'The Cumberland Building Society Stand', it's a single-tiered cantilevar stand. Although having been constructed a number of years ago, the club still haven't completed the interior of the stand, thus the spaces at the top of the stand for executive boxes still stand empty. One peculiar thing fans may have noticed when visiting the ground is that the stand actually runs 20yrds past the goal line at the Northern end of the pitch. This is because the club had erected the stand with a view of moving the pitch further northwards so a new stand at the southern end of the ground could also be built. These plan never materialised though, and the problem still stands today.
Capacity: c. 6,000
