Thereafter the club was plagued by debts and poor attendances. They moved to Gillford Park for the 1988-89 season as they were not able to afford the rent on Brunton Park.
They became Carlisle Border Raiders for the 1990-91 season but continued to struggle.

Carlisle were to merge with Whitehaven RLFC, Workington Town and Barrow to form Cumbria who would compete in Super League. This was, however, resisted.

Their final game was at home to Workington on 7 September 1997 which they lost 34-24 in front of a crowd of 453. The merged team played all its matches in Barrow and in 2002 dropped the 'Border' from its name. Barrow Raiders are a British rugby league team from Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria. ...
