Carlisle spent one season in the old First Division, the 1974-75 season. They won their first three fixtures of the campaign to top the table, but finished the season in bottom place and were relegated. A decline over the next 13 years saw them fall back into the Fourth Division by 1987. The Football League Fourth Division or Division Four of The Football League was the fourth-highest division in the English football league system from the 1958-59 season until the creation of the FA Premier League prior to the 1992-93 season. ...


Since 1987

1987-88: With Carlisle in the Fourth Division for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, their form continued to slump. They finished second from bottom in the league, but at least they were never in any real danger of relegation because of Newport County's exceptionally awful form - which saw 19 points separate the two teams. Newport County AFC are a football club with a chequered history. ...


1988-89: Carlisle's league form took a major boost after three awful seasons and they finished a respectable 12th in the Fourth Division. They reached the FA Cup Third Round, where their run was ended by defending league champions and eventual FA Cup winners Liverpool. 17-year-old defender Steve Harkness was sold to Liverpool at the end of the season.

Middlesbrough Football Club are an English football club, commonly known as Boro, that play in the Premier League. ...


1989-90: Carlisle's good progress continued into the new decade, but their playoff hopes were ended on the final day of the season by a 5-2 demolition at the hands of Maidstone United. This was a disappoining end to an encouraging season during which the Cumbrians had topped the Fourth Division on Christmas day and for a while in January as well, but in the end they only missed out on the playoffs due to inferior goal difference. For the band, see 1990s (band). ... Maidstone United Football Club are an English football team from Maidstone, Kent. ... (Redirected from 25 December) December 25 is the 359th day of the year (360th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 6 days remaining. ...


1990-91: A promising start to the season suggested that the Cumbrians were finally on their way out of the Fourth Division, but a disastrous second half of the campaign saw them slump to 20th in the final table and cost manager Clive Middlemass his job in March. He was succeeded by Aidan McCaffrey, who was left needing a substantial overhaul to get Carlisle's fortunes back on track.

1992-93: Michael Knighton took Carlisle over just before the start of the season, and within weeks had sacked manager Aidan McCaffrey following a terrible start to the new Division Three campaign.

1993-94: Before the season began, Michael Knighton announced his intention to deliver Premiership football to Carlisle by 2003. He re-organised the management team to appoint Mick Wadsworth as Director of Coaching, while David McCreery was given the role of head coach and 38-year-old goalkeeper Mervyn Day was named as assistant coach. This season was Carlisle's best in years, as the £121,000 record signing of striker David Reeves in October saw them acquire a much-needed prolific goalscorer. They won 10 of their final 14 league games to secure the final playoff place in Division Three, though their promotion dream was ended by Wycombe in the semi-finals. Michael Mick Wadsworth (born November 3, 1950 in Yorkshire, UK) is an English football coach, currently assistant manager at Shrewsbury Town. ...

1994-95: Carlisle finally achieved their first major success in 13 years by lifting the Division Three title.

Birmingham City Football Club are an English football club based in Birmingham, in the heart of the West Midlands. ...


1995-96: Mick Wadsworth's resignation as manager in December was a major blow to Carlisle, as was the mid-season sale of key players Paul Murray and Tony Gallimore. They finished the season clear of the relegation zone with more goals than 21st-placed York City, who had to replay a game against Brighton which had been cancelled due to crowd trouble.

1996-97: Young players like Rory Delap, Matt Jansen and Lee Peacock were crucial as Carlisle bounced back from relegation to achieve promotion back to Division Two at the first time of asking. The promotion joy was accompanied by a penalty shoot-out triumph over Colchester United in the Auto Windscreens Trophy Final, in which Tony Caig pulled off some impressive goalkeeping heroics.

1997-98: Mervyn Day was sacked just six games into Carlisle's Division Two campaign, and chairman Michael Knighton promptly installed himself as manager. They were still in the relegation zone come Christmas, but by the time Knighton left the club a few weeks later they had climbed clear. But nine defeats from their final 10 games condemned Carlisle to relegation in 23rd place, with 17 goals from striker Ian Stevens not being quite enough to attain survival. Ian Stevens (b. ...


1998-99: Carlisle entered the final game of the season needing to beat Plymouth Argyle at Brunton Park to avoid relegation, and the score was still 1-1 with 90 minutes showing on the clock. The referee allowed four minutes of stoppage time, and during the final minute Carlisle were awarded a corner. Goalkeeper Jimmy Glass, signed in an emergency loan deal after the transfer deadline, drove home a last-gasp winner which preserved Carlisle's Football League status and sent down Scarborough.

For the Local Government District of Chester City, see Chester City (district). ...


2000-01: Ian Atkins, one of the most successful managers in the lower leagues, was appointed at the Carlisle helm and there was much hope that he could be the man to achieve promotion. But things didn't work out, and they finished 22nd - just one place higher than in the previous two campaigns. Atkins quit at the end of the season and was succeeded by Roddy Collins. Ian Atkins (born 16 January 1957 in Birmingham) is an English professional football manager, and former professional footballer. ... Roddy Collins is an Irish personality, former football manager, journalist and television pundit. ...


2001-02: After three seasons of close shaves with relegation, Carlisle enjoyed the relative luxury of attaining a safe final position of 17th - which saw them finish 16 points clear of the relegation zone.


2002-03: For the fourth time in five seasons, Carlisle narrowly avoided relegation. This time 22nd place was just one place above the drop zone, as this was the first season in which two clubs were relegated to the Conference instead of just one.


2003-04: The writing was on the wall for Carlisle after they lost 18 of their first 21 Division Three games. Manager Paul Simpson did all he could to salvage something from the next 25 fixtures, but couldn't quite achieve safety - 40 points from a possible 75 were effectively rendered meaningless due to Carlisle's appalling first half of the season. Had they performed as well during the first half of the campaign as they did during the second, then they would have featured in the push for a playoff place. Paul David Simpson (born 26 July 1966) is the current manager of Football League Championship team Preston North End, having been named as the successor to the departing Billy Davies on June 16, 2006. ...
