CARLISLE United finished the 2005 - 2006 League Two season as Champions, with 86 points. The final game of the season was Saturday 6 May 2006, away at Stockport, which ended in a 0-0 draw. The team returned to Brunton Park for the medals and trophy presentation at 8pm that evening, an attendance of around seven thousand saw United crowned Champions on an amazing evening.
Monday 8 May saw a civic reception for the team at the Civic Centre, Carlisle, whilst the same day the team manager, Paul Simpson, announced his plans for the squad, which are as follows:
Kevin Gray (Captain), Paul Arnison and Derek Holmes have all accepted new one year contracts, Lee Andrews has been released whilst Simpson has said he will "listen to offers" for Glenn Murray, Simon Grand and Brendan McGill. News is Karl Hawley has signed a contract extension with the Club - Bring on League One!
Middlesbrough travelled to Eindhoven, Holland for the UEFA Cup Final on Wednesday night, losing 4-0 to Seville (Spain) - Enough said I think. Today saw the Cup Finals: Liverpool beat West Ham on penalties, as did Hearts against Gretna. All eyes now turn to Stade De France, Paris, for the Champions League Final this coming Wednesday: Barcelona v Arsenal. Then there's the small matter of a World Cup coming up, more about that nearer the time.
That's all for now, enjoy the sunshine!
