Football club bans four children over player abuse

Currently, children under 14 years old are not allowed to enter Carlisle United’s grounds, Brunton Park, without an adult.

The club says it is now reconsidering the minimum age limit.

Mr Cribbens said: “As well as four bans arising from the incident at the Port Vale game, we had another juvenile caught attempting to bring a flare into the Charlton game.”

Ticket checks, CCTV coverage, searches and stewarding will all be increased for the rest of the season, the club said.
