Carlisle players and staff will be on hand tomorrow afternoon to help anyone in the Cumbria area who has been affected by Storm Desmond over the weekend.

Following their 5-0 victory in the FA Cup yesterday, the players voiced their concerns to those in charge at the club about the situation in North-West England.

Brunton Park, along with other parts of Cumbria, has been completely flooded and the squad will now do everything they can to help those that are in need.

Using Twitter to convey the message, they said: “Just speaking to club captain Danny Grainger on the team bus.

“A lot of concern from the lads about all those afffected by this weekend’s events up in Cumbria and the Borders.

“Every member of the squad has agreed that they want to help, if at all possible so they have spoken to manager Keith Curle, and it has been agreed that we will all be available, after training on Tuesday, to help out in any way possible.

“Clearing furniture, cleaning, tidying — anything that is needed and that will help. Contact us on media@carlisleunited.co.uk if you think the lads can help you with your situation.”

Grainger, who scored in the routine win over Welling which sent Curle’s men into the third round, himself tweeted: “Anyone affected by the Cumbria floods and need help with anything at all please get in touch and some of the squad can come and help anyone.”
