Carlisle united was formed in 1903 when two Carlisle based teams, Shaddongate United and Carlisle Red Rose, merged. The newly formed club initially played at Milhome Bank and later at Devonshire Park, finally settling at their current home Brunton Park

The club was rumoured to be joining the Scottish football. This has been played down by both fans and officials of the club, which is based in a city steeped in history dominated by a struggle to keep the town English.
