    If City got to Brunton Park at 1.30 p.m. Then allowing for slight delays en route, they could have set off at 11.00 a.m. If you added in an hour for lunch, perhaps somewhere like Penrith, that would mean leaving around 10.00 a.m.
    I thought I read somewhere that Cook, Gilliead and another player drove over from the North-East to Carlisle, so didn’t go on the team coach.
    I struggle to see the necessity of an overnight stay, when it is a little over 100 miles and much of it on rural trunk roads/motorway.

    "Big Club" mentality. We should have had them go up on the day.

    You may well be right. The referee should decide when the game ends though, not the home fans.

    with the world of twitter, face book and all the other modern day bollocks, it would be impossible to keep it secret.

    Not really. You come to a written agreement with the Hotel and spell out the consequences of it getting out.

    It was another guest from Plymouth, who was quoted in the papers, recognised our players.
    As i said impossible to keep things quite these days.

    I take your point,but it's a fine line,and Simpson did apologise for something he said in the heat of the moment,I can't help think the EFL are being a bit paranoid over it.

    He's claimed the referee is biased towards the home team. You can't do that!!

    What are the consequences? Never using that hotel again?

    We don't stay over when traveling to Carlisle and certainly not Barrow so why would we use them again anyway?

    Do we book out the whole hotel in future? How do PL clubs do it?
    They have the players in a hotel before every game.

    C’mn that is harsh. I didn’t know they were going up in Friday. So if the home fans don’t know the away fans must have been doing their own investigation. My guess is someone at the Hotel leaked, hardly the club’s failure.

    Hopefully we learn from it and do everything we can to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    I was eluding to confidentiality agreements. Anyway, hopefully we learn from it and come up with a solution for next time.

    If you read my post, i state they deserved the win, but if we are under investigation for letting off flares in a pub in Rochdale
    ( BLOODY IDIOTIC by our so called fans) Then so should Carlisle for their fans letting off fireworks and blasting car horns at 3 am in the Lake district. What is the difference between both acts , by so called football supporters? Non in my eyes.

    We have done it all season for one. In fact the flares going off by our supporters has been a theme for a number of seasons.

    The only sanction we will get for our behaviour is the games will all be made a higher category by the police and the policing budget will go up. Maybe reduced away attendances. That will hit us in the pocket. You are wanting all of Carlisle’s playoff earnings taken off them for a few fans driving up to a hotel and letting off 30 seconds worth of fireworks?

    I’d suggest there is quite a difference between letting off flares indoors in a pub versus outdoors outside a hotel, no matter at what time.

    We’re all disappointed, but I never like to see these threads calling for sanctions against clubs who have beaten us as it just comes across as butthurt.

    Roll on the release list.

    Blow early ? He played a good three minutes more than the time he had added on in extra time.
