If this looks remarkably like something that appears on the Woking site then... that's because we've nicked their idea. Well, give them credit, they had to get something right after all this time! ;o)
This page is designed to act as a catalogue of those great occasions, events and incidents that serve to remind us what we keep coming back for, travel to Carlisle for, take days off work for, and burn so much of our wages for.

There was the moment during a tediously boring end of season game during those times when there was nothing to play for when a Tesco paper bag caught the eye of one wag in the South stand. It was drifting perilously towards the opposition goal line but then blew away only to come back again. Soon we were all singing "There's only one paper bag" and to everyone's delight the wind suddenly drove it into the back of the net! I can't remember the game but their goalie played along and tried to save it!
