Confirmation of 1921 Board Representative

Nigel Davidson, 1921 Board Rep

We are pleased to announce that Nigel Davidson has passed the EFL Owners & Directors test and has now taken his place on the Carlisle United 1921 Board as the CUOSC Representative, replacing Jim Mitchell who recently stood down.

Nigel Davidson, CUOSC Vice Chair said: “It is an honour and a privilege to be appointed as the Supporters’ Trust Representative on the 1921 Board at Carlisle United. As a supporter of Carlisle United for over 40 years, to find myself in this position is incredible and I intend to approach it with the dedication and professionalism it deserves.

Being on the CUOSC board as Vice Chair, on the CUSG Group as CUOSC Rep and EDI Officer, I have always tried to work as hard as possible to bring the Carlisle United supporter’s voice into the football club and build that two-way relationship between supporter and club. I hope that in this position I can do this in an even more productive and effective way.

It isn’t always easy because we are a football supporter-base like any other, full of differing opinions on everything from tactics to hospitality, to players, to the manager, to the kit and all sorts of other areas. It’s a challenge to bring together a supporter base, but one I am looking forward to. We all fundamentally have the same aim and that is to see Carlisle United achieve success on and off the field.

One thing I will say is that I will be available to talk to supporters on any subject within that remit, which also goes for my existing CUOSC and CUSG responsibilities as well. I have some big shoes to fill as Jim Mitchell was an excellent representative on the board. I’m looking forward to the new season with a real sense of optimism both on and off the pitch, especially given the turn around the club has had since the arrival of Paul Simpson earlier in the year and I hope the supporters share the same optimism.”
