Boxing Day 1967 in Carlisle... and what better way to help shake off those Christmas excesses than to head off to a football match - in this case a Football League Division 2 clash away to Blackpool. Britannia Pacific no 70013 Oliver Cromwell prepares to take out the Carlisle United football special packed with fans who would help to make up the crowd of 20,000+ at Bloomfield Road that day who witnessed an entertaining 1-1 draw.
