Our discount offer gives full access to everything we write about the Blues for the next FOUR months for £4 - a big reduction on our normal price of £4.99 a month.

Alternatively, you can sign up for a full year of coverage with 40 per cent off - that's £31 instead of £52.

But don't delay, as these offers are only open until 11.59pm today (Wednesday)!

Our subscription offers at the News & Star enable you to enjoy our in-depth coverage as the Blues' improving 2026/27 National League campaign under Rob Elliot unfolds.

Taking a four-month subscription for £4 will take you all the way through to the middle of March, which means the majority of the season as the Blues bid to maintain their recent impressive form in league and cup.

Subscribing for a year for £31, meanwhile, will ensure you won't miss a word of our award-winning, independent coverage all campaign...and all the way through to November 2027 - well into next season!

Taking out a digital subscription is easy - and is the best way to ensure you don't miss a word of our coverage of the Blues, including all the detailed stories and features which go deeper than the articles which remain free to read, such as our popular live match blogs and news.

Here are some examples of the things our growing number of subscribers can read exclusively:

BIG MATCH VERDICTS - Our in-depth take on the latest United game

PLAYER RATINGS - After each game you can check out how we scored the players - and agree or disagree accordingly...

NOSTALGIA - Our weekly nostalgia series, 'Story Of The Blues', looks back at major moments and notorious episodes in United's history with the benefit of our unrivalled archive. Other one-off nostalgia articles are subscriber-only too.

BIG INTERVIEWS - When we speak in detail to a major figure from United's past or present, subscribers can enjoy the resulting feature first.

AUDIO FEATURES - Listen to our pre-and post-match interviews with United's head coach and hear the questions we're asking him, as well as interviews with players and other Blues figures.

OPINION - Including Jon Colman's regular Saturday column on the latest hot topics, and one-off comment pieces

ANALYSIS - Every Monday we delve deeper and highlight several aspects of the latest game and the bigger picture at United

COMPETITIONS - We often run exclusive competitions for subscribers - including a recent competition to win a new Carlisle United home shirt!

Taking out a digital subscription also gets you a better browsing experience, with 80 per cent fewer adverts, quicker loading times, exclusive use of our ad-free app - as well as the knowledge you are supporting our detailed and award-winning journalism on the Brunton Park club.

Our £4 for 4 months and £31 for 12 months offers are open UNTIL 11.59PM ON WEDNESDAY - so don't miss out!
