Dave Wilkes Tribute and Summer News Round-Up - Season 23/24, Episode 1
The Bugle is back for the 2023-24 Season, but the first episode of the new season campaign begins on a sad note, after United announced that the club's Head of Academy Coaching, Dave Wilkes, had died at the age of 59 on Thursday.
In this episode, Dan and Lee begin by paying tribute to Dave's legacy at the club over the past 32 years, coaching a huge number of players in the academy - some who made it, some who didn't - as well as his brief spell as joint-manager with John Halpin in the late 90s. Rest in Peace, Dave.
There is also a round-up of some of the summer news, including the new kits launch, the release of the League One fixture list and the pre-season friendlies.
We'll be back soon with another round-up once pre-season training is underway and some signings have arrived at Brunton Park.
Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
