Carlisle United have announced fans will not need to provide a UK government health pass to enter their Brunton Park stadium after reducing the capacity to 9,999.

On Tuesday, MPs passed the use of 'health' passes for some venues in England from Wednesday, including nightclubs and any venue with more than 10,000 people.

League Two side Carlisle's Brunton Park ground has a total capacity of 17,949 - though they haven't had an attendance higher than 8,000 so far this season - but the club have announced they will reduce the total capacity so passes won't be required.

The revised 9,999 capacity - below the 10,000 threshold - means match-going fans won't need to prove their 'health' status.

A club statement read: "The club can confirm there will be no mandatory Covid certification at Brunton Park at this time.

"At this point, all areas (except Waterworks North End) are planned to remain open. At these levels of expected attendance there will be no mandatory Covid certification required at Brunton Park under 'Plan-B'.

"There will be no requirement to show vaccination status or a recent negative test to enter the stadium and come to games. Supporters will not be required to wear a face covering when located in their seat, or on the terrace, in the stadium bowl."
