This season has taken Carlisle boss Mark Hughes to many new grounds in the National League
The buzz of matchday is what continues to burn inside Mark Hughes as he prepares for the biggest game of Carlisle United's season.
They welcome Boreham Wood to Brunton Park on Sunday (12:30 BST) with the winners heading to Wembley seven days later for the National League play-off final.
A veteran of 466 Premier League matches in the dugout, Hughes ended a 16-month period out of the game when he joined Carlisle in February 2025.
And for the 62-year-old Welshman, nothing can replicate the feeling of a match, with a bumper crowd of more than 12,000 expected.
