Last updated 10:10, Saturday, 05 July 2008
Carlisle United's first ever match against Milton Keynes Dons is to be shown live on Sky Sports.
The Blues make their inaugural visit to Stadium:mk on Saturday, October 11 and kick-off has been brought forward to 12.15pm for the benefit of the Sky cameras.
It means an even earlier start for United fans making the 260-mile trip to watch John Ward's side tackle the promoted Dons, who this week appointed ex-Chelsea hero Roberto Di Matteo as their new manager.
United also face a 12.15pm kick-off when they welcome Leeds to Brunton Park on Saturday, September 20.
This is on the advice of Cumbria Police who are anxious to avoid a repeat of last season's violent clashes between rival fans in the city centre and near Brunton Park.
Carlisle's trip to Oldham on Sunday, December 28 has also been brought forward to a 1pm kick-off.
