The Cumbrians are urging their fans to turn out in number for their ‘8k for MK’ campaign.

Dons leapfrogged Carlisle in League 2 courtesy of their 1-0 win over Newport County on Tuesday night, and defeat for the Cumbrians away at Crewe.

And after the win at Rodney Parade, defender Cargill is keen to make it back-to-back away wins to send the Carlisle contingent home disappointed.

"It'll be nice – it's always nice to go and play at a full stadium," he said. "Why not, let's go there and play well, take three points and send 8,000 people home unhappy!"

Dons boss Paul Tisdale said: "The circumstances have changed a lot since we last played them, they have a new manager and are in far better form than when they came here before. We're in not such good form, things have changed. League 2 changes quickly. We're not taking too much from the game last time."

With regards to their drive to bring fans in, he added: "It creates a better atmosphere. I didn't know they were doing that, but good for them. It won't influence how we prepare.

"We played there in the play-offs with Exeter a few years ago and it was a great atmosphere. It's a big old fashioned ground, a good place to place football, a good pitch. I've had some good times."

Dons have not had much luck at Brunton Park down the years. In six visits, Dons have won just once, a 3-1 win in September 2011. Their last visit came in January 2014 when Karl Robinson’s side were soundly beaten 3-0.
