News - Sunderland Today: All ready for the kick off.
The Stadium of Light will play host to Charlton Athletic in the season opener tomorrow afternoon, after a hectic summer for the groundstaff who have laid a brand new pitch fit for the Premiership, and made other minor improvements to the ground. Mick McCarthy has brought in ten new faces for a combined cost of less than one Tore Andre Slow! I wish them well and can't wait to take my place in the North-West Upper corner. I'm expecting a crowd close to 40,000, not a sell out, although the club is doing it's best to drag the supporters in (there will be cash turnstyles for tomorrow's game.)
Lucky Matthew Coombs, a 12 year old from South Shields was first in the queue to buy the new all black away kit, and was fortunate enough to meet with Mick McCarthy, Matthew had waited at the stadium since Wednesday to buy his new shirt!
