The Lads look to round off the season with a positive performance and result, as they host Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light on Saturday 4 May at 12:30pm.

This final home game will allow us to celebrate the life of 'The King' Charlie Hurley, with a number of arrangements made to honour his seismic impact on SAFC.

Remembering Charlie Hurley

Players, staff and supporters will come together this weekend to celebrate the life of Charlie Hurley, who sadly passed away aged 87 last week.

You can find a full run-through of the plans for Saturday's meeting with Sheffield Wednesday here. We look forward to welcoming supporters to show our love for 'The King'.

Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen

Saturday's game will see the Community Soup Kitchen visit for a final collection of the season. Tinned items are on the wish list for this week, with the collection beginning from 10.30am opposite A Love Supreme. Look out for their flags and their van!

Club Store

The club store will be open from 10am until 5pm, with a pause while the game is being played. Head down to shop Father's Day gifts, and take advantage of some of our incredible end-of-season discounts, including retro ranges and sportswear!

Download your ticket before you travel

It is important to add your digital season ticket to your smart device (smartphone or smartwatch) prior to arriving at the Stadium of Light, as failure to do this in advance may delay you and other supporters when entering the stadium.

Upon receiving the email containing your digital season ticket, you should be able to add it to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay by following a few simple steps.

Road closures

Supporters are advised that several vehicle lockdowns have been implemented on matchdays at the Stadium of Light for the 2023-24 season.

The new measures, which are in agreement with the local Safety Advisory Group, will enhance supporter safety and allow crowds to successfully disperse following the full-time whistle before the roads reopen.

Vehicles will not be able to access the stadium site from 30 minutes prior to kick off until the fixture in question has started, with the stadium site once again locking down 30 minutes before the final whistle.

The roads will then reopen to vehicles wishing to depart or enter the stadium site once major crowds have dispersed, which typically takes 30-40 minutes after the conclusion of each game.

We thank supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter.

Accessing the stadium

Turnstiles will be open from 11am.

Reusable Cups

The ONE Planet ONE Chance Reusable Cup System encourages fans to return their cups to dedicated purple bins located throughout the stadium, ready for Event Cup Solutions' on-site team to collect.

The three-year agreement will reduce the Club's emissions and encourage sustainability at the Stadium of Light whilst raising funds for SAFC's official charity partner, the Foundation of Light. 10% of the cups are currently incorrectly disposed of. We ask all supporters to please locate the correct purple bins for these cups and use them accordingly. Find out more information.

Click and Collect

Our click-and-collect system will also be available on bottled orders in the North and South stand. Supporters can use interactive screens to order collect immediately or at half time.

South Stand Ticket Checks

As a result of concerns raised by supporters in the South Stand there will be additional ticket checks in place for Wednesday's match. The checks will be in place to ensure only South Stand ticket holders enter the South Stand concourse area at halftime. Supporters without a South stand ticket will be refused entry.

Supporters are requested to have their tickets ready for inspection when making their way onto the concourse.

Supporters are reminded that they must occupy the seat assigned to them on their ticket and that moving seats is a breach of ground regulations.

Sunderland AFC has stated its intention to apply to the Sports Ground Safety Authority to introduce licensed standing in the South Stand for the 2024-25 season. The enhanced ticket checks are being implemented in support of this intention.

Vehicles will not be able to access the stadium site from 30 minutes prior to kick off until the fixture in question has started, with the stadium site once again locking down 30 minutes before the final whistle. The roads will then reopen to vehicles wishing to depart or enter the stadium site once major crowds have dispersed, which typically takes 30-40 minutes after the conclusion of each game. We thank supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter.
