And here is a chance to re-live some of the scenes that the Sunderland Echo photographers captured inside the clubs of Wearside in years gone by.
Let’s pay a visit to Castletown, Red House, South Hylton and Whitburn. We can also take a look inside clubs at Downhill, Farringdon and Town End Farm.
Take a look and see if these scenes bring back happy memories.
