As SAFC gets ready for another round of Europa Cup action, Black Cats supporters were living the dream as they mingled on the eve of the big game against Lech Poznań.

These fantastic photos were sent to us from Poznań's Old Market Square in the historic heart of the city's Old Town, by Peter Oliver who is a member of the South Shields and Washington Sunderland Supporters branch.

Peter is in the middle of a mega journey of 4,500 miles in his bid to follow the team he loves.

First, he headed to Portugal when he joined other fans and flew out of Gatwick for the SAFC game against SCU Torreense.

Next, he flew back to the UK to pick the car up to travel down to Bournemouth for the game on Sunday.

He was back at Wearside on Monday, went back to work for a few hours on the Tuesday morning then ‘straight down to Luton to fly out early to Poznań on the Wednesday morning.”

That’s almost 4,500 miles in travelling and we are sure Peter is not the only one clocking up some incredible miles.

Get in touch with your photos as you head out to Poznań, or perhaps you are already there and would like to share the great times you are having.
