Fans support was amazing

As vice-president of Humbledon and Plains Farm Youth Football Club, I would like to offer my sincere thanks for the generosity shown by you wonderful Sunderland (and Everton) football fans.

Our club held a fundraising bucket collection outside the Sunderland Stadium of Light on Wednesday, May 11, before the Sunderland v Everton match which ultimately proved to be the match which preserved Sunderland’s Premiership status for another season.

The sum raised was a magnificent £3,322, which has been shared by the12 teams who took part with the balance going to the club.

Once again, a great big thank you to you all.

Ray Mowbray

vice-president,
