Sunderland supporters quickly snapped up the initial allocation of 2,885 tickets that went on sale last month.

The club have now been handed a further allocation of 4,874 tickets.

Should they sell out then it will be the biggest away following of a remarkable season so far.

Around 5,000 fans made the trip to the Ricoh Arena in September.
