Black Cats’ fans heading to the first Sunderland game of the season on Saturday, August 3 are being reminded of changes which could affect their journey to the Stadium of Light.
Ahead of the 2019/20 season start, Sunderland AFC has issued advice to supporters travelling to the ground by car for the team’s first match.
There is no off-street parking available around the stadium, the club said, and motorists wishing to use the green car park are advised that to arrive no later than 20 minutes before kick-off.
Supporters should no longer exit the Sheepfolds via Easington Street onto North Street by car. This is now a ‘no entry’ point for vehicles due to the completion of the North Bridge Street Road improvements.
There will also be a northbound closure between the A1231 Wessington Way roundabout and Testo’s roundabout from 8pm on Friday, August 2 to 6am on Monday. Monday 5.
