Fans that travelled to Portugal to watch Sunderland’s pre-season friendly against Rangers were offered a great gesture by chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus yesterday.
The Black Cats’ clash with the Scottish club was abandoned at half-time due to floodlight issues and KLD wanted to offer some kind of apology and thank fans for their support.
Yesterday morning travelling fans received an email from the club welcoming them to Monday evening’s ‘open training session’, where they were able to watch the players train and get photos and autographs with the stars.
The club then shared photos and videos of the fans and the lads enjoying their time on the training pitch in Albufeira.
The Wearsiders will resume pre-season action tomorrow as they face Roma.
Here are today’s rumours...
