Sunderland take on Wycome Wanderers in the League One play-off final at Wembley this afternoon, with 46,000 SAFC fans inside the stadium.
Four hours before kick-off thousands of fans had already made their way to stadium, with Wembley Way awash with sea and red.
You can get a flavour of the pre-match scenes in our picture gallery from Wembley Way, via photographers Frank Reid and Martin Swinney.
