Matchday Guide: All you need to know for Millwall clash

Sunderland AFC’s penultimate home game of the season arrives on Saturday when they host Millwall FC (KO 3pm).

 

Here’s all you need to show:

 

Show Racism the Red Card & Fanzone

 

This weekend’s fixture is a Show Racism the Red Card dedicated day of action. Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is the UK’s leading anti-racism educational charity with a 28-year history of delivering impactful anti-racism education using the high profile of football.

 

SRtRC deliver programmes of direct anti-racism education with over 50,000 young people and more than 10,000 adults every year. 

 

The Fanzone will run from 12:30pm-2:30pm and alongside its usual offerings such as football drop-ins, FIFA and music the Beacon of Light will showcase Show Racism the Red Card’s initiatives including a presentation from club legends Gary Bennett and Kevin Ball to shine a light on the dedicated work throughout the year.

 

The squad will also sport Show Racism the Red Card warm-up shirts at today's game.

  

Club Store

 

The club store will be open from 10am until 6pm, with a pause while the game is being played.

 

Download your ticket before you travel

 

It is important to add your digital season ticket to your smart device (smartphone or smartwatch) prior to arriving at the Stadium of Light, as failure to do this in advance may delay you and other supporters when entering the stadium.

 

Upon receiving the email containing your digital season ticket, you should be able to add it to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay by following a few simple steps.

Road closures

 

Supporters are advised that several vehicle lockdowns have been implemented on matchdays at the Stadium of Light for the 2023-24 season.

 

The new measures, which are in agreement with the local Safety Advisory Group, will enhance supporter safety and allow crowds to successfully disperse following the full-time whistle before the roads reopen.

 

Vehicles will not be able to access the stadium site from 30 minutes prior to kick off until the fixture in question has started, with the stadium site once again locking down 30 minutes before the final whistle.

 

The roads will then reopen to vehicles wishing to depart or enter the stadium site once major crowds have dispersed, which typically takes 30-40 minutes after the conclusion of each game.

 

We thank supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter.

Turnstiles will be open from 1:30pm.

Reusable Cups

 

The ONE Planet ONE Chance® Reusable Cup System encourages fans to return their cups to dedicated purple bins located throughout the stadium, ready for Event Cup Solutions’ on-site team to collect.

The three-year agreement will reduce the Club's emissions and encourage sustainability at the Stadium of Light whilst raising funds for SAFC's official charity partner, the Foundation of Light. 10% of the cups are currently incorrectly disposed of. We ask all supporters to please locate the correct purple bins for these cups and use them accordingly. Find out more information.

 

Click and Collect

 

Our click-and-collect system will also be available on bottled orders in the North and South stand. Supporters can use interactive screens to order collect immediately or at half time.

 

South Stand Ticket Checks

 

As a result of concerns raised by supporters in the South Stand there will be additional ticket checks in place for Saturday’s match. The checks will be in place to ensure only South Stand ticket holders enter the South Stand concourse area at half time. Supporters without a South stand ticket will be refused entry.

 

Supporters are requested to have their tickets ready for inspection when making their way onto the concourse.

 

Supporters are reminded that they must occupy the seat assigned to them on their ticket and that moving seats is a breach of ground regulations.

 

Vehicles will not be able to access the stadium site from 30 minutes prior to kick off until the fixture in question has started, with the stadium site once again locking down 30 minutes before the final whistle.
 
The roads will then reopen to vehicles wishing to depart or enter the stadium site once major crowds have dispersed, which typically takes 30-40 minutes after the conclusion of each game.
 
We thank supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter.
