The return of the Stadium of Light Fan Zone on Saturday proved to be a roaring success!
New owners Stewart Donald, Charlie Methven and Juan Sartori were in attendance as they soaked up the pre-match atmosphere, mingling with fans before taking to the stage to address everyone.
As well as that, club legend Kevin Ball took to the stage before a host of first-team faces, including Aiden McGeady and Reece James, took time out to sign autographs and have pictures with supporters.
