South Shields Daily Pictures
Tickets please
Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 27 March 2010 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Please stick with me as I indulge myself with one of the other loves of my life, Sunderland AFC, who play their football (soccer) in the English Premier League.
Today I start at the beginning of a photo story showing some of the fans and peripherals around a game at the 48,800 seater Stadium of Light, all the pictures were taken on Saturday 20th. March 2010 when Sunderland defeated Birmingham City by a 3 - 1 scoreline. Unfortunately I won't be showing pictures from inside the stadium during the game because of some weird image copyrights held by the club and the Premier League.
South Shields lies in between Sunderland and Newcastle and the football fans here are evenly split between the north-east's two major teams, I've followed Sunderland since I was a very young boy and have experienced both joy and heartbreak as a result.
Here fans queue at the ticket office at the Sunderland Stadium of Light to get last minute seats.
