First Game

Sunderland 0-0 Bradford City, Division 1 03/10/1998

Don't remember a single thing about the game but it was my 5th birthday and my name was in the match programme so presumably I was there.

Best Game

Manchester United 2-1 Sunderland (1-2 after penalties), League Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg 22/01/2014

The game had everything; a goalkeeping howler late in extra-time, conceding directly from the restart and a comedic penalty shootout to book the clubs first cup final since 1992. We lost the final but that doesn't really matter.

Worst Game

Southampton 8-0 Sunderland, Premier League 18/10/2014
Ha'way the Lads

Accrington Stanley A-A Sunderland, League One 08/12/2018
December, open end, match abandoned due to a rainstorm, no trains back.

It's quaint, full end behind the goal, everyone is friendly and Fulham tend to be middling at best so you might win there.

Away end is at the side of the pitch and the view can be obstructed by beams if you're unlucky. Somehow despite being in Greater London manages to be difficult to get to if you're travelling north of Victoria.
