Sunderland AFC Stadium of Light Away Fans With Sunderland once again a Premiership side and with increased attendances, the overall feel and atmosphere of the stadium has greatly improved. When people ask me which grounds are 'the best' to visit, then Sunderland inevitably comes out as one of my top five recommendations. On its day the place can be rocking, the PA system deafening (especially when the classical piece 'Dance Of The Knights' from Prokofiev's 'Romeo & Juliet' is played before the players come on to the pitch at the start of the game and U2's 'Elevation', as the teams come out of the tunnel) and the Sunderland supporters exceptionally friendly (I was even given a Sunderland shirt by one supporter!). But bear in mind you are not allowed to smoke or swear inside the stadium. If you persist with either you may find yourself being ejected from the ground! Away fans are located in the South Stand at one end of the stadium, where around 3,000 fans can be housed. The facilities and views of the playing action from this stand are excellent. On the food front, the delicious 'Football's Famous Chicken Balti Pie' (Ł2.10) is available inside the stadium, along with pasties (Ł2.10), sausage rolls (Ł1.60), cheese burgers (Ł2.60), chicken burgers (Ł2.70) and hot dogs (Ł2.50). Alcohol is also available at Ł2.60.
