FOOTBALL fans can follow in the footsteps of their Sunderland heroes by taking part in a match at the Stadium of Light.
Throughout May the stadium, home to the premier league club, is giving fans the rare opportunity to take part in a series of Play on the Pitch events.
It has added extra dates to meet demand from Black Cats supporters keen to play on the hallowed turf.
The 60-minute matches, already scheduled for May17, 18 and 19, will now also be held on May 25 and 26, giving footie fans an extra chance to compete in a 15-strong team and even be voted Man of the Match.
Players will enjoy use of the team’s dressing room and take part in a warm-up session before running out onto the pitch for the hour-long match against an opposing team.
To register a team, at a cost of £1250 plus VAT, or for further information about these and other events at the Stadium of Light email hospitality@safc.com or call 0871-911-1555.
