FANS of Sunderland AFC based in the County Durham area can take advantage of regular transport runs to matches at the Stadium of Light.

The Langley Park branch of the Sunderland AFC Supporters' Association runs three buses to every home game, from different starting points.

Buses leave from The Stags Head, in Esh Winning, from the Rams Head, in Langley Park, and from the Newton Grange, in Newton Hall, Durham, at 12.30pm, for matches kicking off at 3pm.

There are pick-up points en route at The Salutation, in Framwellgate Moor, Durham, at the Grange Inn, at Carrville, on the outskirts of the city, while the Langley Park bus can, by arrangement, stop in Lanchester.

All buses aim to reach Sunderland by 1.30pm, with the cost of return travel £3 for adults, and £2 for juniors and OAPs, regardless of the stop.
