SUNDERLAND and Newcastle may be languishing at the bottom of the Premiership but their football stadiums both get top marks in a survey.

Hull's KC Stadium is top of the table with the Stadium of Light voted runner-up in a TV survey.

St James' Park was voted seventh.

More then 3,000 fans were asked to rate venues for comfort, services and view, placing Hull's KC Stadium way above the homes of their more prestigious Premiership rivals.

1. Hull. KC Stadium.

Light.

Stadium.
