Sunderland Thread

 

Great day on the beer in Bradford, cracking ground and brilliant atmosphere

 

I'm surprised it's not called off due to the international callups

 

Enjoyed tonight we played some quality football and Aido had a sound game.

Sunderland's iconic Beacon of Light will join landmarks across the UK this month in lighting up red in support of Show Racism the Red Card's Wear Red Day 2018.

The annual day of action, now in its fourth year, will take place in England and Wales on Friday 19th October and encourages schools, businesses and individuals to wear red and fundraise to support the delivery of anti-racism education for young people and adults throughout the UK.
Every penny raised during #WRD2018 enables the campaign to work with more young people and adults across the UK to challenge racism in society.
Several North East venues including Sunderland City Council buildings, St Mary's Lighthouse (Whitley Bay), The Bowes Museum (Teesdale), St Nicholas' Cathedral, Victoria Tunnel and Rotunda Council Chambers (Newcastle) will also be lit red.

Phil King, Beacon of Light General Manager, said: "Foundation of Light is a proud supporter of Show Racism the Red Card and its work in educating our young and tackling racism in our communities.

"We can't wait to light up the skyline red alongside other iconic landmarks and would urge everyone to show racism the red card by supporting this great cause and by proudly wearing red on the 19th October."
Show Racism the Red Card Chief Executive, Ged Grebby, added: "Wear Red Day is now an annual fixture in the Show Racism the Red Card calendar and we are asking that where possible public buildings are lit up Red on Wear Red Day 2018.

"Sunderland AFC's official charity Foundation of Light is turning the Beacon of Light red and we are asking other football clubs to follow suite."
