Blackburn Rovers have confirmed that they will cover costs for all Sunderland supporters using official SAFC-arranged transport to get to the rearranged game on February 15, can do so free of charge as a goodwill gesture.
The match should originally have been played on Wednesday 28th December but was called off around two hours prior to kick off – when most fans had already arrived in Blackburn – because Rovers’ undersoil heating had apparently failed and the pitch was frozen.
In addition, Rovers fans who buy a ticket for the rearranged game will receive a £5 discount on any home fixture played after our rearranged game with them.
Any supporter who has a valid match ticket can take up the offer; if you wish to do so, you need to get a coach ticket IN ADVANCE – the deadline is 5.30pm on Wednesday 8th February (ie one week before the game). To get your coach ticket, either go to the SoL ticket office or call 0845 671 1973.
On the day of the game, supporters using the SAFC coaches should be at the SoL for 1.30pm latest; only those with a valid coach ticket will be allowed on board, and no alcohol is allowed.
