Help me plan a day in Sunderland

Midfield
I'm not a season ticket holder and live in Surrey, so my chances of getting a match ticket seems to be slim to none at the moment. However my kids are keen to see Sunderland in the Premier League and so I thought I might drive up for the Leeds match, before going across to Cumbria to visit family.

Where would the best place for the kids (12 and 11) to experience the pre-match atmosphere?
Would I be able to get access to the Fan Zone without a match ticket?
Will there be anywhere in the town showing the match that is kid friendly?
Anywhere else I should take them?

Just seen on another thread that some tickets may be come available, so will be watching that closely!

Need a purchase history from last season to purchase a ticket for this

Beacon of Light Fanzone is free to everyone

Sheepfolds or town will have it on

Walk over the new footbridge aswell

You will need a purchase history from last year I believe.
Start by the beach, have a bite to eat and a cuppa then head up to the stadium spend a mortgage worth of cash in the club shop then Take them to the fans museum pre match, any pub in Sunlun with sky will have the game on, popular venues like port of call in the town or closer to the ground down Roker ave, Navy club, Avenue, Harbour view etc.
I’m sure some will come up with better options but there’s a starter pack for you.
 
Are you coming up to Sunlan by train ?

If so get off Metro at St Peters Metro ( NOT the Stadium of Light metro)

Very near to St Peters Metro is the Fans Museum .

Then go to the SAFC Club Shop for all the kids pressies .

Good luck

If you’re organised you can get a ticket for every home game apart from Leeds & Newcastle. Just be ready when the tickets are released. Only Man City I’ve missed out on

Why not come for a game when you can get tickets?

As has been mentioned, the Sheepfolds is canny if you've got kids. Fan museum. The Stack of you don't mind a walk and a metro
