Founders bar


Sports Bar ( pre Quinn’s) was when the SoL first opened.
Novelty wore off fast iirc.
Cant see it being a draw given the Sheepfolds nearby.
Remember playing table football in there while my dad looked about for the Leyton Orient kit on the wall. Great times!
 
It’s a bit naive of people expecting the club to create a bar and let Joe Public in for free once a fortnight or so during the season.
It may be just “entry level” corporate with no food, but its income for the club.
I wondered if BCB ticket holders would get moved into this and the club would then start on the BCB changes.
Aye.
Posters complaining about nowt being done for average joes etc. Average joes can already get a drink prematch if they want one.
 
Sunderland AFC is delighted to introduce ‘The Founders’ - a brand-new matchday experience, coming soon!
Located in the former club store, The Founders pays tribute to the pioneers who established the Club nearly 150 years ago, blending rich heritage with an enhanced matchday atmosphere.
Designed as a General Admission+ (GA+) experience, it will offer supporters with a standard match ticket the chance to upgrade their matchday experience with premium benefits, including extended access, an expanded food and beverage selection, and live entertainment.
Ahead of its official launch at our home fixture against Millwall on Saturday 29 March, the Club will host two trial events during our upcoming home games against Cardiff City and Preston North End to refine the experience.
The Founders will also be open to all supporters after Saturday’s game against Cardiff, offering a first chance to experience the new space.
Further details, including booking information, will be announced soon.

Thing was when it first opened there was nothing around it only the closed business units. Now you have stables, Hilton hotel, aquatic centre FOL and the other things opening soon + the bridge in August
