Pictures taken on a stroll around the Stadium of Light in Sunderland
The Stadium of Light is 49000 seater football stadium in Sunderland. According to Sir Bob Murray then chairman of Sunderland F.C. the name Stadium of Light "was chosen for two main reasons; namely as an ever-lasting tribute to the region's mine-workers and proud industrial heritage and in the expectation that the stadium would be a guiding light in the future. The name is very much a symbolic link to the thousands of miners and Sunderland supporters that emerged from the darkness and into the light every day when they returned to the surface after working in the mine." A Davy lamp monument stands at the entrance to reflect the coal mining industry that brought prosperity to the town.
The stadium is built on the site of Monkwearmouth Colliery (or Wearmouth Colliery) which was a major North Sea coal mine located on the north bank of the River Wear, located in Sunderland. It was the largest mine in Sunderland and one of the most important in County Durham in northeast England. First opened in 1835 and in spite of the many accidents at the pit, the mine was the last to remain operating in the County Durham Coalfield. The last shift left the pit on December 10, 1993, ending over 800 years of commercial coal mining in the region. The Colliery site was cleared soon afterwards, and the Stadium of Light, the stadium of Sunderland A.F.C., was built over it, opening in July 1997 to replace nearby Roker Park.

Managers and football players come and they go. The one constant is the dedicated football fans who stick by there team through thick and thin. Bournemouth fans had a 700 mile round trip to see their team. Today was a thin day for Sunderland fans as we really needed a win. Sunderland 1 Bournemouth 1.

New to United as their 4022 in August 1993, and later to see service with Arriva Durham County, DAF SB220/Optare Delta has had a new lease of life as an active bus with the Sunderland AFC Foundation. It is pictured in the centre of Sunderland on July 26th 2012.

As we leave the Stadium of Light after watching a marvellous victory, Sunderland 3 Aston Villa 1, I come upon another lost glove for the collection.

Match Days are always a treat for bus enthusiasts at Sunderland - though I'd question how much football fans like going to match days after so many terrible results from the Black Cats lately! We'll not go into Martin O'Neill getting the sack as the club's manager, shall we..?
With more vehicles yet to come, the line-up of Park & Ride vehicles grows longer. Perhaps the most notable thing about this photo is the four and fifth vehicles in the line-up! In place of a Stagecoach in Newcastle (Walkergate depot) Enviro 400, we see an extra Stockton Olympian, and in place of another Stagecoach in Sunderland vehicle, we see a Stagecoach in South Shields ALX200 Dart!
I couldn't resist including some reference to SAFC within the shot also - so try and spot the black cat! ;-)
went for a drive and pulled up at the sunderland training ground and took a couple of pics. Hope you guys like it
