Finally it looks like the club is starting to go back to normal order, announcing vastly improved opening times for both the Ticket Office and the Club Shop.
In a statement released via the club’s website, a message said:
“From Monday 22 August, the Stadium of Light Ticket Office’s standard opening hours will be as follows: 10am-5pm, Monday to Friday.”
“The Ticket Office will also be open on home match days until kick-off. In addition, the Stadium of Light Club Store’s standard opening hours will be as follows from Monday 5 September: 10am-5pm, Monday to Saturday.”
“The process to appoint additional ticketing and retail staff to support and enhance SAFC’s existing supporter services is also underway, with several new starters already in place. Long-term, the Club is planning to establish a single location for the Ticket Office and Club Store, which will continue to be accessible to supporters in line with the opening hours above.”
The news released will no doubt give all SAFC fans relief, and is another step in the right direction. One thing to note is that Chris Waters, SAFC's Head of Supporter Engagement & Supporter Liaison Officer deserves our praise. He has been one of the people going above and beyond for fans to enjoy supporting the club, making it feel less like a chore. So thanks Chris, and thank you Sunderland for finally starting to run your club in the correct manner, it's about time.
