Sunderland’s Chief Operating Officer, Steve Davison, will leave Sunderland at the end of the current season.
During his time with the club Davison has been credited with helping Sunderland Women secure promotion to the Championship, bringing several concerts and England Women to the Stadium of Light as well as securing the SoL as the stadium to be used for the opener of the Women’s Rugby World Cup next year.
His tenure also saw the introduction of a cashless stadium and digital ticketing. He was also at the club when the recent announcement of improvements to several areas of the stadium were made, including 5G within the ground, new floodlights, a new PA system and safe standing.
However, the reaction amongst our fans to this news isn’t exactly one of sadness that he’s going but actually the opposite.
