What We Offer

As well as the usual complete range of emotions from desperation to elation, that go hand in hand with being a Sunderland supporter, we offer the following to our members:-

Tickets

The Branch orders tickets for home and away matches. Whilst there is no guarantee that applications will be successful, we have a good relationship with the ticket office and have built up loyalty points through our regular orders.
This benefits those members who are unable to attend every game as it is almost impossible for individuals to acquire tickets for away games without the required loyalty points.
Matches at the Stadium of Light are also selling out and whilst many branch members have season tickets we apply for tickets for home games as a branch so that members without season tickets sit together.

Transport

The Heart of England Branch tries to organise transport to some games for its members. If there is sufficient demand the branch can lay on a coach or minibus to some home games, cost to members is currently £20 adults £15 juniors. All departures start from Coventry, normally at 8:30am for a 3:00pm kick off.
Members also liaise to share lifts to games when branch organised transport is impracticable.

Other Benefits

Monthly branch meetings are held in Coventry when members get together to share their love of the Wearsiders. Social events and "meet the players" evenings are also organised.  Most recently we had a visit from Jimmy Montgomery and Dick Malone.

We also publish a newsletter “Turnips are Big and Purple” on an occasional basis
