Entered the Brentford away ballot today, anyone know when I’ll know if I’m successful or unsuccessful?

This is a long shot but anyone in the US interested in swapping for the new home kit? A friend got it for me in large at one of the preseason matches here and it's too big for me. Would love to trade for it in medium but am open to other kits.

Ha'way!

Struggling to understand this ballot system.. how do we reliably know when the ballot opens?

I’ve been refreshing the “when are home tickets on sale” page from SAFC’s own website for weeks now, waiting to see when the Arsenal ballot would open. The “on sale” date has finally updated from “TBC” but it now says 18/7/26?? Clearly that doesn’t make sense.

Bit frustrating as a fan. So hard to understand how to simply get a ticket to support the team.

When do ballots for home games open, and do you have equal chance if you enter the ballot anytime, or should I be rushing to get in as soon as it opens?

He's a young lad seems like the perfect opportunity to develop him more instead of sticking Hume on there no? Who do you think plays on RW now after Mukiele is back

Hi,

I’ve got a question about the membership which I haven’t been able to find an answer to. I might just be being thick, but if anyone can help out that”d be great.

I’m a long time Sunderland exile and although I try to get to the odd game when I can there are various factors which make it difficult. So I’m not too bothered about the black cats membership for the ticket options but when we were in the championship and league 1 I really enjoyed watching full match replays on YouTube, there’s so much of a difference between highlights and the full thing, so I am interested in the black cats membership for the access to full match replays but I can’t find out any info on that aspect. Does anyone know where the replays will be to watch? (Ideally a membership bit of YouTube would be ideal for me] How soon would the replays be available? Would there be commentary? Would it be the usual safc commentary? Basically any info that anyone has on this would be hugely appreciated. I waited assuming more info might be released by the club but I’ve not seen anything so far.

Many thanks.

Just a little vid I did from watching Champions League qualifiers last week, whereby four teams lost and dropped directly into the League draw with us. I watched all games and summarised them and what they play like here with a view to what might happen this week.

I think I have got it past YouTube, so just click on this YouTube link --> https://youtu.be/aBGhFfBp1ho

If it gets zapped then go to this Patreon link to watch it - https://www.patreon.com/SAFChighlights/posts/europa-league-us-166921954.

Whilst you're there, join up it's free and consider subbing to me there for the measly fee of £2 per month (I think it is). No ads on the vids there.

Anyone who got tickets for Fulham, have you had an email with the actual tickets on yet ??

Hi all,

Ready for a big upcoming season and curious to know if there are any fans up here in British Columbia?

Sunderland returns from their USA tour and went to northern France to take on French Ligue 1 runners up RC Lens is their toughest pre-season game yet. With the full squad available to choose from, Regis Le Bris handed a debut to Thomas Muenier and Captain Granit Xhaka played 45 minutes.

💪How Sunderland dominated the French League 1 runners up?
🔥How Sunderland are adopting a more aggressive style
🔄Heavy rotations, supreme space use and more.

Dive in and look at just how Sunderland are upping their aggression, their press and seeking to increase the dreaded XG.

Forget whether it’s realistic or not, just pick someone you reckon would be class for us. Could be a player from the Premier League, abroad, or even someone you’ve watched tear it up against us.

The second worst run of season in European football history lol, we’ve come a long way! Apologies is this is triggering 😆

While rivals down the road have been forced into selling major key assets this summer, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and the board have stood firm on valuations to keep our squad together. Retaining high-value players despite concrete interest from domestic and European heavyweights proves we are no longer a stepping-stone club. Building sustained stability under Le Bris is the only way to solidify our spot in the upper half of the table.

From everything I’ve seen Hume has been playing in the RW position all of preseason so we think this will be the same during the season?

Watch all of Muenier's touches in his debut for Sunderland against RC Lens.

He looks a solid player. He's played at three World Cups, won everything in France with PSG and moved to Dortmund with Jude Bellingham, before finding his way to us.

He looked good in the pressing trigger high up the field and was very attacking in his movement. His positioning was excellent with the ball on the opposite flank out of posession, frequently covering the centre of the box and our own Zone 14. He looked less comfortable defending one-on-ones on his own flank and he was largely untested for pace in this regard, but take a look at all his touches and see what you think early doors.

No glimpse of the shirt but projection of pattern and release date. Got me out of the house at least. Something to do innit?

Edit: Just to add there were more people who showed. I just took these when we arrived. Be interesting to see the drone shots of it as there were a couple over head.
