The Tyne and Wear Metro serves the Stadium via both Stadium of Light and St Peter’s stations.

AWAY PUBS
Two social clubs within a five minute walk of the Stadium of Light enthusiastically welcome away fans. Both The Sunderland Companions Club (39-41 North Bridge Street, SR5 1AH) and The New Democratic Club (34 North Bridge Street, SR5 1AH) get very busy on a matchday but they are exceptionally friendly venues offering an excellent selection of low-priced ales.
The Albion (Victor Street, SR6 0EN) is a five minute walk from the Stadium of Light and welcomes visiting fans – often laying on some snacks. The Colliery Tavern (12 Southwick Road, SR5 1EQ) has also previously enthusiastically welcomed Fulham fans and has very reasonably priced food.
The aforementioned Wearmouth Colliery Welfare (Thompson Road, SR5 2SD) has reached out to the Trust to advise us that they are situated within ten minutes walk of the away entrance and as well as providing free parking their most expensive pint is priced at a remarkable £3.09. The club will open at 5pm.
The Harbour View (1 Benedict Road, SR6 0NX) might be further away from the Stadium of Light but does offer breathtaking views of the coast and superb real ale, good food and big screen televisions.
Alternatively, the nearest Wetherspoons option is The William Jamieson (30-32 Fawcett Street, SR1 1RH) in Sunderland which gets very busy, but they do employ extra staff on a matchday to keep waiting times down.
Alcohol is available in the stadium with Carling lager (£4), Carling cider (£3.80), Worthington’s (£3.80), a wide array of wines (£3.90) as well as two pies and pints for £12.
