Ed’s Note [Phil]: Hi, Peter. Thank you for your letter.
The atmosphere inside the Stadium of Light — pre, during and post-Saturday’s thriller with Arsenal — was one for the ages and I really felt it showcased our home stadium as we know it can be: raucous and fuelled by unrestrained pride in our club and the players who represent it.
As a result of exceptional recruitment, some superb results and a team spirit that’s growing ever stronger, Sunderland AFC is now making an impact at the highest level — and it’s unbelievably exciting for everyone connected with the club.
The connection between the fanbase and the club itself is as strong as — if not even stronger — than I can recall at any time during the past thirty years, and long may it continue!
