NEWCASTLE FAN HELPS SUNDERLAND FANS AHEAD OF WEAR TYNE DERBY

Newcastle United fan Matthew Coxon was thrilled when he won tickets to this Sunday’s big Wear Tyne derby in an EA Sports competition this week.

Matthew CoxonUnfortunately for Matthew, the tickets were for home fans at the Stadium of Light so he very generously donated them to help the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

They will now be used by a father and son, both Sunderland fans, who will be making a donation to support our work as a thank you.

We hope the derby, such an important North East football fixture, is an entertaining one and our thanks to Matthew for thinking of us.
