Another ticket update after sell-out announcement as Sheffield Wednesday welcome Sunderland

The Black Cats arrive hoping to continue a strong start to their Championship campaign and will face-off against a Wednesday side hoping to fight their way to a first win of the season.

On Monday evening it was announced that Sunderland’s initial allocation of over 3,600 away fans was sold out for the clash, which will be televised live on Sky Sports.

But an extra 281 tickets have now been released to the Wearside club - with high expectations they will be snapped up in short order.

“Sheffield Wednesday are fighting for their lives at the moment,” Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray said over the weekend.

“They are having some results that they will want to improve on. So we know that they will be right up for the next game and they have a big stadium, big crowd, emotional and passionate supporters.”

Mowbray continued: “We have to go there and make life difficult for them and see if we can dominate and see if we can find a way to win.

“We have been doing that okay over recent weeks and so we will go there with the belief and the confidence that we can go to Sheffield and win. That said, we know it is going to be tough.”
