The day has finally arrived and so have Newcastle United fans, with a convey of buses arriving into Sunderland ahead of today’s 12.45pm kick-off at the Stadium of Light.
6,000 Mags have made the short trip to Wearside for our first local derby in seven and a half years, where Eddie Howe’s Newcastle take on Michael Beale’s Sunderland in the third round of the FA Cup.
After thousands of fans flocked to St James’ Park earlier this morning to board coaches to Sunderland, footage has now emerged all over social media of the Toon Army arriving at the Stadium of Light, with co-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi also filmed coming in to boos along with the Newcastle squad.
See the videos below, featuring chants like “it’s only full for Beyonce” and one Sunderland fan facetiming his Mam as he watches Newcastle supporters make their way into the stadium!
