Founded in 1994, the idea of four Newtonians, two of whom are still current members, the Branch was formed to provide affordable travel for Sunderland supporters to all of Sunderland AFC home games and suitable away games.
Still going strong with the same aims, travelling around, supporting our team and having a good time while doing so. We are a Branch with an excellent reputation within the Sunderland Football Community and we work closely with Officials at Sunderland Football Club to ensure that our Members get exclusive insights, deals and opportunities.
The Branch usually meets every first Thursday of the month at The Phoenix Club, Newton Aycliffe at 8.00pm. However, due to the current situation, all meetings were suspended in March last year and kept under review. All current members and anyone else expressing an interest are always most welcome.
Membership is £6 for the Season, however, due to the current situation, that we all found ourselves in which will not hopefully last forever, the Membership Fee together with all Branch Activity including the AGM, was suspended but will recommence as soon as it is considered safe and viable to do so when all restrictions have been lifted.
Last season home bus fares were £10 for adults, £8 for under 18’s and £5 for under 5’s but are under review.
Members all enjoy discounted fares at the rate of £8 for adults, £6 for under 18’s with senior citizens (Members who are over 65) receiving a double discounted fare down to £5 and £3 for under 5’s.
May we respectfully remind Members that your Current Membership will cease on 31/05/2021 and for those Members who have not re-joined you can still do so by completing this season’s membership Forms and even if we do not have a proper full-season you will still be recorded as a Member of The Branch.
If you are interested in joining, but cannot attend the meetings, please email SAFCNAB@gmail.com or contact us on Facebook (SAFC Supporters – Newton Aycliffe).
As always, thanks for your support.
