Sunderland is now far from the Premier League since "Black Cats" managed to get out of the Championship last season and now compete in League One - the third place in English football.
However, Sunderland fans do not give up their club, so in Ligue One they follow their pets and guests, and the "Stadium of Light" is, as a rule, perfectly filled.
Yesterday Sunderland met Bradford in the 24th round and there were as many as 46,039 fans in the stands, a record-breaking visit to a third-place match in English football.
Not only that, the last night's Sunderland and Bradford duel followed 885 more than they followed the match between Tottenham and Bournemouth on Wembley.
Sunderland could still return quickly to the Championships, as it is currently third in the table with 46 points, four points less than Luton's second runner-up and five from Portsmouth. However, the aforementioned teams have two more matches than Sunderland.
