In the past, Sunderland has long been historically known as a vociferous, passionate and difficult place for away sides to come too. With the return of the Roker End, the Red and White Army would like to reinvigorate the Roker Roar within the SoL.

The independent and democratic SAFC supporters' group The Red and White Army are working with supporters in the Roker End to increase the sense of local identity, history and tradition to help build the atmosphere. We will be buying surfer flags, smaller flags, large banners and anything else supporters come up with that will look class and get the place going.

In essence, we need to harken back to the region's proud industrial heritage, celebrate the historic successes of the past and combine that with the new era of Sunderland. We are all proud of this history and the new step the club has taken over the last six months, and these flags will provide a visual representation of doleful devotion, historic pride and show that we are Sunderland.

Please give what you can and let's continue to make our club the best it can be. Thank you.

Sunderland 'til we die.
