'Promotion party in Blackpool' - Sunderland fans react to 2021/22 League One fixture list

Sunderland fans have already penned in their promotion party on the final day of the League One campaign at Morecambe.

The tongue in cheek tweet from one fan has set pulses going as we begin the countdown to the new season.

The Black Cats will host Wigan Athletic at the Stadium of Light in just over a months time.

The Wearsiders finished last season in fourth place and need no reminder of how they stumbled over the line into the play-offs before they were beaten in the semi-final by Lincoln City.

However, Sunderland fans are keen to banish the demons of last season and have one aim in mind this year, promotion.

Allan Davis said: "Morecambe away last game of the season. Promotion party in Blackpool."

Tom Crangle also believes that Sunderland have a relatively kind end to the season, he said: "A blessed April run in. I always look at he run in don't know why."

Sunderland fans believe it's written in the stars that their former captain will score a late goal against the Black Cats, following his return to the Latics.

Graham Stewart tweeted: "Incoming 95 minute Max Power screamer from 35 yards can see it now."

Thomas Cole was willing to be money on the former Sunderland man scoring, he tweeted: " A tenner says Power will score. £50 for it to be a 30 yard screamer."

Connor Smith said: "Max Power 90 yarder incoming."
