Approximately 1,500 Cardiff fans are expected to make the long journey to watch the Bluebirds take on Mick McCarthy's improving Black Cats at the largest stadium in the football league.

Many fans are making a short break of the trip and staying in hotels not only in Sunderland but also in Newcastle and surrounding areas. The North East police are treating the game with extreme caution, and it has the same category as a local derby with the Magpies or the Smoggies
( Middlesboro' )....

Cardiff have three tough fixtures starting with then Sunderland game on Tuesday night, followed by trips to Coventry and the visit of West Ham on 25th October ( both of which are live on SKY TV ). Cardiff will have been live on the satellite tv more than any other league side this season!

Sam always said we were bigger than Barcelona!

Full report to follow ( sometime on Wednesday night!!! )
