From the source

I thought I would have a look to see how many Sunderland fans were going to their big cup match tonight against Brentford.

For the previous round I knew the Stadium of Light was only half full (photo above), a crowd of 25,000 for their Carabao Cup third round match and that included a healthy few thousand Hull fans who saw their team lose 1-0.

As a Newcastle United fan I know that I’m getting excited about the possibilities now, if getting past Everton on Thursday night the possibility of playing the likes of Fleetwood or Peterborough for a place in the semi-final.
