SUNDERLAND striker Luke Molyneux will unveil a football club's new stand tomorrow.
Shildon AFC’s new 200-seat covered stand was made possible thanks to a £57,027 grant from the Premier League through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF) – the largest funders of non-league football in the country.
The grant has enabled Shildon AFC, who play at Step 5 in the EBAC Northern League Division One, to significantly improve the matchday experience for their supporters by replacing the upper seated section of an old dilapidated stand with brand new facilities.
As official partner of Shildon AFC, the Sunderland AFC Foundation of Light Academy also play at the site and will benefit from the improvements.
Mr Molyneux will open the stand at 4pm.
