Sunderland West End FC is inviting families from Washington, Tyne and Wear, to a community football day on Saturday, 8 February 2026. The event aims to provide a low-cost afternoon of entertainment for local residents at the John G. Hogg Stadium, part of the Ford Quarry Football Hub.
The afternoon will feature a Northern League Division Two match against Chester-le-Street Town (the “Cestrians”), with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM. To make the day more appealing to families, the club is organising family-friendly activities and a free raffle for all attendees.
The match takes place at the Ford Quarry facility on Keelmans Lane, Sunderland (the venue is referred to in some sources as the Ford Quarry Football Hub, Ford Quarry Hub or Ford Quarry Complex). The site offers 3G all‑weather pitches and café/bar facilities intended to make matchdays welcoming in most weather conditions.
Organisers say the Community Day is intended to give local people an affordable way to support grassroots football. Sunderland West End expect adult entry to be an estimated £5–£6, with discounts often available for children; this figure is an estimate from the club and should be confirmed via the club’s official channels before travel.
