The Sunderland Echo's Phil Smith is dragging On The Whistle kicking and screaming right into the new season (with a little help from his friends).

Phil will be joined by BBC Radio Newcastle's Sunderland commentator and sage on all things red-and-white, Nick Barnes. They'll be looking forward to the Black Cats' forthcoming domestic season, Europa League involvement. No doubt with some worship of Enzo Le Fee's wand of a right boot along the way.

Tickets are £10 and we'll be sorting you out with a pie and pint supper and interesting chat on all things Sunderland AFC.

Please note:

Filming and audio recording will be taking place.

Seating is allocated on a first come, first served basis. There will also be standing room around the bar.
