EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1950s and witness a remarkable sight at Roker Park, home of Sunderland Associated Football Club. This print captures the excitement and innovation that flooded the stadium on December 6th, 1952. Standing tall amidst the cheering crowd is a towering pylon, reaching an impressive height of 75 feet. Its purpose? To illuminate the pitch with a battery of powerful lights for floodlit football. In an era where floodlights were still relatively new to football stadiums, this technological marvel brought a new dimension to the game for Sunderland fans. As darkness descended upon Roker Park, these bright beams transformed it into an electrifying arena where players showcased their skills under artificial light. The image evokes nostalgia for those who remember attending matches during this golden age of football. The pylon's presence symbolizes progress and modernity within sport as well as society itself. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, innovation was embraced wholeheartedly. This Memory Lane Print by ncjMedia Ltd transports us back to an era when passion filled every corner of stadiums like Roker Park. It encapsulates not only the spirit of Sunderland Football Club but also pays homage to all sports enthusiasts who have witnessed groundbreaking moments that forever changed how we experience our beloved games.
