# Sunderland: Fans delighted with new partnership

**Sunderland fans are delighted with the news that the club have signed a partnership Molson Coors Beverage Company in collaboration with Maxim Brewery.**

The Black Cats are preparing for the new League One season – they will host Wigan Athletic on August 7th. This term, fans will finally be able to return to stadiums across the nation after a long spell away from grounds due to the coronavirus pandemic – something that many will be eagerly looking forward to.

The Stadium of Light will be at full capacity for the first game of the new term ([Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/stadiums-england-set-return-full-capacity-july-19-2021-07-05/)), and it seems the club themselves are preparing for the return of supporters. They have now signed a new deal with the brewery ([safc.com](https://www.safc.com/news/club-news/2021/july/molson-coors-collaboration)), and the partnership will also see the North Stand renamed as the Carling Stand.
