STOKE CITY will have tickets on sale for this evening's Barclays Premier League match against Sunderland until 12.30pm today.

These will be available from the Britannia Stadium Ticket up to lunchtime, but supporters can pay on the turnstiles at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland officials are confident that the game will go ahead this evening despite snowfall in the North East over the weekend.

Areas surrounding the stadium have been cleared of snow and ice, and the forecast is for milder conditions later in the day.

The game, which is being televised live by ESPN, kicks off at 8.00pm tonight.
