Sunderland trip to West Brom rescheduled to allow for live Sky Sports coverage

Sunderland have had to reschedule another Championship fixture due to it being selected for live broadcast by Sky Sports.
The Black Cats have been regularly featured by Sky Sports this season, which is surely testament to the brand of football Tony Mowbray’s young side is producing.
They will be in front of the TV cameras once again in late April when they visit The Hawthorns to face West Brom.
The game was originally scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday April 22, but it has now been put back a day to April 23.
In addition, the game will now have the earlier kick-off time of 12noon.
“Sunderland AFC's trip to West Brom next month has been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports,” the club confirmed.
“Initially scheduled to take place on Saturday 22 April, the contest will now kick-off at 12noon on Sunday 23 April.
“Ticketing information will be released in due course.”
