But this time it will not be on the football pitch or the terraces, but on the internet in a bidding war for two directors’ box tickets for their forthcoming match.
Jersey Hospice has set up a special auction website where various items will be offered to the highest online bidder to raise money for the charity.
This month’s offering is two directors’ box tickets, two executive club passes and reserved parking at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light for their match with Chelsea on Sunday 15 January.
