Sunderland fans prepare for Nurdle Derby beach clean-up competition

Sunderland fans will participate in the Nurdle Derby starting September 1, a four-week beach clean-up competition against supporters from nine other North East clubs. The event is organized by Planet League in partnership with the Northumberland Wildlife Trust, aiming to tackle plastic pollution stemming from a recent nurdle spill in July. Fans can score points for their club by completing clean-up actions and uploading proof, competing for the Nurdle Trophy. The first week's opponent is Whitley Bay, with challenges escalating through Gateshead and concluding against Newcastle United in the final week. High turnout and participation are critical for a successful campaign.
