Sunderland AFC and the iconic Stadium of Light are renowned for hosting thrilling football matches and providing an unforgettable fan experience. However, one significant area that requires attention is the provision of drink options on matchdays. Currently, many supporters looking for a non-alcoholic lager option are faced with limited choices, primarily restricted to soft drinks or tea.

Diversity in beverage choice is crucial to ensure every fan feels included and valued at our matches. Whether they are designated drivers, individuals pursuing a healthier lifestyle, or fans who simply opt not to consume alcohol, they deserve to have a wider array of options that cater to their preferences. Offering alcohol-free beer would not only enhance their experience but also align with modern conveniences and inclusivity.

This change is vital in creating a more inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere at the Stadium of Light. Other major sporting venues and clubs across the globe have already embraced this shift, and it's time Sunderland AFC joins the ranks in promoting a more inclusive arena experience.

We call upon Sunderland AFC to take the proactive step in expanding their drink offerings by including non-alcoholic lager options. This move would symbolise the club's commitment to being in touch with the needs of its diverse spectator base. By doing so, Sunderland AFC would not only be catering to a broader audience but also setting a precedent for other clubs to follow.

Sign this petition to support a progressive change that acknowledges the diverse preferences of all Sunderland fans, ensuring everyone can enjoy matchdays to the fullest.
