As a devoted Sunderland season ticket holder, I have witnessed how we have consistently limited access to other teams all season under health and safety grounds. This practice has been critical in ensuring the safety of all attendees. However, it has come to our attention that Newcastle United is being given access to the lower bowl - an action that not only raises serious safety concerns but also displaces Sunderland season ticket holders.

In recent years, there have been numerous reports of accidents and injuries in football stadiums due to overcrowding or improper seating arrangements (source: UK Health & Safety Executive). By allowing Newcastle United access to the lower bowl, we are potentially exposing fans to similar risks. Furthermore, this decision unfairly displaces loyal Sunderland season ticket holders who have supported our team through thick and thin.

We believe in fair play both on and off the pitch. We request that this decision be reviewed with immediate effect for the sake of fairness and most importantly, for everyone's safety. Please sign this petition if you agree that Newcastle United should not be given preferential treatment at the expense of Sunderland fans' safety and loyalty.
