Newcastle United fans react to reports that Sunderland will not offer refunds for games played behind-closed-doors

Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to react after their bitter rivals Sunderland announced that they will not be offering refunds to fans for games played behind-closed-doors this season.

The Black Cats are currently seventh in the League One table with nine games remaining, and finishing in top-six should the campaign resume is their only hope of returning to the Championship.

Sunderland have three home games left, but it will take place in an empty Stadium of Light if the season gets completed.

While they previously announced that season ticket holders would be refunded for the three games they will miss should the campaign be curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic, that won’t happen should the games go ahead, and only streaming pass to watch the games online will be handed out instead.
