I know I have already posted this in the premiership forum but I feel it should be given a bigger potential audience, these sunderland fans have been banned from supporting their club through no fault of their own and taken a pasting from the police as well.

I know there would be uproar here if the same thing happened to some of our travelling fans. The sunderland fans are really appreciative of the support from the online gooner forum. If you agree with the petition please sign it.
