Comical claims emerge from Sky Sports as Sunderland complain about NUFC fans

by Olly Hawkins ·

According to Sky Sports' Keith Downie, Sunderland have cancelled several tickets in Wolves' away end for the final day of the season at the Stadium of Light - claiming many have 'fallen into the hands' of NUFC fans hoping to cause trouble.

As we all know, League One beckons for the Mackems, with Coleman's side 6 points from safety with just 3 games to go.

Cash turnstiles had been closed for Sunderland's last home game with Norwich in fear of Newcastle fans infiltrating the stadium to celebrate their demise, however, to this day, I'm not aware of a single Mag who had planned to do this.

NUFC (and Wolves) fans have since hit back following the latest claims from Sky (who seem to have nothing better to report on), explaining how inconceivable their latest claims appear to be:

NUFC's head of Marketing Communications Lee Marshall has got involved too, admitting how this just 'doesn't quite stack up' in response to Sky's claims today:
