SAFC risk setting precedent loyal fans are expendable - it shouldn't be like that Sunderland fans have been reacting with concern to some of the issues they have faced during the season ticket renewal period

Have put together a column on this if of interest.

Really disappointing at such a positive time for the club generally - Sunderland have set a very dangerous precedent in this renewal period

Sunderland backlash grows as loyal fans priced out and blocked from seat changes Long-serving Sunderland supporters raise concerns after being priced out of corporate packages and denied moves back to general admission seats.

Club getting this completely wrong imo.

The people who stood by the club during its absolute lowest ebb of the L1 era kept it going and should be treated with respect and empathy

The game can change quick and these people will still be there

I just watched Sunderland's dramatic loss to Aston Villa - this is what went wrong Sunderland were back in Premier League action against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon

On the Whistle analysis from Villa Park.

Incredible final fifteen minutes

Villa were mostly excellent but Sunderland were spirited and really should have won it. Then somehow lost it.

#SAFC have had a go in that first half and had some good moments.

Aston Villa's quality has just been a little too much so far, two excellent team goals worked so well in the wide areas.

Visitors still right in at the break, though.

Some on the whistle analysis from the SoL.

Big slice of luck for the goal but thought #SAFC thoroughly deserved that.

Controlled, attacking display. Better team even after taking the lead
