Relegation-threatened Sunderland have announced reductions to their season-ticket prices for the 2016-17 campaign.

The Black Cats are the second Premier League club to take the step after West Ham did so as a result of the record television rights deal.

"Keeping the cost of watching football at a realistic level is something that is very topical at present," said chief executive Margaret Byrne.

Liverpool scrapped plans for a £77 matchday ticket after protests by fans.

The Anfield club's dearest ticket will now stay at £59 and the highest season-ticket price is also frozen, after thousands of fans left 77 minutes into the draw with 19th-placed Sunderland on 6 February.

Adult season tickets at the Stadium of Light will start at £350, down by £20, and would compare favourably even if they were relegated to the Championship, where Hull's cheapest season ticket is £531.

I don't for one minute think they have the fans at heart.

Sunderland are selling tickets while in a relegation battle so are trying to incentivise the fans to still buy.

As for WHU it's quite easy to.promote yourself as reducing ticket prices when you are also doubling the size of your stadium.

to be fair, its £20 cheaper, which is a token amount, and they could do much better than that if they had the desire, but better than nothing i suppose. the way that club is going, any raise in price would cause anger amongst the fans.
