From today Sunderland will not allow away fans to take coins

From today Sunderland will not allow away fans to take coins into the stadium ‘following the recent conduct of a small minority of away supporters.’ Any coins found on travelling supporters will be confiscated and donated to a charity nominated by the away team.

That can’t be right in this day and age re civil rights etc. Not everybody is cashless. Put away fans in lower tier for a start. Do they round everything up in the concourse bars to not give change?

like to see how that is going to happen legally and practically.

Sunderland’s costs include £4.10 for a pint, £3.10 for a pie So if you pay by cash you could be chucked out for accepting your change

The ground is cashless.

I use cashless and much prefer it but I wouldn’t throw my phone at anyone

Cashless is facism

I do question the legality of this but, on the flip side, any club (or business for that matter) can refuse entry without giving any reason

An interesting point would be if you took a tenner into the ground with you and bought food/drink costing £6.50 would they give £3.50 worth of change???

The Stadium is contactless like ours.You can’t use cash.

This seems to imply that they will allow home fans to have coins. If so, the travelling club must complain to the Sunderland and the EFL about this blatant discrimination. Starting with us. (Some hope. Choo and his cronies are too busy doing other things)

Well if the douche bags didn't chuck coins in the first place non of this would have popped up

Whilst what you say is undoubtedly true do you not think that the real answer is to identify and prosecute the persecutors rather than tar every travelling fan with the same brush.
You wouldn't close a library because a few individuals deface books, or make all customers stand outside a shop because a person shoplifts etc.
As for cashless, it certainly doesn't suit everyone and this relentless push towards it is both unnecessary and discriminatory.

Also Sunderland might help the situation themselves by changing the area in which away supporters are housed.

Agree in theory but keeping a library open won’t risk someone losing an eye or similar, if you get my gist.
