I suppose the logic is that this may give pause to any Newcastle fans intent on destroying what is normally the home end.

However, I do feel sorry for the Sunderland fans here, especially those for whom football is their life.

It will cause more upset and toxicity now from
The home fans. It’s such an own goal. Silly silly thing to do. I’m amazed
 
Had to double check when I managed to see what this was about.

I could understand them perhaps blanking over the usual adornments (just put some plain white plastic sheet over it) but that is pretty unbelievable.

I think that must be the reason, although giving up a hospitality area to fans of a rival club is only going to lead to trouble. Not sure it’s worth the meltdown the Sunderland fans seem to be having however, genuinely wouldn’t care less if Boro did this

I agree to be honest. It’s just a function room, and I think I’d even welcome it if, for example, the opposition team were paying for it.

But I also know that to many, this bar isn’t just a function room, it’s sacred ground. Astounding that their owner hasn’t realised this, or worse has chosen to ignore it!
 
I think part of the issue is that this is/was also the “traditional” home end? Which raises an interesting question about how to deal with large allocations of away fans in “new” stadiums that were “designed” to have away fans behind one goal and have in recent years rejigged that configuration.

We seem to have been fortunate because the Riverside, whether by accident or design, allows multiple segregation options In the new away bit as well, so we can easily accommodate EFL, Premier League, league cup and FA Cup away quotas without doing anything drastic. So far as I can tell, Sunderland’s problem appears to stem from the fact that they can’t.
 
Wow, how to p!ss off hoards of mackems on the eve of their biggest game for nearly a decade. Not good. Probably added another spark to what could potentially be a tinderbox on Saturday. Utterly clueless owners they have up there.

I also wouldn't be surprised now if they desert their team at halftime when they're 0-3 down to the skunks.

Oh wait, they do that anyway...
