| Daniel Roberts | Arsenal | We live in a country based on the freedoms of innocent until proven guilty - Sunderland AFC have put in place a guilty until innocent policy - shame on you. |
| David Schipper | S.S. Lazio | |
| David Gibbs | England | Having previously travelled home and away with Newcastle during my youth I've now moved onto following England home and away.
During my trips home and away with England I've never met a better group of supporters than the Sunderland follows who travel. I've also been to games where I've witnessed slightly heavy than neccessary Police tactics. Strange how the LAW itself seem to be above the LAW.
Are these not the same fans you assisted by taxing them home from Cardiff?????
GIVE THOSE FANS INVOLVED THE OPPERTUNITY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES BEFORE CASTING THEM OUT! |
| David Newham | Sunderland | Cannot understand this at all. |
| Robert Lee | The Blades | |
| Debbie Neville | Reading | |
| Graeme Messham | Wigan Athletic | Sunderland AFC are breaking a contract by banning fans who have not been found guilty. |
| Greg Dowling | shefffield united | Football fans must be afforded the same rights in a democrarcy where natural justice must seem to be operating. |
| Alex Males | Aston Villa FC | I believe in fair justice & these fans deserve proper justice from their club. |
| Paul Gennery | Leeds United | I hope this helps... |

| MARK HEATH | Sunderland AFC | IT IS A DISGRACE WHAT NORTHUMBRIA POLICE DID TO OUR FANS SO I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN YOUR PETITION |
| Jack Howlett | West Ham Utd | |
| Richard Lathan | Sunderland | The people who should be investigated are the police. Absolute disgraceful actions from start to finish, compounded by their repeated lies.
The only good thing to come out of this for me, is to open my eyes to the depths the once great British police force has sunk too. I am so disapointed with them. |
| Paul Hepple | Sunderland | |
| Hazel Potter | Bristol Rovers | |
| duncan poulson | sunderland | |
| Stephen Byrne | Manchester United | It's about time the Police treated us like human beings, we are not cattle. |

| Rob Jeffery | Hereford United | |
| Gavin Nolthorpe | arsenal | |
| charles howard | BURNLEY | Supporting my fellow football fans. |
| John Rowell | Sunderland | Niall, you are rightly revered as a legend by Sunderland fans but this is not only blatantly wrong but so out of character for a man who once paid the taxi fare for fans from Cardiff after they'd been thrown off an Easyjet flight. Come on Quinny, do the right thing. |
| K Hughes | Liverpool | |
| jason brown | burnley | good luck |
| Thomas Padget | Swindon Town FC | |
| dean ditchburn | sunderland | |
| michael green | wolves | don't tar all football fans with the same brush.we are not all hooligans. |
| stephen pitcher | Burnley | Disgraceful, surely the principal of innocent until found guilty should apply. |
| John Craven | Burnley | In the eyes of the law they have done nothing illegal. |
| Ian Gibson | Sunderland | The club should only impose it's own sanctions after guilt has been proved in a court of law. Police and stewards, like referees, make mistakes. |
| Richard Tandy | Burnley | |
| David Farrar | Burnley | Innocent until proved guilty is a basic principle of justice. |
| Craig Lavender | Sunderland | |

| Adrienne Shaw | Sunderland | |
| Phil Stokes | Swindon Town | |
| Greg Ashman | Swindon Town | Had my own bad experiences enough to know truth from spin, when it comes to the boys in blue and football fans. |
| Lee McGuire | Sunderland | |
| Martin Wanless | Sunderland | Innocent until proven guilty Niall. Do the decent thing and revoke this decision until convictions are made. Disgraceful action by a club who says it's in tune with the fans. Actions speak louder than words, and by joining the police in this preposterous witch hunt and helping them cover the truth you are doing untold damage to your relationship with the supporters of SAFC. |
| Ian O'Donnell | Reading | |
| NICK MCNEIL | BURNLEY | no prosecutions, no evidence therfore no bans!! |
| Debra Jones | Arsenal | |
| richard charnley | stoke city | |
| Philip Moston | Doncaster Rovers | |
| Paul Hepburn | CPFC | Disgraceful knee %%@% over-reactionary abuse of power to protect what he thinks are the 'business interests' of the corporations that football teams have become...
FANS ARE FOOTBALL...SUNDERLAND WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THEM |
| Chippy Clockend | Arsenal | Yet again football fans being vilified and treated as scum through no fault of there own, Peoples game dont make me laugh those days are long gone, This is a travesty and good Luck to all involved, I met Niall on a few occasions when the players used to walk in through the back of the clockend,He was a top man and hopefully will see sense over this. |
| Martin Barnes | Burnley | This is completely unfair, and I call for the immediate reversal of the decision. Clubs need to treat fans like human beings, not 2nd class citizens. |
| JOANNE GREEN | DONCASTER ROVERS | Its time football considered its fans. Its getting ridiculous stewards, policing & clubs can do what they want and the supporter has no rights and receive no respect anymore. What is happening!!!! |
| Richard Hibbs | Wolverhampton Wanderers | |
| Ron Cobain | Sunderland | |
| Ryan Hicks | Liverpool | Another police carve up!?? Justice will prevail. |
| Richard White | Chelsea | Once again it appears that you lose all human rights when you put a football scarf around your neck. Society would not tolerate this discrimination against any other minority group so why football fans? |
| Paul Young | Burnley FC | Ridiculous decision, hope the Club see sense and overturn it. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? |
| Paul Young | Burnley FC | Innocent until proven guilty! Absolutely ridiculous, hope the Club see the error of their ways, and overturn this decision! |
| Phillip Bailey | Burnley | Once again all supporters tarred with the same brush does it never occur to all clubs vast majority of supporters go just to enjoy football and not be persecuted. |
| Ginmette Bentley | Sunderland | |
| Michael Wells | burnley | |
| david beverley | scunthorpe united | ISit not true that you are innocent until proven guilty in this country |
| Paul Martin | Sunderland | |
| Ian Haq | Sunderland | Niall, there are parallels here with the incident involving Easyjet in 2007. Your support of those fans went down in folklore. Don't these fans deserve the same regard. |
| Tom Trueman | Sunderland | Sunderland AFC are in danger of losing the goodwill built up over the past few seasons by this unfair and arbitrary action. |
| Robert Roberts | Liverpool | |
| Ashley Hern | Sunderland | |
| jamie goodwin | doncaster rovers | |
| Mark Hutton | Dulwich Hamlet FC | listen to what your fans are saying |
| Russ Poole | Arsenal | Fully supported and have a word with the police nationally over some of their behaviour in situations like this up and down the country. |
| Wayne Hopkins | Arsenal | |
| Jack Hobbs | Oxford United | |
| Tony Shippen | Sunderland | So much for innocent until proven guilty. The club should reimburse them for the missing games. It's not like they will miss the money. |
| Robert Teasdale | Sunderland | |
| Sarah Robson | Sunderland | |
| john robison | sunderland | innocent until found guilty is the foundation of our law |
| andrew grendale | sunderland afc | |
| Liam Burnham | Sunderland | Innocent until proven otherwise Niall, it's served the country well for nigh-on 800 years up until now and it should apply here. The behaviour of Northumbria Police in this affair has been nothing short of a disgrace and an affront to natural justice.
Stay on the side of fairness. |
| Damian Yarker | Man Utd | |
| Nigel Cowperthwaite | Preston | |
| tim spoors | sunderland | innocent until proven guilty??? |
| Cllr Brian Lomax OBE | Northampton Town | |
| Colin Barson | Oxford United | Sadly, this is very typical of the way football supporters are treated, week in, week out, by the police. They are allowed to get away with treating us as second class citizens and it is time the public at large realised what is going on. |
| Anthony O'Hara | Donny Rovers | Having been in the wrong place at the wrong time on a few occasions although many, many years ago in a different era. Things could have turned out so differently for me. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!! INCLUDING YOU MR QUINN. |
| Luke Southworth | Preston NE | |

| stephen bailey | cardiff city | |
| Malcolm Bush | Sheffield Wednesday | I always thought that you were innocent until proven guilty! Mr Quinn, you obviously think that you know all that happened on that day and are acting as judge, jury and prosecution.
Wake up man, you are not, never have and never will be, so stop acting is if you are and let these fans back into the ground. You have done a lot for Sunderland F.C., so stop spoiling it. |
Don't just leave it there! you must know dozens of people who feel the same way about this as you do. Spread the word, use our sharing oprions below and tell them about the campaign. Fans are the most important people in football. We have to make sure our voice is heard.
