Pub fans are damaging club's progress: Quinn

Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn has taken a swipe at supporters who watch games beamed in illegally to pubs and clubs rather than make the effort to attend matches.

Quinn said he “despises” those who spend enough money when watching on a screen to be able to afford a match ticket – and claims there are thousands of Black Cats fans who are snubbing the Stadium of Light in favour of doing just that.
