Newcastle supporters planning to gloat over Sunderland's possible relegation to League One will be denied access to the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats - six points from safety at the foot of the Championship with four games to play - are aware of the threat of fans from their North-East rivals travelling in large numbers to their remaining home matches.
That was what happened in 1987 when Sunderland were last demoted to the third tier and around 1,000 Newcastle supporters turned up at Roker Park to see their relegation play-off against Gillingham.

But the Wearsiders decided to remove all cash turnstiles for Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Norwich and they are almost certain to do the same for the games against Burton a week on Saturday and the season-finale versus champions-elect Wolves on May 6.
