Saints take to the air to protest

Any banners that are put up in the stadium are taken down by the stewards so an exiled Southampton fan in America, Robert Verheijen, has paid the £600 to hire the single-engined Cessna 172 Skyhawk from Isle of Wight firm AirAds.

The banner will read "Time to Go Rupert Lowe" and will be flown over the stadium for a 15 min period on Saturday afternoon.
