Southampton invited to vote on design of Northam crowd banner

Saints are set to welcome their team back to St Mary's for the first home game of the 2024/25 Premier League season on Saturday, August 24.

Russell Martin's side will take on Nottingham Forest, having visited Newcastle United on the opening day of the campaign a week earlier.

Saints have made significant changes to the layout of St Mary's with an all-standing home end in the Northam - where away fans previously were.

The club want to create a red wall and has pitched its first idea to help the cause with a giant crowd banner for the first day of the season.

Season ticket holders in the Northam have been sent an email in which they can cast their vote for one of five designs.

Voting is set to close on Sunday, July 7 at 12pm. A Saints statement adds: "Please note that final banners may be subject to design changes."
