Fans posed as St Mary's stewards 'in ridiculous plot'

The big story of the last seven days

- 

Two Portsmouth football fans who posed as stewards wearing high-vis vests in a “ridiculous plot” to watch the south coast derby against Southampton have been banned from matches for three years.

Brothers Kane and Dale Green headed to St Mary's Stadium on September 14 without tickets, carrying high-vis vests with “steward” written on the back and radio equipment.

At the ground they put on the items to look like stewards and managed to get into a restricted area, metres from the pitch, less than an hour before kickoff.
