Newcastle United fans are planning an in-stadium protest against club owner Mike Ashley.

The Daily Mail reports supporters have been encouraged to stand up en masse in protest against Mike Ashley's running of the club when they face Swansea at St James' Park on Saturday.

Fans group AshleyOut.com was behind last Sunday's boycott of the 3-1 defeat at home to Spurs, which saw at least 10,000 supporters stay away as their side lost a sixth game on the spin.

And now they are encouraging fans to 'Stand Up To Ashley' this weekend. Newcastle announced record profits of £18.7million earlier this month before revealing that a further £34m is sat in the bank.
