The club known as Saints has confirmed it will not proceed with a planned memorial wall intended to hold the ashes of deceased fans, according to BBC Sport.

In a statement reported by the broadcaster, the club said the decision to drop the project was made because there had not been enough demand from supporters for the facility.

The proposed wall had been envisioned as a permanent tribute space at the club's stadium, allowing fans to have their ashes interred there as a lasting connection to the club.

BBC Sport did not specify further details about the original scope, cost or timeline of the project, or how demand had been gauged before the decision was reached.

The club has not indicated whether alternative forms of memorial tribute for fans will be considered in the future.
