Arsenal fans rivalled a 'Wenger Out' protest with a pro-Arsene Wenger plane in a battle of banners at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
Standard Sport revealed that Gunners supporters campaigning against manager Wenger went ahead with a planned aerial protest - which had initially been put on hold due to weather forecasts - because supporters feared reports of a second plane trailing a "Wenger In" banner.
Those fears proved to be correct as a second plane flew over the match soon after the initial protest with a message of support for the under-pressure manager: "In Arsene we trust #RespectAW".
As Standard Sport revealed on Monday, a crowdfunding initiative was put in place to fund activities to convince the Arsenal board to withdraw its offer of a new two-year contract for Wenger.
The initiative raised its £2,500 target, with the money spent on billboards, balloons and beach balls as well as the £750 cost of hiring the plane.
