Football Australia has not confirmed what sanctions it will take,but football sources are expecting Melbourne Victory will have to play behind closed doors for part of - if not the remainder - of the season. Such a move would mean no fans could attend matches and could affect the value and cost of production for Network 10,whose parent company Paramount signed a five-year $200 million deal with the A-League last year.
Fans of Victory and City were planning to walk out at the 20-minute mark in protest of the announcement this week that thenext three A-League and W-League grand finals would be held in NSW,but Victory fans turned on Glover after he appeared to throw a flare back towards the fans after it was thrown in his direction.
The match was suspended at the 20-minute mark and later abandoned due to player safety.
