Give fans due process: Perth Glory coach
Adelaide United's boss says the fans must be respected. And Perth Glory's boss says the solution is simple: due process.
A-League supporter groups continued protest action at the weekend, with Adelaide's Red Army walking out after 30 minutes of their home match against Perth on Sunday night.
The left a banner stating "FFA: Can You Hear Us Now?" as fan anger continued despite football's governing body pledging to review its controversial fan ban process.
The actions came a day after Western Sydney's Red and Black Bloc boycotted their home match against Brisbane Roar.
Straight-shooting Perth coach Kenny Lowe said his take on the controversial issue was simple.
"If the fans come to the game they have got to (be) responsible and do the right thing," Lowe said.
"And then the FFA, make sure if they (fans) do anything, have got due process.
"And that is it. It's not hard, I don't think.
"But maybe I'm stupid, I'm a daft lad from Billingham in the north-east of England where we tend to speak as you should speak."
Adelaide's Red Army missed the bulk of their club's first win - a 1-0 triumph over Perth - under new coach Guillermo Amor.
The Barcelona great said he couldn't remember witnessing such fan action in his decorated playing career on Europe.
"We need to respect each other's motives," Amor said.
"Obviously we feel stronger with a full pitch, we need the support of our people, the more people we get in the stands the stronger we feel.
"Yes, I did notice at one point that they had left already but I respect their wishes."
Representatives from all A-League club supporter groups plan to meet in Sydney this week amid ongoing controversy at the lack of an appeal process for spectators banned by the FFA.
