The fan group have publicly revealed their plans for the 'Big Blue' match at AAMI Park.

A large police presence is expected for the match at AAMI Park with Victory saying it will ensure all the sanctions imposed on the club are upheld. Following the dramatic event, Victory announced that they were “committed to the disbandment of any A-League Men’s active supporter groups that were recognised at the time of the incident”.
