Victory's bill for Etihad damage at Melbourne Heart derby Damage created by fans at Etihad Stadium during the derby between Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart. MELBOURNE Victory has been billed $40,000 for damage caused to Etihad Stadium in its wild soccer derby with Melbourne Heart this month. Stadium management hit Victory with the account after 170 seats were wrecked at the venue on February 2 during the A League game. Victory, as the host team, is required to pay for the damage. But it is understood the club has approached Football Federation Australia in the hope it can pressure Heart to cover some of the damages bill. Heart fans are estimated to have caused up to half of the damage. Victory will host West Sydney Wanderers at AAMI Park this Saturday night. Victory's general manager of operations, Trent Jacobs, said officials had met supporter groups, security and Victoria Police to discuss how to improve behaviour in the long-term. Police will continue to investigate the derby crowd's antics of February 2.
