 That same year North Geelong Croatia was also expelled from the Provisional League by the VSF due to crowd disturbance, casting further doubt on the legitimacy and intent behind the VSF ruling.The VSF as part of their ruling allowed for SC Croatia to apply for re-admission into the VSF after the conclusion of the season, and on 22 August the club sent in their application.After reviewing the application the VSF rejected it, causing further anger within the Croatian community.
