Glory owner hits out at grand final location

After seeing Perth Glory seal their place in the A-League grand final on Friday night with a penalty shootout win over Adelaide United, club owner Tony Sage has questioned the decision to play next Sunday's grand final at Optus Stadium.

Having finished the regular season in first, Glory have earned hosting rights for the decider but won't get to play out of their traditional home - HBF Park.

With Optus Stadium capable of holding triple the number of fans, Sage believes the change of venues robs his side of true home ground advantage and has been done to raise more money for the game's governing body.
