Rovers await UEFA decision over Intertoto violence Email
Blackburn will find out on Wednesday what action UEFA are taking after violent crowd scenes caused the Intertoto Cup match between Vetra Vilnius and Legia Warsaw to be abandoned at half-time.
Polish FA supremo Michal Listkiewicz already believes the fallout from the clashes could see the country's club teams barred from UEFA-sanctioned competitions.
Rovers face the winners in the third round and Lithuanian side Vetra were leading 2-0 at home in the first leg - the return is scheduled for Saturday - when trouble began.
Hundreds of Legia fans took to the field and tried to pull down the goalposts and destroy advertising hoardings.
Lithuanian police used tear gas to quell the unrest and made around 100 arrests.
One police officer was injured during the clashes with the Poles, many of whom were armed with metal bars, rocks and torches.
Listkiewicz said: 'A huge price will be paid for this.
'It's possible that our country could be excluded from this competition.'
Legia chairman Leszkek Miklas admitted his shock at events, adding that his team will accept whatever punishment the football authorities hand down.
'We are prepared for any decision of UEFA,' he said.
'I am shocked that people from a civilised country can have this kind of behaviour. These savages can't live in a normal society.'
The incident comes just 10 weeks after Poland was chosen to host Euro 2012 in a joint bid with Ukraine.
UEFA's control and disciplinary body will study reports before making a decision on Wednesday.
Legia Warszawa have been kicked out of the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup and have received a one year ban in a future season. 

UEFA referee Mario Vlk of Slovakia abandoned the match at half time after hundreds of fans of Legia went onto the field and tried to pull down the goalposts and destroy advertising boardings. The fans clashed with police and threw trash onto the field. Lithuanian police used tear gas to stop the violence and made about 100 arrests.

Due to the fact that Legia has been expelled, FK Vetra automatically will face Blackburn Rovers in the third and final round. The match was awarded to FK Vetra 3-0. The 2nd Leg of the tie was cancelled.

UEFA made a statement in regards to Legia's most recent hooligan problem. "Although Legia said they had done much to curb hooliganism in the past three years, the body identified an "obvious problem with Legia supporters at away matches on the continent". In reaching its decision, it added: "Legia must react quickly and firmly if the club wishes to participate in UEFA competition in future. With Legia's considerable disciplinary record for away matches, the duty of playing matches against Legia becomes a tall order that UEFA cannot afford to support any longer." 

Legia have until Saturday if they wish to appeal the ban.
