A man was stripped of his club membership after making a racist attack on social media towards Western Sydney Wanderers defender Tarek Elrich last week.

On Saturday, when Victory welcomed the Newcastle Jets to AAMI Park, a photographer was allegedly subjected to homophobic slurs from the crowd.

Freelance photographer and journalist Matt Johnson said he was abused by a member of a large group of fans, saying the language was designed to make him "feel like sh*t".

"I froze, paralysed by someone trying to belittle me while doing my job," Johnson wrote on Twitter.

"While (homophobic slurs have) been dismissed as banter in the past, it's now 2019. This stuff doesn't belong in sport, society, anywhere. It's not on."

On Sunday, the club was made aware of Johnson's posts and was asked for a response.

On Monday afternoon, a club spokesman said Victory "would require more information before we make comment" and would look into the incident.

Johnson said he had been heartened by the support from people in the sport, including PFA deputy chair and former Matilda Kathryn Gill, since making the post.

Unfortunately, A-League supporters have form when it comes to homophobic abuse.

The most prominent display came from the Wanderers' active support group, the Red and Black Bloc, which unveiled a banner of then Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold committing a sex act during a February 2017 derby.

The Wanderers and FFA both condemned the banner but the RBB never apologised.

Victory, who sit second on the league ladder after the 2-1 win over the Jets, play Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.
