The French league's disciplinary committee said on Monday a final decision will be made on November 17. 

The temporary ruling means Saint-Etienne, last in Ligue 1, will play at least one match without any supporters. Home fans unfurled banners, let off a barrage of projectiles and smoke bombs and ran onto the field, damaging the goals ahead of the game with Angers. The players left the field and kick-off was put back as municipal workers repaired the nets at the city-owned Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.  It was only the latest in a series of incidents involving fans in Ligue 1 games this season. League officials had already imposed a two-match suspended closure of Saint-Etienne's south stand after incidents during the derby against Lyon on October 3. Crowd trouble forced a match between Nice and Marseille to be abandoned on August 22.That was followed by a string of incidents in September. The northern derby between Lens and Lille was overshadowed by a pitch invasion that held up the start of the second half. The next weekend, supporters invaded the pitch at the game between Angers and Marseille, while stones were thrown at a bus taking Bordeaux fans to their match in Montpellier, with 16 suffering minor injuries. Nice were deducted a point. Lens were ordered to play home matches behind closed doors.
