This is a great idea. I have been to a few away games in England to watch Norwich City, and you basically buy your away ticket and optional bus ticket through the club in advance, show up at the home stadium at a specific time, and away you go. You don't have to think about logistics all day long except for getting back on the bus afterwards. This can obviously be scaled for demand, and having a central pickup point would make more sense than Spruce Meadows.
Of course, you can get to half of England in the same time that a drive to Edmonton takes, so the away supporters culture is much different over there, with some supporters going to most or all away games as well as home games. But for the one city that is within a reasonable distance to us, this is a very good thing to start working on.
