I often saw a line of people waiting after matches, and full buses departing. Shortsighted move, IMO.

I wish that the club would allow for a formal relationship with the supporters where these decisions could be discussed and consulted on. Clubs in Europe treat their supporters more like stakeholders, but here in North America, we're simply customers.

Obviously the Foot Soldiers have a relationship with the club. I'm sure that it is a "good" one, but my impression is that it doesn't provide the FS any sort of leverage or consultation on decisions like this that impact supporters at large. I think that's wrong, especially when they are very quick to boast about the atmosphere that the FS bring to matches, use photos in marketing, etc.
