I think the most crucial difference between NHL teams and European clubs that you reference is the way that ownership is structured. Edwards and the rest of the Flames group, do not and will not listen to any unionized fan group. Clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc .. being owned by those socis, isn't a company like CSE. Those members have a voice via voting in the board. What voice will you have as an unionized fan?
