HT: What is the biggest issue with supporter culture in America right now?
DM: That's a very interesting question. Outside of the closer regional rivalries, we haven't seen a whole lot of large-scale travel to matches, by that I mean consistent visiting crowds in the thousands. As a result, some teams are better or worse at handling large numbers of visitors, whether that means getting people into the stadium in an organized fashion, how they are separated from home fans in the stadium (if at all), and how ticket allocation is handled. I think travel in all its facets will continue to be an issue that supporters will have to take the lead on as the popularity of the league grows. Beyond travel, I think league accountability is a big issue, because dealing with a lot of individual issues are left up to the teams, rather than acknowledged/directed by the league itself.
