As you are entitled to do. Each fan will make their own call around how they want to be treated or what they think theya re entitled to be provided with. For me, and I'm sure some others, I feel that expecting more from the club is fair, but threatening to leave is only really hurting you. If you are a fanatic for the club, love the game etc then why would you punish yourself and not attend the home games - and then break the law by finding an illegal stram of the game?
Could the club do better? - sure, but then you have to counter that with they reduced staff during COVID to save money and stay afloat, they are now trying to build that staff back up in an asustainable manner when unemployment is at an all time low. The skilled people they need may not be around anymore. Dome is very vocal and verbose on the socials, if you follow him and the club most if not all of the information is there. This decision by the APL board impacts the Nix positiviely in that we get $1m for 3 years in the pocket. If we reach the finals series during this time and we've earned top spot then suire it negatively impacts us the fans as we dont get a home final - be realistic here - is that likely to occur???
I understand why the Melbourne fans are unhappy, they have 3 clubs that have won the league are always involved in the finals series. Them walking out in protest makes sense. The rest not so much.

There's only so much I can give. The only way I can show dissatisfaction is with my feet and my wallet, they won't listen otherwise.
You obviously don't understand how big this is for football, they're ripping out on of the core motivators for success and to say it doesn't affect us cos we're shark is disrespectful to the rest of the fans in the A-League, who we should be showing solidarity with. The "it doesn't affect me so why should I care" mentality is repulsive.
The reality is that walkouts are happening over this, and rightly so. This is a big deal for the future of the A-League and Danny Townsend needs to be told exactly where to shove it. Who knows what they'll sell out from under you next?
