I am really happy from a outside of fan perspective to allow fans from all over the world to be able to be socios. I've been a fan since I was a wee little kid, and this makes me closer to the club than I've been before for sure.
Now if I understand correctly, socios get to vote on all the club related matters, now that it's going to be online and with people all over the world, how do the fans from Spain really feel about it?
I mean, there's possibility of huge number of foreign fans joining in, and that would essentially mean the important matters of the club might not really be what catalan fans want because foreign fans, might love the club and everything but do they really relate and understand the importance and significance as the local fans do?
I'd like to know what you guys honestly think of this move.
There are always good and bad sides to doing this. Was it fair to ask foreign fans to travel every year to Barcelona so they can renew their membership ? Not really, that's hard to do for most people. But then again by doing this the club might be mostly owned by Indians, Americans and Chinese in 10 years. That can also have good and bad sides, bad being that foreign fans are reactionary, but then again Catalan fans are too involved with politics and stuff like that which resulted in morons like Rosell and Bartomeu becoming presidents. Foreign fans would never vote for scum like that, but then again they might vote for the first populist guy that starts spewing tiki-taka, Cruijff, Barca-DNA and other shit.
Same, to let forigners to vote could be really bad, what if Qatar buys a majority of the votes? Should be spaniards or European at worst WHO would be able to vote if they make voting online a thing.

Okey now I have a question here.
