>>144512590You become a member by registering as one and paying a membership fee. That also brings you advantages regarding tickets (and merch)The main thing is that you can vote on club executives staying/coming in office and certain important club decisions, like altering the club‘s structure or allowing a certain investor in. That stuff usually happens at the annual main club conventions. Everyone can vote there - directly. But even clubs with 100,000 or more members usually only have a few hundred people attending these events (because these events are in-person stuff instead of online, and they take place on a single day), unless something really big is discussed. Members can usually not vote on transfer and so on, they also don’t vote managers in or out. They just vote the people voting the managers in, and they can vote them out at the next opportunity if they are unhappy
