So what's the point here? To find other fans of my favorite club so we can meet up?

This is similar to the Represent.la project for startups, except for Football fans. You can deduce a lot of interesting things. Which team is popular in which city and country, who is the nearest fan to you, spotting friends nearby, favorite hangouts for each team's supporters. Can also be extended to fan club meetups, cheers during the match etc.
So I posted my location, but there's nothing beyond that I guess? If this is an MVP, what are you trying to find out from this experiment?
This is a system without data, and data collection isn't going to work because they want you to sign up.
Agree, asking for a sign up is a strenuous process.But this looked interesting to me and i signed up . They have my location and team preference, Enough data for them to start with I guess.
