Vancouver Whitecaps supporters will have company on Friday night when they stage another protest walkout, this one during the Vancouver-Portland MLS match at B.C. Southsiders vice president Paul Sabourin-Hertzog says members of Portland's supporters groups will be joining the exodus from the stands scheduled for the 35th minute of the game. "We expect that there will be a large number of travelling supporters who will choose to act in solidarity with us," said Sabourin-Hertzog. Members of Whitecaps support groups, the Southsiders and the Curva Collective have staged protest walkouts at the previous two Whitecaps home games to express their solidarity with a group of players from the now-defunct Whitecaps women's team. "This is not a protest aimed at the players on the pitch or [coach] Marc Dos Santos," he said.
