When the Columbus Crew supporters group Queen Anne’s Revenge, or QAR, was founded in 2017, it was a small group of friends that met up on match days and tailgate. To build onto the group, founder Jon Robinson joined the Independent Supporters’ Council, self described as “a collective that is here to promote supporters’ culture and advocate for fair treatment of supporters, both at home and on the road.”
Fast forward to 2020 and the group moved into the Columbus supporters’ “mega tailgate” where all supporters groups tailgates set up on match day. QAR also found themselves in the middle of the public Supporters’ Shield debate and have persevered in a tough 2020 year for fans.
