That's where I think you're exactly wrong. Obviously not all the members will be active locally for geographical reasons. But a good number of them will become as loyal a supporter as anyone already on this message board. And the club's support at away games will explode in size.
As it stands now, you only have a couple hundred "loyal" supporters now. I find it hard to fathom that you'd object to new ones who will be as committed or more so than many of the current supporters, if for no other reason than they will have a feeling of ownership to go with it.
