Generally echoes my thoughts. I too would have prefered to defer but couldn't get the answers from City so renewed to keep my seat and place in the points system more than a desire to attend again, I'm actually fine missing games until its fully back to how it was pre covid just so long as I'm not penalised for missing them.
The phone issue I'm personally not bothered about, I have a phone that has nfc capabilities but I'd rather have a card, there's no messing about then and it eliminates any potential issues with phones but I'll adjust to that. I don't think it should be enforced though, the card works fine and it's going to cause so much further ball ache at the turnstiles which can be easily avoided
I'm not vaccinated and won't be anytime soon, so my only option will be a negative test and I really don't want to have to piss around with getting a negative test for every single game when we play 3 times a week. All of it combined just makes me question whether it's worth it and make me not want to bother right now. We can all see the impending shitshow when the first home game of the season is here.
