Pretty sure I read that the Premier League are set to make it a rule that clubs offer only virtual seasoncards from next season or season after so what City did (and other clubs) is just try to move people over sooner.I'm pleased for you but what an absolute pig's ear they've made of breaking a system that was fixed. The whole escapade sums up everything about our clubs relationship with its fans.
Its next year supposedly. I really have no idea why they have issued them now as next year people will be in the same boat.Pretty sure I read that the Premier League are set to make it a rule that clubs offer only virtual seasoncards from next season or season after so what City did (and other clubs) is just try to move people over sooner.
Better to do it now and its better before the rule is implemented.
That's true, but any sane business (or better yet, any business that gives a crap about it's 'customers') would use this season as a trial and offer both cards to those who want them, alongside e-tickets to those who are happy to be the guinea pigs. That way, any issues that occur happen on a smaller scale and can be rectified.Pretty sure I read that the Premier League are set to make it a rule that clubs offer only virtual seasoncards from next season or season after so what City did (and other clubs) is just try to move people over sooner.

The problem is (general issues aside, which are currently being ironed out and things are a lot better) some people may never want, need or be able to afford a smart phone. These people have either used print at home or collect from the stadium. Issuing a card for them for the rest of this season only to be back to square one next year is pointless and is only going to cause more animosity.That's true, but any sane business (or better yet, any business that gives a crap about it's 'customers') would use this season as a trial and offer both cards to those who want them, alongside e-tickets to those who are happy to be the guinea pigs.

The club have fucked this up royally and they clearly couldn't care less about us fans.
