Don't get your point. Seems like a sensible idea to me.

I visited SP earlier this week and found out about this re-validating of previously issued cards. It appears that other clubs have lead the way. Should you lose your 2016/2017 chip card you will need to buy a new card from the box office. If the card wears out (as the box office understands they do) it will be replaced. Should you want a new card (and perhaps a new wallet to keep it readily identifiable) you just need to move seats - which could be by arrangement with fellow supporters (three or more people keeping the same seats for their group but with different bums on seats).

With that sort of positivity how can we fail.

Given the amount of plastic produced and then thrown away worldwide it seems like a very good idea to me. Every organisation and individual should be doing more to reduce plastic consumption and minimise their impact on the environment. No reason they couldn't use NFC technology and just have cards on our phones. One day we might have them as microchips installed in our arms.

depending on how long it takes you to pay it off of your card, you'll get charged more than that anyway lol

Am sure the club Thought long and hard about the environment when making the decision. Had nothing to do with the costs of having them printed and posted out to everyone. Same consideration must have been foggotton when putting up the cladding on the mainstand and all the lovely new seats and advertising hordings around the ground and can forget all the plastic fans that arrived in the last few seasons polluting our stadium.
