If there is an argument with regards to Covid management then I don't have an issue, however if it continues beyond that it will certainly be a negative rather than anything positive.
I'm not sure how it works as a Covid measure? Unless the argument is that it makes it easier to identify and ban those breaking the rules, in which case the arguments against would be exactly the same as those against ID cards.Furthermore, say you want to buy a ticket as a present for someone, or surprise someone by taking them to their first game. How do you do that if you have to get them to pose for a photo first? I hope the club reconsider this nonsense.

- In line with the UK Government's track and trace, the named owner of the ticket must attend the match, with the transfer of tickets strictly forbidden.- Named photographic ID must be shown on entry and must match the name on the ticket. Entry will not be permitted without your photo ID and match ticket being verified

How about the older ST holders, who haven't got smart phones or laptops, and have no intention of getting one of them, what are they suppose to do?
I'm currently re-reading 1984 …..no reference to the Villa and Photo ID thus far

If they try to retain it when capacity returns to 100%, I'll join you at the barricades. Until then though, it doesn't seem like a big ask.
