But you can't tar everyone with the same brush. Having people's detail's isn't going to stop pitch invasions. I can understand buying tickets over the phone or online and picking them up from the ticket office on Matchday that you'll need ID to prove you are the person who bought them over the phone or online.

How would the club go on if we still had pay on the turnstile? Also what do they do with the information they collect and where does it go? Do they share it with 3rd parties? What happens if you don't have ID or refuse to give these details? Are you then denied a ticket and entry?

This is an ID scheme in all but name only. This is very similar to what Thatcher wanted in the 80s that all football fans have ID cards. This is what the Tories want to bring in for General Elections.

That's different though Charles, that's when you buy ticket's online or over the phone and I can understand that.
