If you were planning to buy tickets for every game individually anyway and are fortunate enough to be able to just drop nearly 200 quid at a time then this is probably an improvement (provided the system can cope with tripple the number of purchases at once). But I'm not sure that's really the case for most people, therefore I can't help but think this doesn't really help the fans at all, but is more a admin cost-cutting exercise for the club, none of the savings of which will be passed onto the fans I'm sure.
Plus they are going to have the money in for 16 of those games by the end of January, which I suggest is much earlier than in previous seasons. Another reason for the club to do it at the expense of fans, especially travelling fans like myself, who won't know the exact date or time of the match, making it very difficult and extra expensive whey having to book flights, trains etc.
