Actually I don't think the club have stated this. Although , like a poster above, I was told by someone at the club that new cards are being done, and that paper tickets would be issued for the first game. Beyond then I have no idea what will happen. But reading this thread I am not sure if what the OP says is correct.
Also they have had little time to prepare, normally season tickets are announced sometime around April, whereas they only went on sale in July this year.
