JackSWFC Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 No Lavery on that sheet? Also, I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing Dielna or McGugan play for us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye West Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Sorry Kivo but you need to get a life mate, it's numbers on a kit - I'm sure you'll not lose any sleep over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Question for everyone that is saying "it doesn't matter they are just numbers..." Clearly, to some fans, it is important. So if "it doesn't matter" what actually is the point in upsetting and annoying a load of the fans? What's the benefit that outweighs the cost? I'm not really seeing anyone jumping for joy about it all - just a load of people who don't care, and a load who do care and who don't like it... Even if you yourself consider the fact that fans are getting upset about something you don't think is worthy of that reaction, it doesn't stop it being a fact that that is the reaction of many...

Sorry that's BS Forestieri was 45 at Watford and he wanted to be 45 again when coming here. Even his twitter handle has '45' in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the keepers I think any players that had 1-11 last season and weren't a Chansiri era player have moved out of 1-11 positions. I know most will say I'm reading too much into it but I think there's something in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't think the numbers thing is that big a deal you're right. As with the badge and kit, what is the point? These things were always going to get a mixed reaction. Don't fix what's not broken. Tradition and football clubs go hand in hand. Why upset a chunk of the fan base with needless changes? Don't think Chansiri really understands that part of it.

The only reason to change the badge/get rid of stripes/change squad numbers is to enforce power. I've got the power to do it, so I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjr2401 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm predicting that next year a selection of our players will be given minus shirt numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Our fans are incapable of being happy with their lot, moaning about squad numbers now, I've truly seen it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
