Watto Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 What is positive about the unorthodox squad numbers though? Does the owner really not like certain numbers ? All a bit bizarre but not a massive deal tbh! Although it is nice to have a forward wearing the traditional no 9 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd welcome, however, is some explanation of the approach. Even if that is something as simple as "I just like these numbers and that pattern". Perhaps we'll get that. So far he's been quite good at explaining what he's doing. He may have chosen these number on birthdays, age and house numbers like a lot of people do with their lottery numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieOwler Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We're going to win the League Cup! Half-arsed premiership managers will look at our squad numbers and have no idea where most of our team plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 According to some Thailand press reports, Odd numbers are considered lucky in Thailand. 9 out of the 11 regulars first team last season now have odd numbers. 9 is considered very lucky and 4 very unlucky. Don't understand Fletcher at 6 though but maybe number 9 and 3 are being left for some big signings. Personally think these numbers assigned are based on Chansiri beliefs and not a power gone to his head choice. If it gets us promotion then happy days.

George Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I hate the kit and I hate the squad numbers. However, I'd rather see Steven Fletcher wearing 6 and playing in all Blue than see Darren Purse playing in 6 and wearing stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I think we should start at 99 and work our way down. Massive numbers, massive club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm guessing that if you live in Thailand then these types of superstitions/traditions are not really that bizarre. Nobody battered an eyelid when a Buddhist came along to bless our ground - that's something that doesn't happen often in football. In my opinion, the kit, badge and numbers have all been done with the intention to make SWFC positive again. I don't think it's anything to do with ego or being a nut job. He's trying to drag our asses out of the dark ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 TYPICAL OWLSTALK OVERREACTION! If this is the main topic of discussion then we're clearly doing something right as a club. Squad systems and numbers have been in place now for years. Nuhiu was #9 last season for pity's sake and people didn't go overboard with that.
