Reserved for Mexico?

Was meant for Witterstein?

Reserved for SBW when, in a totally unexpected masterstroke, he signs for the club he has wanted to play for since before he was born, nay before he was even conceived...

Wildcard shirt available for FA or anyone else who fancies propping when our limited front row options get fekked by injuries?

They ran out of number "6"s in the club shop?

Someone at Odsal can't count?

The club Feng Sui practitioner has ruled that there is bad joss with no. 16?

It's a club ploy to get the fans guessing...bit like find the blue smartie?


The truth is out there...

It seems to me that 16 was originally Winterstein's number. When he left, nobody thought much of it.

Come the Presentation night, they realised Winterstein wasn't here any more and just missed out his number.

Whoever was in charge of the media release though, had the list in a nice Excel Spreadsheet, where someone hadn't been bothered to type in the individual numbers, they simply put the formula in for "Cell Above + 1" and Filled Down. Ooo look, I've saved myself a load of typing work by getting Excel to count for me!
Time to send them out, oh b*gger, Winterstein isn't here any more. That's ok, I'll just delete the row. Excel recalculates all the people below him, and they are suddenly given one squad number up from where they originally were. Nobody notices. Media release gets sent out.

Ok I may have dramatised ever so slightly, but I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't far from the truth.

At least if they haven't printed the numbers onto the shirts yet though, they can just go with the mistake ones sent out in the media release, and pretend the 200 people at the shirt presentation were victims of a mass hallucination.

It must be said though that 16 is a really gobsmackingly interesting number. After a whole internet of research, the top interesting facts about the number 16 that Jeeves comes up with are the astonishing (please be sure you are sitting down before reading further)...




As fun, I thought sticking pins in my eyes couldn't be bettered, but the ounces thing ...

Sixteen is a Polish band that represented Poland in the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest

If Adele had been a Bull, her debut album would probably have accidentally been called '16'

In Franny's stated confirmation, it says that Danny Addy is number 16. yet at the presentation evening he got presented number 17. What more do I want? Well, maybe we could start with the answer to that? I also thought that the new shirts looked awful. As I predicted when they were released, from any distance you just don't get any sense of red and amber being important at all, they all blur into a sort of dark purple stripe look; and from the back, they are basically just plain white.
