Why not list all the players in random shirt numbers then? Platt at 8, Langley at 1, etc?

Or, like years ago when the club was a trend setter, hold a shirt presentation evening with the coach giving players their relative numbers and creating a meaning around the numbers and engender pride in playing for the club and obtaining said number.

Ah well.

Something that died out cos no-one was going to it. It was a point raised at the last fans forum. It's an expensive event that doesn't really mean anything

Anything poorly sold will die out.

Expensive if revenues aren't greater than the cost obviously. See above.

Doesn't mean anything? Again, it won't if the club don't attach a significance to it. All about the sell.

How would you have sold it better?

Serious question, so next time one of us has a talk with Ryan or Andrew we can pass on the suggestions.

Why would I need you to pass on anything?

Do you HAVE anything?

Aye.

And other than arris licking club officials, have you?

It was not me that made the statement about it being "poorly sold", so the onus is not on me to produce anything in support of a statement.

And I think the insulting rest of your post says rather more about you than it does about me.

Right on cue, the sanctimonious repost.

Admirable.

Re-read my original post, it's fairly self explanatory. Giz a shout if you need help with it.

And right on cue, the failure to answer a simple question coupled with resorting to a personal attack on the one who asked the question, in an attempt to divert the attention away from the original, serious - but seemingly inconvenient - question.

Predictable.

Anyway, aren't we planning on having a shirt presentation evening in the Coral stand? I thought this was mentioned at the last forum and the general opinion was an event held at the club would be well enough attended to justify the evening

pretty certain I remember it being mentioned in an article over last month or so. Would have to be held either before or to coincide with new shirt being released to allow people getting numbers to get correct ones so late november I'd guess.

IIRC the previous ones have been just before start of season so could be Jan time. Still present the shirt with the name and number. Depends if it is a shirt launch or a presentation of squad numbers

thinking about it your probably right with early january. think its usually just a presentation and numbers are announced a lot earlier to coincide with shirt launch. Shop staff usually have a list so people can get right numbers iirc.
