Not really, but as some have mentioned its a way to get names on shirts and therefore money to be spent getting those names on the back of shirts.
I've also kind of thought of it as a way to try and predict what the coach is thinking about his startnig 17, but obviously this isnt 100% accurate (given some players request certain numbers). |

Ok I accept that, but we managed without that luxury for over 100 years  |

| Quote: trinity374 "Tend to agree with you on this.
If the ethos is to chose the best players and those in form, then squad numbers should play no part in it and in that sense are meaningless.
I personally see no point in them - it must be a bit demoralising to be number 30 on the list.
I would simply announce the squad and number them 1-17 on the matchday.'"
Don’t you think it might be a very big deal for the young players who are collecting their squad number for the first time, showing to friends and family that they are on the way up?
It not just about the fans, just a thought. |

Not sure excited is the right word, but looking forward to it. I hate the off season.

Player turned out for Barnsley FC the other week with No. 40 on his back. How inferior does that guy feel, I wonder?

Oh ok mate you won me over- I can see that point and as it's seemingly all part of the seasons build up I'll keep quiet! |

Could they not do that with the heritage number they receive when signing with the club? |

What's the difference between "look Dad I'm squad number 30" and "look Dad I'm heritage number ***"?
The achievement remains the same...

| There's a massive difference between a players heritages number and their squad number (about 1300 TBF  ) in all seriousness, a players heritage number is a fixed number, it will always be that's number, the squad number is a variable and for a first time 1st team player that number will mean a lot  |

But surely having that specific number would make it more sentimental?
Ah maybe not I don't know, just thought it was another way of looking at it. I have no problem to be honest with each member of the team having a number.

A lower number could also mean that a player is showing improvement and is now a "first choice".
Not important for some of the senior players who will have gone through all of this at the beginning of their career but, for the youngsters, in particular, it must be great to know that they are likely to feature in the starting 13/17 |
