Number 13

[Y25]

I would like the club to transfer our "the fans" number to number 12 next season.

Number 13 is crap and we only probably got it as none of the players wanted it.

Players get to change numbers so it should be an easy thing for the club to do.

Whatever player is currently 12 he will have to change -no one player is bigger than us.

I think Torino were the first club to do such a thing and their fans are no. 12 - the twelth man so to speak!

Does anyone agree, have an opinion or perhaps even care?

No to all three from me.

We're not called number 13 any more - not this season at least. HTH.

[Dan - B15 Royal]

Number 13 should stay in my opinion...i cant see the point of changing it myself, doesnt affect the FA or the opposition team so is having us supporters listed as 12 any more benefit to the team than number 13?

[AlexY25]

Just give the number to the next player that signs. The fans don't need a number.

[Royalshow]

The 12th man is the biggest cliché ever! Not to mention the fact that Villa use it.Reading fans in new idea shocker.

[Dirk Gently]

The whole "give a number to the fans" idea is an embarrassing pile of posh, IMHO. Just let it die quietly!

[Big Foot]

Scrap the number for the fans idea - rubbish.

I think it's time the no.13 thing finished.

Maybe a mascot could wear it and have his name announced or something.

BTW . I've heard a rumour that it costs about £200 to be a mascot. Anyone know if it's true ? I thought they just pulled names out of a hat.

The man who sits next to me misses it. He says he feels like he's been transferred.

I suspect that is the cost, it was well over £100 a good few years ago when son of RL was a mascot.

I think that's fairly horrible

FM09 disagrees with you.

According to the club website, we're still no.13, and we're a defender apparently...

That must be why we have a faily good record of clean sheets in the North stand goal.

much harder to defened the goal at the south stand when 4000 of us are sitting behind the goal at the other end.

maybe they should let us all change ends at half time like we did once upon a time?
