Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Stockport did this a few years ago when they were still in the Football League but the league blocked them from wearing the numbers on the shirts
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Don’t see the point.
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
I don't understand it
There's over a thousand names? Can someone explain this please?

Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Ahh I get it now. If your the 1259th person to play for them since they formed, you have that number on your shirt..... Don't see the point.

I am not a number, I am a free man

They do it in test cricket now, that's where the idea has come from.groove wrote:Ahh I get it now. If your the 1259th person to play for them since they formed, you have that number on your shirt..... Don't see the point.
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Never seen the point in that either. When I found out what the numbers meant my first thought was ‘so what?’ClaretTony wrote:They do it in test cricket now, that's where the idea has come from.
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
It's surprising how many there are. I've done the same for Colne Cricket Club and the total (including sub-pros) is 701.

Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Would be funny if in a years time they realised they’d made a mistake and missed somebody off the “list” so the numbers were wrong
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
if you had, say, two players of the same name who appeared round about the same time?wilks_bfc wrote:Would be funny if in a years time they realised they’d made a mistake and missed somebody off the “list” so the numbers were wrong
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
And people make their debuts in the same match so I’m not sure it means much anyway. How did they decide who was number 1 given 10 other players must have made their debut at the same time?
Re: Bradford City take on Heritage Shirt numbering
Cricket tradition is that the captain is number 1, the professional is number 11, and the others are in alphabetical order.martin_p wrote:And people make their debuts in the same match so I’m not sure it means much anyway.

Right enough. This doesn't erm, add up at allmartin_p wrote:And people make their debuts in the same match so I’m not sure it means much anyway. How did they decide who was number 1 given 10 other players must have made their debut at the same time?

Keighley Cougars said that any new discoveries will receive the next nuimber on the list; they won't rejig what has already been published.edison wrote:if you had, say, two players of the same name who appeared round about the same time?
It can easily happen. Colne CC had two sub-pros with the same name, and the only reason I found out was that Nigel (Lancs League website editor) pointed out that the first pro of that name was actually pro-ing for Lowerhouse on the day that the second pro of that name was pro-ing for Colne. Be a better story if I could remember the name!

I think Lancashire League tradition might have been that although that's generally disappeared now.dsr wrote:Cricket tradition is that the captain is number 1, the professional is number 11, and the others are in alphabetical order.
Weren't the Aussies the first to do it and they all followed on from that. They have different numbers too in cricket, for tests, ODIs & t20s.
