That is a valid point though, if someone did have the announced numbers on their shirt, theres a case for refund/new shirt, though who in their right mind would have Miller!

It's not the clubs fault though, so I don't know who would give you the refund, maybe sue the football league. Also, I don't think this would qualify a refund anyway as similarly you don't get a refund if you get a player who is then sold.

I imagine the relatively small amount of shirts sold with Miller, Lascelles or Freeman on the back would mean that PR benefit of exchanging a few people's shirts would far outweigh the negligible cost of doing so
But yeah, who would get Miller on the back of their shirt?

Congratulations to all the wonderful staff at the Football League, having sorted out all of the problems in football they now have time to turn their attention to the serious issue of shirt numbers in the 40's.
Balotelli will be stuffed if Man City get relegated again, then.

I know it doesn't really matter but how petty and ridiculous. Forest should have just told them they have announced the squad numbers, people have bought shirts with those players numbers on so get f**ked.
Don't think anyone will be entitled to a refund.
They did have a notice up where the shirts are printed saying the club shop cannot accept any liability for shirt number changes and player transfers.
Even so nobody is going to be bothered about it as I can't imagine anybody got that on thier shirt! Is there an actual reason why the Football League want us to have them with lower numbers?

If for some strange reason somebody did get a Miller shirt if you go to the shop and be a big enough twat about it they will give you a refund just like the wanker I got stuck behind at the tills last open day who had Earnshaw printed on his shirt, kicked off at the kid on the till demanded to speak to the manager, apparently it was the clubs fault he got an out of contract player on his shirt because they were offering free printing ??? Just make sure you shout loud enough to make a complete tit of yourself in a packed shop

Or, wait until the transfer window has closed until you get a players name printed.
But yeah, usually if you're a big enough **** people will give you a refund just to get you out of the shop. Sad, but unfortunately almost always works.

The numbering system was mad and stupid. What is the point in jumping from 15 to 45. I recall the days when it was 1-11 with 12 & 14 being the subs. I can't see the reason why one player should be 15 and the next in line is 45, is makes no sense at all...
So I applaud the FA for taking this stance

I take the differing view, as the FA have now decided to interfere, where exactly should they draw the line? It amkes no difference to, well pretty much anyone other than the club themselves and the players, what numbers they choose to wear. What's next I wonder? Majewski can't have 28 because we have 2 and 4 free?
Daft isn't it? And what about clubs who have retired numbers?

Charlton had a defender with #1 once, I'm sure they did. That's silly,

Squad numbers are just a way to get more cash out of fans. Go back to 1 - 11.

For a long time the football league resisted having players wearing numbers. 'Stick with the old way'.
1-11 made sense when most teams played 2-3-5 as the numbers fitted the positions.
It got a bit weird when they started playing 4-4-2 (a midfielder as No.4 ??)
Now that 4-4-2 is pretty much obsolete 1-11 makes very little sense, in that it doesn't relate to positions.
What does make sense is when I see a number on the pitch I know exactly which player that is.
Much better than returning to an outmoded system where 10 players could appear wearing the same number over the course of a season.
'Who is the number 8 this week?'
Now that was confusing.

Dear FA,
Why are Forest not allowed to allocate the squad number 44 to a player, but Peterborough United are?
Yours, a confused fan.

They should start up a text number to grass up all these clubs and their dodgy squad number dealings. They should offer cash rewards. I agree with your top post about meddling. You either meddle and say you have to fill up the first 25 numbers if you have a squad of 25 or you don't. And if you meddle at least have the brains to be consistent with all clubs.

We should start an Internet campaign to make that diving little shit wear some shit number like 19.
