The club have allocated the twelfth man shirt number to Jordan Smith.
Very disrespectful imho. 🤬🤬🤬

Agreed, Ceef, they really didn't need to do that.

The question for me is why do that? Are they trying to alienate the fan base? I can’t imagine Mr Smith has demanded the number 12.

Those involved may simply have been unaware of the potential issue. I generally prefer to start from the assumption of cock-up rather than any kind of sinister plots. In part that stems from my experiences over 30 years evaluating the effectiveness of organisations policies and procedures. Lots of cock-ups, oversights, forgotten stuff, only a handful of frauds or malicious acts.

Even Lando the kit man was here then and he's the man who will be dealing with said squad numbers on a daily basis, surely one of them will know, so if it was an oversight, it will hopefully eventually be acknowledged and explained.
