Think they are living in the past with the way this is being announced. MOst are not particularly interested what number a player wears as it ceased to have any relevance years ago.
I accept I am probably one of the ones living in the past, but I still like the idea of the loose forward being No 13 and the starting props 8 and 10 etc I would prefer to see the first choices being numbered 1-13 with the squad members taking the remaining numbers. So yes I am keen to know the numbers, although I dislike this way of announcing them. I also liked the Shirt presentation night format when around 150 - 200 people attended, probably buying a pint or two and a bag of crisps and some pop for the kids, bringing some revenue into the club. So yes called me old fashioned!
