I wonder if some players might have requested certain numbers.
Close with number 33 for example.

Ben Close was number 8 just season

[roversdude]

Wonder why Close didn’t have that last season, someone mentioned he had history with 33 at Portsmouth

[steve@dcfd]

28 players including 3rd GK tomorrow only 18/19 could be available for first game with 7/8 players injured of which 3 are carried over from last year and Barlow whose not been available from the start of preseason and never gets a mention.

Am I the only one disappointed ravenhill isn't number 19?

[Colemans Left Hook]

notice the absence of "wonky " names  meaning a great saving on the "ink budget" and the players with shorter names on their backs ought to be able to run faster
.............   a master stroke for the fitness regime

Which is why I mentioned that Close had probably asked for 33.

Obviously spent too much time in a casino and when the ball lands either side of 33 on 16 or 1 his mates would shout "close"

Sorry to be pedantic, Steve, but it's 27 players. One extra player could make a difference though, if it was anyone decent.
