Tumbleweed 106 Posted January 8, 2004 Anyone else noticed that on the NCFC website they have "The Fans" listed at No 13? I thought it was quite funny, then I realised the irony of having us poor buggers officially acknowledged as being unlucky. I think at the moment we rather disprove that as I can''t remember such a genuine buzz around the club.Maybe we can take it in turns to be the No 13 and sit on the bench. Some of us might have a bit more mobility than poor old Robbo (only joking Iwan)............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T07 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Its actually a worldwide thing. Many clubs give the 12 or 13 shirt to the fans, I first saw it at Besiktas in Istanbul, the fans there are definately worth a squad number.And so are we - most of us anywaySING UP THE RIVER END!!

carpio 0 Posted January 8, 2004 The number 13 shirt was presented to the fans to show that the club felt that the fans at carrow road are as good as having another player on the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tilt 12 Posted January 8, 2004 Tradionally football clubs have always given the number 13 to fans as many players refused (and still do) to play under a number which is considered unlucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
