Please, please, please can we have the players shirts renumbered in either black or dark blue so that we can actually see who is who? I'm not over the hill (not quite) but i really do have difficulty making out the numbers and i'm sure i'm not alone.

Moan over.

Same here I bet the officials have a problem as well maybe they could complain.

I agree, it took me the best part of 25 minutes to realise that the one with the scrumcap on was Craig Robinson.

I agree bring the black numbers on. Please !

Aren't clubs told what colour their numbers have to be?

What ?

yes fully agree, being new to the Dons,andonly just beginning to recognise players i am relying on shirt numbers. and unless they are quite close they are impossible to work out. Glad its not just me, was beginning to wonder

I cannot believe we have been told to print white numbers on a yellow background!
It would have been ok on last seasons shirts but not on these new ones.

Aren't clubs told what colour their numbers have to be?

Well someone made that decision so it's not that unbelievable



I just tend to remember a few years ago their being a similar problem and permission had to be gained from the RFL to change the font colour as there are specific styles etc

What numbers???

I'll point 1 out to you...and 2. After that you're on your own

I'm always on my own. Hadn't you noticed?

Exactly my point! They might as well be written in invisible ink. Regardless of whose idea it was let's get it sorted!

Permanent marker, go around these invisible numbers with a thick border and bob's your uncle!
Very smart and professional.

I could do that for a small charge.

The Shirt Numbers are Bad----but the sun in your eyes is even worse!!!

Yes we need Dons sun visors. There's a marketing opportunity there for people who don't want a baseball cap.

Shirt numbers-complain here.
Is 'shirt' a means of bypassing the swear filter?

If so, I think they are shirt as well!

I wondered when somone would mention that. Its awful sitting on the East side trying to see whats going on. Can we start a petition to be able to sit in the West Stand

Naah, it's even worse there.
A cold miserable place.
Give me the sun any day.

It won't happen, essentially the club would have to pay for both sides of the ground to be open. And half of the supporters would be isolated from the pre/post match stuff in the bar

Like it where i am anyway. nice programme piece by the way

Cheers...much appreciated

I mentioned the problem with the shirt numbers after the first friendly - as being the only negative point arising from the match.

I hope the club do take on board the problem.

The announcer on Sunday said, "In the centres for the Dons are ... no shirt numbers given, just names!" How silly was that?

I tried to mark the York players down in the programme as they were announced. No chance! Too many names to check in a too little time!

Suggestion One: Make the shirt numbers black or blue
Suggestion Two: Print a team sheet on the morning of the match to be put in the programme
Suggestion Three: Show the teams on the score board with a constant thread running through from 2.30 to kick off.

Some of these have been done before, it'd certainly help now.
