As an aside, there's a genuinely nice touch in the link above... putting the fans at No.18. But how can they be 'fully fit' when they only ever last 60 minutes?
Gives a different meaning to 'they went walkabout in the last quarter'.
One thing is for sure you won't see us doing the walk at Murrayfield Magic as it is a bloody long walk home.
It's only a stroll down the road for the rest of you in comparison.

It is good to see that Quins are shutting some people up. Usually there are a lot of people predicting they will finish bottom(for no good reason).
I like Saints

Idea nicked from Reading FC, fans have been number 13 for years and even have a large shirt which is passed around the ground before kick off.

i think its boring same old teams in top 4 again hopefully we can prove our pundits wrong and finish in the top 4 we have a good team and hopefully if they stay fit we shud be up there dnt think hull fc will finish much higher than last year they lost a few good players and signed one good one shud make a intresting season all round though

A pure guess, but it could date back to the time when football clubs could only have one substitute (and that would be a number 12, with 1-11 for the starting line-up). There could also be an element of reluctance of superstitious players for wearing number 13, leaving it available for the fans.
