I just remembered the kerfuffle last season about our No. 1 shirt being retired and there being some confusion in the SPL about it.
Does the NPL know our situation? Is not having a no.1 shirt okay with them?
If no one has asked, they need to check ASAP.
Is Goalkeeper number okayed by the NPL?

Re: Is Goalkeeper number okayed by the NPL?
In fact, it's the FA (presumably following our appeal last Autumn) who have now changed their standardised rules so that in Step 2 Leagues and below all clubs can now use any combination of numbers 1-20 for their starting line up.
Here is an extract from the standardised rules which were adopted by the members of the NPL at their AGM:-
"On or before a date specified by the Competition each year, every Club shall notify the Competition Secretary, in writing, of details of their first choice colours for outfield players and their goalkeeper (shirts, shorts and socks) and such details shall be printed in the Handbook published by the Competition for the ensuing Playing Season. The colours registered by each Club shall be worn during the following season when playing at home. Shirts must be numbered 1 to 20 or such that the numbers can be clearly identified by officials and spectators. Striped, hooped or otherwise patterned shirts shall have numbers affixed to contrasting patches or numbers in a contrasting colour with bold outline. No changes to the first choice colours or combination of colours shall be permitted without the consent of the Board."
