AFCRD No1 Shirt

[Three of Diamonds]

As some of you might know I like my numerology. Today is an 8/8/8 day which is a very strong day for karma and family. Dear Board, if you stand up for what is right it will be made right. We, the members, support the right thing, it is after all, why we set up this club.
Petition around 1600 now.

Now reached 1700 signatures and not yet 8am. Wonder what the total will be by kick off today?

If the Club, feel we must abide by the SL's decision how about them doing a 'Derek Dougan' on this one to promote our cause?
Get Matt to wear a jersey with 'ONE' on the back in letters and 'Dale Roberts' underneath. This would garner even more publicity in my opinion.

Forget the blank shirt, 17 or 01.. This is exactly the answer, I really hope and don't want to sound negative towards our club, but really hope the club don't bottle it today. We are all in this together!! What an insult to everyone connected including dale himself

Its worth reflecting on how much work the club has done behind the scenes to get us to this stage. They've battled right to the eleventh hour to try to get the decision overturned, at a time when there's a huge amount to do associated with the new season and new league.

Without a doubt, an immense amount of work has gone into the club to get us to this level, but still to see the number 1 jersey being worn today??

Now over 1800 signatures including nice words from Lance Key who was RDFC 's goalkeeping coach working with him for a year and who has recently signed it.

Paul Bastock and Lee Harper have also added their support.

Petition approaching 2300 signatories including another ex-RDFC keeper, Scott Tynan.

There will be a collection this afternoon for the Dale Roberts Memorial Fund with the appearance of the Dale Roberts Banner.

This is the only option I can think of to make it acceptable, or to have the name Roberts across the should blades. Least some respect is shown in that way
