Morris it is then. The Norway Gulls welcome you

agreed, the kits are fine - once they get to the club !!!

Fair enough, whilst i've been a fan of all of our recent kits their reliability is definitely not up to scratch.

i wasn't seriously suggesting it would be, i was just having a little pop at our wonderful kit supplier. existing squad numbers would remain unchanged, new players assigned from whatever is available i'd assume.

That looks about right, wikipedia has a squad list and it pretty much matches that

Provisional list i think will be

1 Olejnik
2 LRT
3 Nicholson
4 Ellis
5 Robertson
6 Saah
7 Mansell
8 Kee
9 Howe
10 O Kane
11 Morris
12 Leadbitter
13 Rice
14 Macklin
15
16 McPhee
17 Halpin
18 Oastler
19 Stevens
20 Kudi
21
22 Lathrope
23 Atieno
24 Yeoman
25 Palmer
26
27 Spear

i'm guessing none of the players will know their number until the new kit arrives - will be a little surprise from our fantastic kit supplier Vandanel (opening the box when it arrive will be like watching the euro millions draw)- No.1 Billy Kee, No.2 Zebba, No.3 Kevin Hill.............. 8/

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe our next preseason friendly will give us some answers Either way I am looking forward to the season

I would imagine he will get the number 11 shirt - anyway Joe Oastler already has the number 18 shirt.

That was his number at Chesterfield - I'll bet you he will get the number 11 shirt here (unless he has become attached to number 18!).

According to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Morris_(footballer) Morris is number 18.

So Morris then!

£300. Hmm, what's that in real money? ....$500? Might just be a bit steep for me, especially for the next few weeks. That's a shame. I might be able to scrape it together, though. Dunno who I'd sponsor.

Do you happen to know what happens if the guy you sponsor leaves mid-season?

I think it is £300.
