You're right, I was in the pub recently and I happened to mention this and the place broke down in hysterics.

They couldn't believe there was a sport where a competitor kept the same number all season. What a tinspot sport it must be was the general observation. Some swore they would never watch or attend any event where a competitor/athlete has the same number all season long.

Name another sport that does it was the most common question asked.. in between the laughter that is!

Take it they are not football supporters then

So they would never watch or attend any event where a competitor has the same number all season.  What a complete and utter crackpot statement to make.  So stupid a statement I can only think your mates were of the ilk they didn’t want to be seen different from the gang.  Hopefully they will grow up and be able to debate.

Of course it's a crackpot statement to make.. but that's the kind of crackpot nonsense that regularly crops up on this forum.

I was being totally sarcastic.

Unfortunately, the opening post was akin to the thinking that has gone into the promotion of British Speedway for so many years now... hence the mess it finds itself in.

The number 3 is the USA is MASSIVE.

Thank goodness for that as I was beginning to think I was the only one who understood he was being sarcastic. :D
