Common sense has to prevail here. This isn't a case of the league enforcing rules, it's about them disrespecting the memory of a young man taken from us far too soon.

Some things are more important than strict adherence to rules. The officials should show compassion for the clubs that comprise their league.

How insensitive, what harm can it possibly do? Reserve goalkeepers frequently play with other numbers when they're needed for whatever reason so it's hardly like its the only number ever used in goal, either...

I'm a Northampton supporter who has no love of R&D at all. However the way that they dealt with Dale's unfortunate passing has been class and surely the Southern League can support this.

Shocking decision hope the decision gets made to allow to wear the 17 shirt for the keeper.

The Southern League should be ashamed of themselves - this decision is so disrespectful to Dale's memory, his family, the club and its fans.

Who cares what number they wear, This memory for the club is clearly very important. Sort your lives out Evo-Stik League. Nothing but pathetic to refuse this.

The lack of compassion shown by the southern league for a request to retire the number one jersey is a disgrace. It may only be a number to them, but it is signicant to the supporters of AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

when I used to play for rdfc Dale used to talk to me before a game and after a game when walking out on the pitch and walking off, I am truly disgusted that he has not been shown the true respect that he deserves. RIP Dale Roberts. One of the best goalkeepers I knew.
