Didn’t Celtic illegally not have numbers on the back of their shirts for years just on their shirts?

'Twas an old quiz question along the lines of "which club is fined every season before kicking a ball?"

I've never heard it about Notts County before, but it used to be a regular bullshit quiz question about which team(s) didn't have to wear an away kit, and the answer used to be either Preston ( first winners of the league ) or Reading ( because they're in the county of Royal Berkshire ) Or sometimes both. It's all nonsense anyway.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, Argyle didn’t have to wear an away kit, as they’re the only English team that plays in green.
