I think this is not how it works. The snippet is a form field, not a model field. Basically I think you should use an IntegerField (you just want to store a year, right?). Then somehow you need to override the widget or so and make sure that in the admin that form will be used for that IntegerField. This form field basically just makes sure, that people don't enter anything stupid, but what is being saved will just be a normal integer, I guess.
Sorry, don't have enough time to give a better hint.
