Casual Army, wear armarni, drink in darli, like to party!!!!!!

Wind farm giant Vestas, whose UK arm is based in Warrington, is cutting 600 out of 1,100 UK employees, blaming difficulties in gaining planning permission and lack of government support.

Vestas-Celtic Wind Technology Limited manufactures wind turbines at Machrihanish near Campbeltown In Scotland, but runs its UK sales and service operation from Birchwood Park and the company is the shirt sponsor of rugby league club Warrington Wolves.

If they can't do business in the UK whats the point in them sponsoring the Wire????

Think we could be looking for a new sponsor at this rate!

Apparently a Tokyo based financial institution were in line to become our new sponsor. Unfortunately the Origami Bank folded before the start of the season.

Who would be the ideal sponsor of Warrington then ??

Otis Elevators - up one minute, down the next

Alton Towers - exciting and scary at the same time

Letts Diaries - always looking forward to next year

I would like 'Cillit Bang' to take over - we could get Barry Scott to do the PA announcements..

Yeah but nobody has mentioned it on here. No statement has been made by the club but I have heard whispers that something is not right, watch this space.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

What differene does it make if they operate in the UK or not? Plenty of football teams have foreign-based sponsors.
