No official sponsor was announced but there is one in place.

Amos Roberts flew in to Manchester this morning at 10.30 and turned up to the fans forum for about half a minute to wave at us

We are a more well balanced squad than Nobby has seen at Wigan before.

We now have a group of 11 players in an 'accelerate' squad who have all been made full time.

Plenty of stuff about the Stadium company, we have an excellent deal with them with a very good, low rent. If fans boycott product ( ie Beer ) then the rent may have increase to compensate.

Cant remember much more right now sorry.

Thanks for the update but extremely disappointing if those are the highlights.

Nothing to report really. Most things we already knew about, it just seemed a case of them trying to put a positive spin on it.

Oh yeah also.......

Merchandise range will be much improved.

Major push to increase club revenues with promotional and sustainable things put in place, such as going into schools regularly and corporate initiatives.

3 year plan to put us at the top of SL with regard to club revenue.

The chairman did say that revenue is a massive issue, if the club doesnt have lots of revenue then it cant spend the full cap.

so no new shirt or anything?

Jan 24th both home and away unveiled.


Also one of the reasons Pirtek pulled the plug was the coverage and mock up we gave them on here. Hence the fear when the kits appeared this week, when the deal wasn't tied up.

Really? Seems odd they would pull the plug when the feedback on Pirtek was nearly all positive. Is it not more realistic that IL doesn't want stuff on here he announces it and as such is putting scare stories in place?
