The club logo hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s still up there. But please don’t let facts distort a delusional rant.

The logo at the front of the DW Stadium is still the "Ancient and Loyal" logo, but might only be still there as the new owner has not got round to having it removed as part of his football re-branding of the Stadium.

On the other hand, he might make a little "concession" that a Warriors logo can stayed there as part of the rental agreement.

Not a rant, just an observation.

Where exactly do you mean? The ‘Costa Coffee’ logo is up at the front on the right. It has switched sides though.

And yet again, an observation that is utter nonsense

My apologies, being a supporter who arrives over the bridge and sits in the East Stand , I was unaware that the logo had been replaced by the new awful badge with the image of a tired old looking Viking.

But, as I have stated, if it remains, only a little concession by the new owner while everything else about Wigan Warriors and Rugby League has been removed.

Inside the South Stand concourse last night there was still plenty of rugby related posters on the wall as usual.

Why would they change the one on the East (which you'd have seen) and not the one on the West?

But how did we have debts with the gang of four in charge?

At the time that the debts happen, it was no longer the "gang of four" as Maurice Lindsay who had been Chairman and Financial Director of the club had left to become Chief Executive of the RFL.

Perhaps if he had remained at the club, the financial situation might not have been as bad as what it turned out to be under the new board led by Jack Robinson.

All went downhill from the moment Maurice Lindsay left the club.

What about when he came back?

The damage to the club had already been done by others and Whelan was in charge!

I've worked it out.

Ruddy Duck is Maurice Lindsay!!!!
