Recently invited legendary players Henderson Gill and Andy Gregory to the Arena with many more events planned this season. I'd say our club is being run just fine. The loss of a sponsor is out of the clubs control and is pure bad luck, but also an opportunity for a suitable replacement to be found.

It is really sad to see that the 150 years heritage shirts have the garden gnome on them.

Been in the club shop for the first time today since the new gear. Parted with £100 plus on gear for my 5 year old. Quality kit, and it looks the part too…very modern/smart designs complimented superbly by the new badge. I wasn’t anti new badge by any stretch, but have a new appreciation as to why and applaud them on the way it’s been incorporated.

New sponsor to be announced before Fridays game, has anybody heard the rumour about this announcement being announced? Heard from a mate in Whelley that it could be Chicken Cottage

Re: Kit : Tue Feb 01, 2022 12:22 pm  

Didn't we always bang on about doing the friendly vs. Skolars in London to onboard corporate sponsors? Notice we haven't done it for 2 years now (last year was probably because of Covid but not sure why we didn't this year).

Wigan have now released a 3rd charity kit, with £5 per shirt going to Cancer Research UK.
