Having Heinz on the front would be decent - better than mecca anyroad.

Totally agree.
And a real Wigan connection as well.
Have the club ever approached Heinz? It would seem to be a logical partnership.

My grip is just fine, ta.
So they pay big bucks...So what?
Doesnt change the fact that the logo looks stupid on our shirt, and i aint wearing it.
My privilege, i do believe?

Unfortunately, my company already are the main sponsor for Bath Yawnion. I keep trying to bring them to the light, but not getting very far! :roll:

Co-Operative
Heinz
Warburtons
Totesport
Mecca Bingo
118 Bet

Those are the companies I can see being involved. 118 purely because they seem to have replaced Tote as the in stadium bookie, despite Tote being based in Wigan so perhaps they will want to keep the deal.

With Co-Op, Heinz, Warburtons & Mecca Im sure we can come up with a sponsor who gives the club the deal we want.

I would hope we only have 1 back of shirt sponsor (if we need one at all!), a main sponsor and a sleeve sponsor.

Heinz I am led to believe have quit their sponsorship deals with both Wigan Warriors and Wigan Athletic or will do at the end of their current agreements.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

I also work for The co-operative and have heard this. Warrington also seem to be in line for a bit more from us too. Both very co-operative areas.

Ahh, well that would mean we have lost Heinz & Tesco from our community sponsorship lot, Subway I believe sponsor that area now, perhaps with Co-Op being so community based, they will fill that void.
