The merchandise is superb 

That singlet is something else. I'd love to see the look on people's faces when someone walks into the gym with that beauty on.

They can’t be expecting to sell a lot of those jerseys can they?

Yes because Derek Beaumont would never criticise other clubs or elements of the game would he....

If I remember correctly Wigan named a bar this year after an ex chairman who was investigated for anti-semitic comments.

Derek's name change seems a bit trivial in comparison.

How long till Degsy is offering out people/fans/clubs on twitter for a scrap in the "significant investment" new mascot outfit?

Yes because that is relevant to this thread or my post. You be you though.

just because your owner likes big cats

At least with Leopards and all those signings they have a chance of avoiding relegation. A different big cat could've been much worse. We all know that Cheetahs never prosper.

If Degsy doesn’t go reverse ferret here he’ll be a deaf leopard

But theyve signed hardaker, what’s that  saying about Leopards and spots

[sweaty craiq]

Was at the launch earlier today as a sponsor, so my observations on what was a thoroughly professional launch

1. Leopards is bold, the shirt looked decent 'live' but it needs to be Red/Cherry n White imo and hopefully the Branding wont get in the way of the fantastic stuff being released.

2. Academy already applied for to build on our 15 and 16's squads now in place - cannot see how this could be declined with IMG gradings coming in

3. Womens SL team for 2023

4. Very emotional LD and PDRL announcements

5. New Junior section, £7.50 pm incl admission, shirt and 'club' activities

6. Season tickets rebranded into packages with 12 months spread payments

7. Ambition to win an A licence during 2023

8. Zak spoke very well, club confident about a comfortable finish to build upon again

9. Targeting 7k plus average gates and a full matchday experience.

 

I left unconvinced on the branding but excited for the years ahead

I thought a bit of perspective was needed. 

Derek was actually extremely helpful to Batley fans the other week. He made his players acknowledge our fans and took time to commiserate with us.

I can understand fans having fun at the badge, but I wanted to speak up for someone who was very thoughtful to us.

Keep an eye out for Purple Aki on the way home.

To top it off they've signed 5 players from Warrington

Just found, new music at the stadium?

That's a big indicator of approval to be fair (or lack of). Nearly twice as many comments and quote tweets as the are likes.
