Where's The Crest Gone?

Online fans' forums have been creating lots of speculation since the illuminated crest and accompanying club name was taken down from the stand's exterior wall on Tuesday.

One of the most popular reasons suggested for the removal is that the club are preparing to announce a radical redesign of their badge.

Today, though, a club spokesman said the display's absence from the stand would only be temporary.

He said in the Yorkshire Evening Post: "It's been taken down for repair and the lighting will be replaced by more eco-friendly lighting, which is also cheaper to run."

The spokesman was unable to give a date when the display would be re-installed, but stressed that when it was put back in place, it would be in an unchanged form.
