The centre of town would be a prime spot.

The bar could be used for any fans forums that the club organised and so ALL money would go back to the club. The bar area itself doesn't even need to open every night and can just open at weekends and maybe Wednesday nights (decent night round Wigan) and show either the previous weeks match or a match from the past. Bit of grub on as well and you're talking a full house.

None of the floors or rooms are big enough for a FF. But yea, the rest of the idea works.

They could even link up with Walkabout (current sponsors), buy a drink in the 'club bar' and get half price entry into Walkabout before 12pm.

Come on Ian, get it sorted

Before 12pm?

Not all of us are alcohol dependent.

IFL? Feedback please

Still a rip-off.

I agree, this is my beef, they have not got a clue how to run a retail outlet.
The appointment of a New Retail Manager was meant to sort this, remember this statement from the club in December?

=red[i`Paul Stanworth will be joining the club as Retail Manager in January. Paul joins the Warriors from Burnley FC where he has held the position of Head of Retail for the past 4 years. One of his first roles will be to oversee a re-fit of the club’s town centre shop, Warriors World. This will take place in mid January, around the same time as the 2009 home and away shirts will be launched. At the launch the actual date when the replica shirts go on sale will be confirmed.`[/i

So what has gone wrong and what is Paul Stanworth actually doing??

Questions I was wondering myself tbh.

Are the away shirts available from the shop yet?

On the online store site it lists them as now in stock!

not seen anything fron club to say they have arrived?

is a joke.

there must be over half the listed merchandise down as "not in stock"

how can we sell it if we dont have it??

and what the heck is this Paul Stanworth doing exactly to justify his wages??

I have been in the shop this morning and they are not in yet.

The service was very friendly as well today

Im interested to know where the leisure wear is that was supposed to be launched early this year from the back of the merchandise catalogue.

Or where they away kits are.

Or what the new head of retail has done.

The silence from the club sums up the answers to all these things.

For all IL bangs on about wanting the club to turn profit, his merchandise set up is pathetic.

I'd like to know when the kids home shirts will be in?

I think the organisation and drip drip supply of shirts and merchandise is disgusting.

Plus no one seems to know whats happening when i ring the shop for info.

Its a joke. An utter joke. The management of our club (Mick Hogan & marketing boys aside) is terrible, not really sure what IL is doing tbh.

The man that should know is Head of Retail - Paul Stanworth

This is a joke....i mean really?

No unfortunately I was the one who spotted it!!!

well yicker you will be pleased to know there are no miss....spelt names in the shop cos i went to have a look on tuesday when i picked up a shirtb for sian.

riddle still makes me laugh

I have witnessed very poor cutomer service in the shop, I asked about my little lad using the toilet. She didnt care less whether his pooped his pants or not.

Usually they won't let you for health and safety reasons

Sodding phone the club then instead of bleating about it on here!

Wind ur neck in la.

Heard a whisper that the retro shirt that was 'coming soon' according to the back of the merchandise catalogue may not be produced after all as the club are concerned how it will affect future replica shirt sales.
I think it would be very popular and it will never date unlike replica shirts so i can see why the club is concerned they would lose money in the long run.
Only what ive heard though so i dont know if theres any truth in it or not.
Personally i hope it comes out as Ive wanted one for ages!

Been in for ten mins today buying assorted wears, no other customers in at all while i was there but hard at it getting orders done... oh and very friendly



piemandan, how cute are you in that pic on facebook
