This is meant to be the biggest name in our sport and we cant even get the players names right just hope its not the same person printing names on the back other wise its going to be a big riddle spelling the names.

what i can't understnad is why when the staff took them out of the boxes and saw the names they still put them on the shelves

Wasn't there something similar in about 2005? I remember Adrian Lam's having a B on the end, and jokes about pulling the wool over people's eyes.

should be one Wigan's answer to the trafford centre 'the grand arcade'

The company who makes them can't

I doubt IL would pay the high rates for the Grand Arcade.

He'd probably take advantage of other good town centre locations that have had rates dropped due to the opening of the Grand Arcade.

Ski and comments about shirts

It will be interesting to see if Mick Hogan will post a reply to this thread...Please tell me that the shop have now removed these items and that they are not still trying to sell them?

31 The Grand Arcade was that really small perfume shop.




It's tiny!

A bit to small that one. I think they should have like a megastore galleries would be a good shout also. Somthing that stand out though, so if you get any out of towners (so to speak) doing any saturday shopping. They can see that rugby meens a great deal to us (im now putting away my violin)

like the pryce one says jailbird

that's where Karl spent the missing 15 months then.

The perfect place for me (that is available!) would be the old Anne Summers shop on Standish Gate.

On Wigan's main shopping street bang in the middle of the town centre and perfect size at £80,000 per annum. Perfect size too

I just wish I knew the clubs budget!

You'd like some crotchless wigan knickers & fishnets.

In all seriousness though, just found this pic:

The shop is the blue one with the red name that you can see just over the telephone boxes...

Aye, but it smells nice



Seriously though, i wonder is the [size=75Hugo[/size Boss of that store...

While you say you wish you knew the budgets, it is worth bearing in mind that Saints considered their town centre store a success, however, still saw fit to move from one that cost £70,000 PA to £30,000 just down the road.

Its near B&M now isn't it? The ar$e end of the shopping centre, still £40k is a huge rental saving.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anywhere but that area. Can't walk down Standishgate for bl00dy "scuse me can I ask you a quick question" clip board mongerers!

They're all over the place and would be in The Grand Arcade if they could!

IL isn't going to pay for shop space when he's got Warriors World under lease for free for God knows how long.

He and Mick Hogan have already said that it's something that they'd like to pursue.

Ar$£ end compared to where?



But yeah, it is right near the Market. However, in the long run though, this is closer to the new ground, and (in relation to the development) also on the way from the bus station and a short walk from the train station.

Obviously, costs are the biggest justification, but for floating buyers on a match day, it kills the apathy of "eugh, walking through town"

those people wind me up so much! there was literally 6 people today with clipboards trying to stop people.... ahhh

anyway that mistake really is shocking! and the location of the shop is rubbish, which is partly the reason i've never even been inside.
