Not just away fans. Casual shoppers will doubtless pop in whilst they're on Robin Park. Something that won't be happenning at the min due to the shop's bad location.

The only positive is that it's near what was 10 years ago, Central Park. That's it. They call it a town centre shop, but it isn't really. If you were shopping in the town centre, yu wouldn't go in, unless you made a special trip. Their passing trade must be virtually zero

Absolutely, last couple of seasons my lass has bought me a shirt as a Crimble present, she can't get one from a game cos I'll be there (plus we're in the bloody season).

Instead I shall be bookmarking [urlhttp://www.rugbyleaguelegends.com[/url as a hint this year.

The thing is (and at the risk of giving Pemps a big head) Wigan SHOULD be looking to stock some of Pemps' stuff, even though it's unofficial. It would sell well. That, and access to Micron Video's back catalogue, and all the stuff that Kooga have released as merchandise. I'm sure Wiganers would prefer to buy from the club, wouldn't they?

Burnley FC's club shop was seriously nowhere near as good as the independent one in the town.
That might explain somethibng.

Oh dear, if thats true I wonder if they checked him out fully, before they appointed him?
You would have thought someone would have gone over to have a look at what he,d been responsible for??

Actually yes, especially if a bit of it was going back into the club.

[size=200Are you reading this Mick????[/size

All depends where they are prioritising their time, maybe they've taken a step back and assessing the problems for the first month. From the changes that Hogan has already implemented i'd say they 100% know about staffing ability and the lack of potential at the current location to increase revenue and are using their time to look at the bigger picture.

I hope so anyhow, don't want to be listening to a mothers meeting and bitching about Wigan Rugby League Club again!!

EDIT:- Not sure how i've managed to quote MStiggy under my name

He'll be calling you about it shortly.






=whiteBet you're listed as 'My Bitch' on his phone

Something I have been banging on about for years!!!!!!!!

Plus we should re-introduce a Season Review with highlights (although I can see them charging us £15 a blank disk at this rate)!!!!

Wasnt the offical thread that this was stopped because people were copying the discs from each other,,,,,,,,,, that damm computer age

It was, but I say Bollock$.

Most supporters would pay full retail if they knew a good % was going to the club. Wire still do a Season Review as I saw the DVD cover when I went to their club to buy tickets to the friendly, so it must pay!!

32 Wallgate is on there listed as available at £40k but that is Baa Bar, surely it isn't due for closing?

Three floors and bar facilities too, hmmm...

My understanding is it will be closing shortly.

Ground Floor: Bar/Cafe
1st Floor: Retail shop
2nd Floor: Museum

£40k p/a rent, job's a good 'un

LOL but we bought one every year. My 10 year old still emulates Jason Robinsons's try celebrations from the 1998 season. He wasn't even born and he can tell you the score from each game, who played, who scored etc, and he treasures his signed Andy Farrell one from 2001.

These are the kinds of things our kids should be being brought up on.

Great idea!

Far too radical......

They met for dinner yesterday. The Wheels are in motion.

I had a whopper with cheese

Yes Pemps - But what about the food ???

i hope its closing. absolute hole

I like that! Although I can never see that happening unfortunately.

There's cracking shop going on [size=150GIDLOW LANE for £7,500pa[/size, and seeing as it used to be owned by Micron Video, it would be a bit of a homecoming, of sorts.

Ahem
