Let them, we should have a brand new one in the town centre AND portable tents/vans around the ground.

The stadium is Wigan Athletics', we're mere tennants. Unfortunately, Ian Lenegan is happy with this and is the only thing I can disagree with him.

we'll be having one in the lounge under the east stand aswell as trailers outside before every match.

Don't think there has ever been another time when the town has been so divided.

This is one reason why the football will struggle to increase attendances.
Only 21K against Liverpool the other night (with over 5,000 Liverpool fans)....tut tut.

it says theyve APPLIED for planning permission.......it doesnt say they have it.

iirc when the JJB was originally built planning permission for a shop was refused.
but that was when whelan owned JJB.

so i reckon if enough folk object to it on the grounds of bias, we might find enough councillors with the guts to turn it down unless its a joint venture with warriors.

everyone get writing to the planning dept.

The WEP talks about other planned Wigan Athletic developments at the JJB

I am fine re ground sharing. Being treated like mugs I am not.

Who cares, really? Let 'em have it.

Just read that in the WEP, i think you will find its more of us missing the boat.

I would rather stick with Mick Hogans view to get a store in the centre of town, commercially would be much better.

Will they be filling the shop with Liverpool and United tops to satisfy 80% of the Wigan football supporting public.

Yes I agree a town centre store will be commercially better, depending on the rent. But we are making do with sellers inside the south stand why cant the stadium store be dual use?

"The supporters deserve a club shop they can be proud of."

DESERVE!!!

Got to be the most laughable comment i have ever heard, unless he is referring to the 1,000 who used to turn up every week watching them 10 years ago.

They will all have their United and City tops back on as soon as they get relegated.

That 5,000 was just in the South Stand, how many had Liverpool tops on under their jackets in the home stands.

It's got nothing to do with me!

Indeed. In fact this is one of the reasons why there is trouble year after year in the East Stand for this particular fixture.

A shop is well overdue for both clubs. Whelan decides to put the Latics one at the stadium, fine - I'm sure it will do well.

Having the opportunity to buy rugby merchandise at the stadium and at an outlet in the town centre seems about right to me.
