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.

Surly one in the town centre would be better, and just set up stalls on the 14 or so days that we actually have a match at the stadium.

Wooooooow

Thats it were doomed. the towns finally turned blue .how will we ever survive knowing the tics have a shop in the stadium

we have warriors world, and surely a shop at the stadium would benefit fans who go down to buy tickets.

what is the problem with stocking the shop with both teams merchandise?

has whelan got the monk on because hes not creaming owt off our shirt sales?

I agree with that totally.

It has always been ridiculous that the football team has not had a club shop and has had so little for it fans to buy, clubs a couple of leagues down have more for pitys sakes!!

That said I hope that we do have a shop in the town centre imo the current shop is way too small. If we did have a shop in the town centre the facility to sell tickets for our games would be something I think the club should consider.

doesnt this bit of the article set the alarm bells ringing??

Further announcements on future developments are expected to be made, "as the club looks to establish itself further as a Premier League property", the statement said

paint the stadium blue and white?
remove the red seats and replace with blue?
football posts a permanent fixture?

got me worrying

Who cares where our shop is, and what the latics are doing. We are Wigan RL and we have a history to be proud of, latics will have afew more years in the premiership and then get relegated and no one will give them a big money take over because the crowds are not big enough, they will become a very average side in the championship.

Some people have some very short memories when it comes to crowds. We went from getting 3 or 4 thousand a game at the start of the 80s in the second division to getting 14 or 15 thousand 10 years later, yet some are criticising the Latics support for pretty much the same thing that happened to us.

Yet another thread where some people's enormous insecurity about the Latics is there for all to see. I really don't know why some are threatened by them?

Exatly, like the one they used to have in the soccer dome thing that was the official club shop of both teams

They should set up shop in t'Market Gate!

Playing our home game at Widnes was just the start.

Some people seem totally oblivious to this fact.

Soon there might only be one team in Wigan, and at the moment DW is doing his upmost to make sure its Wigan Athletic.

Can some mad billionaire just buy the Latics and relocate them to Alaska or something?

I must say it was humbling to see the vast ocean of Blue and White all around the approaches to the JJB on Wednesday night.

Not.

Ermm.... what will happen if JJB does end up closing down?
