orrell lad
sadly JJB is in very serious trouble and needs to sell its fitness in the next 2 weeks to generate money. they are also letting all the agency staff go from what ive been told.


the icelandic bank that lent JJB money has gone into receivership and the money is being chased by the receivers.

god its like the financial times on here....lol....

Trust me they are in trouble - talking to a senior manager who said they will be here six months max. They have turned all their stock into a jumble sale and sell what the staff call polish clothes

This is Ian Lenagan we are talking about

What is to stop him putting his hand is in his own pocket and using his money to create a lasting legacy of his time at Wigan and buying fitness first etc for the club.

A real fan in the Jack Walker mould would.

I would suggest many of you devoye a greater % of your income to Wigan RL than Ian Lenagan does.

Maybe create a museum / Hall of Fame, there must be loads of shirts, medals, programmes etc out there that need a home, the great history of our club should be celebrated, we should have a place we can visit, it would be a feather in his cap if he made this happen !!

In terms of museums. Alongside the obvious heritage exhibits with technology advancing there are great possibilities in terms of interactive, young people 'toys' Preston's Football Museum has a great you become a MOTD commentator exhibit. Man U / Preston both have beat the keeper exhibits. Imagine a can you replicate Joes drop goal at Maine Road. Passing exhibits.

Did anyone see the pictures in the Post today, I didn't realise the former players lounge was that large, surely there's enough space for both clubs merchandise. I also noticed the club aren't running the shop but Vandanel, whoever they are.

On Matchdays for the rugby the shop will be half filled with rugby merchandise and not on matchdays the shop will have just basic merchandise (shirts etc)

Where did you hear that, and will it be open past regular hours, seeing as most games are Friday night.

Shouldn't this be moved to other sports?

I'm sure one was yesterday by a trigger happy insecure mod.

Really. Fair play to the owners / DW if true.

Opened by Neil Ruddock. I would've thought Latics 'legends' would be queuing up for this honour.

Do they have any legends?
