I pass this shop on my way home from work everyday but never call in unless looking for trainers. I called in yesterday looking for a cheap T-shirt and I couldn`t believe that not one item of Wigan RL clothing was for sale in fact there was not even any Rugby League shirts anywhere. They did have Sale and Four nations Ra Ra paraphernalia on sale as well as this seasons Latics shirts with name and number for £15. Think this is a case of cutting off ones nose to spite ones face. No wonder they are in trouble!

Maybe because we are no longer sponsered by JJB anymore and they no longer make any clothing for us.

Won't be around much longer i'm afraid.

Hemmorhaging money like there's no tomorrow.

I keep saying they'll be fine, but nobody listens

I have not seen our club merchandise on sale anywhere but the club shop and mobile units. I think it was said somewhere that our kit would only be available from the club but not sure where i heard or read it.

Same at the one in the Trafford Centre on Wednesday, not a sign of any league stuff at all!

Always used to buy my shirts and other stuff from the one on Middlebrook (Horwich). Will have to see if they still stock the good stuff!

Has everyone been living under a rock? It's been announced that JJB won't be stocking Wigan RL gear.

Kooga sell the stuff to Wigan but they can also sell it to whoever they want. If JJB wanted it and they could agree a price with Kooga then they'd sell it. Wigan have no control over who sells their shirts. I enquired about doing it through my site but it's not something I'm bothering with this year. A little late in the day to start selling shirts.

I am now returning to my rock!

It hasn't stopped the club...

united aren't sponsored by jjb or jd sports, but they still stock their shirts.

ROFL, come on its only March and the away shirt isnt out

if it gets much later could we have a latics situation? ... 15 quid name and number included

Thats the exact reason. Why should JJB sell Wigan Warriors shirts? Thier only association with us is that we play at The JJB Stadium.

You would think they would lower the price to lure people into buying it. £42.99 for a shirt thats now over a month late for the start of the season is a bit much.

The same reason they sell Liverpool & Man Utd shirts in Wigan, because they are a popluar item. After all Wigan Warriors, Liverpool & Man Utd are the 3 most popular teams in the town



The real reason is that JJB and Kooga are going through a law suit.

Be honest, where is the higher revenue going to come from?

Man Utd shirts - a global marketing success

Wigan Warriors shirts - a more localized marketing

They won't sell anywhere near the 20,000 they sold last year.

16,000 (approx) of those were sold through JJB.

Did Mick tell you that on the phone?

Maybe

i would say they'd sell quite a few wigan shirts in wigan.
and are you trying to say that most football fans in wigan actually support a team other than the latics?

No he facebook'd him

Hell no, I mean come on, the apparent 20,000+ fans who attend Latics matches obviously went to Springfield Park.

Whats happening with Sports Direct, they were the rumoured stockist. Or it is a case of the shirts still havent arrived in enough bulk.

6,000 of them had a cold and couldn't attend the west ham game midweek
