Wigan Athletic-third club shop to open
Started by: jay_1 (3845) Report abuse
According the Oldtreeandcrown website.A great source for all Latics news.

'Wigan Athletic are to launch a new merchandise store tomorrow evening

The store is situated in the East Stand and is called 'Latics East'. Launch time is 6pm on Tuesday and to celebrate the club will be selling adult replica home and away shirts for £25 for one night only!

The club has also announced that sales were particularly good over the Christmas period and the club shop at the Galleries, 'Latics WN1' is to remain open. The official club merchandise store located in the West Stand will also remain in situ.

The club now has three merchandise venues, two of which are at the stadium. Let's support the club in this venture and for those who are interested here are some bargains to be had at the stores...

The massive Winter sale continues at the Club Shop, Latics WN1 and Latics East!'

Well done to the people of Wigan for getting behind the Latics.

Sometimes we can all unite and say well done to the sporting institution which is Wigan Athletic.

Why do you need two merchandise shops at the stadium? Is that for folks who walk across the canal, and one for them who come off Worsley Hall?

Demand TOM.

Great news though.

I like reading about success for both the town teams.Honestly.

WN1 will close before the end of summer 2010.... no arguments just wait and see.... Sales were well below those expected.

Your not saying that from a biased point of view are you Darren..

We'll have new kitt launch in the summer dont forget..

Just congratuate Wigan Athletic on this good news.Go on..you know you want too.


Who do i believe here..the editor of the oldtreeandcrown who has a track record of breaking club news.Or the compulsive bull****** known as Darren.

Its a tough one for me.

No worries Darren.

Hope youve kept hold of that terraced house.Been in the Grand Arcade a couple of times.Just a bored girl behind the counter painting her nails,nowt else to do in there.

 Sales at Warriors World are doing very well.... location location location jay..... Shame the latics did not think about that hey..... Never mind lad.

Posted by: jay_1 (3845) Report abuse

Not what i hear.Too many out of town fans.

You'd have been better with a stadium shop,its the only time a lot of Warriors fans come to Wigan.

how do you know every tning about latics

Posted by: bluesfan (904)  Report abuse
Why does everything about latics on this messageboard have to be dragged down? Lighten up latics haters!

Good news indeed about the club shops

Posted by: jay_1 (3845) Report abuse
Great news bluesfan.

Darren doesnt seem able to celebrate any good news about the Latics..

Hate isnt nice to see.

Posted by: townofmemories (3261)  Report abuse
I personally don't think it is. Open another shop, yeah, great, but why have two in the stadium? Surely it could be put to better use elsewhere, or is there a swizz going on with Mr Whelan paying himself rent, like that interest free loan he pays to himself from the Latics coffers?

Posted by: jay_1 (3845) Report abuse
Demand TOM..

Wigan Athletic have indeed come a long way.

Posted by: townofmemories (3261)  Report abuse
Jay, fair enough, but why another at the stadium?

Posted by: jay_1 (3845) Report abuse
The east is the busiest stand i suppose.

If your walking over the bridge(like most of our support do) you dont pass the club shop.

Posted by: danni (21233)  Report abuse
 Darren doesnt celebrate any good news about anything he is the original mister miserable

Posted by: bryanp121 (710) Report abuse
 great news for the people of wigan, latics are on the up

Posted by: townofmemories (3261)  Report abuse
Which is the stand that backs onto the Canal?

Posted by: latics77 (289) Report abuse
It's good to see how in recent years Latics fans have become self-confident about their club and nonplussed about the rugby. By contrast the Latics obsession on the Warriors side has now passed from banter to wishing the club didn't exist for many.

Here's an idea, put your rent money, fan donations and your (apparently) mega rich chairmans money towards building your own stadium?

Posted by: townofmemories (3261)  Report abuse
Latics, I for one wish we still had Central Park.

Posted by: marken (242) Report abuse
The east stand backs on to the canal. I would imagine that the east stand shop will only be open on match days.

Posted by: tommy c (303)  Report abuse
is the east stand the billy b stand

Posted by: gricer (1983) Report abuse
Good, prehaps they will be able to sell some of the unsold merchantise from their shop in the Galleries which is always empty when I pass it!

Posted by: nicko (2009)  Report abuse
 Darren would normally say WN1 will close within the 1st year
FACT!and that means its true (in Daeeens world)

'Good, prehaps they will be able to sell some of the unsold merchantise from their shop in the Galleries which is always empty when I pass.'

Time to change the record.

Posted by: townofmemories (3261)  Report abuse
Why not move the shop to the east stand, instead of making two shops, with twice the overheads? I smell rent fiddling going on...
