There's cracking shop going on GIDLOW LANE for £7,500pa, and seeing as it used to be owned by Micron Video, it would be a bit of a homecoming, of sorts.

Ahem

Do you pay to advertise on here?

I'm not advertising my "SHOP ON GIDLOW LANE FOR ONLY £7,500 PER ANNUM - BARGAIN", just making the club aware of its existence

Be ideal for you, that Pemps.

Tell you what, lets ignore all commercial merits and keep the old lotto agents happy instead.

That's crazy.

Why can't the lotto be run from the JJB in one of their undoubtedly very secure offices? Or even if it does move to the 'new' club shop, what's to stop the lotto agents going there? it makes zero difference.

And if the club own the existing shop, great. They can make £150k by selling it. Or £10k a year by renting it to me.

1. a lot of agents would find the JJB hard to get to, therefore losing agents
2. i dont think you appreciate the amount of revenue the agents bring into the club.......thats why the club go out of their way to keep them happy
3. why not keep the lotto office going ....its also an outlet for tickets for those who cant get to the JJB
4. new shop selling merchandise ......brilliant idea......but lets have the shop concentrating on merchandise and not lotto agents paying in as well. Keep the 2 things seperate.

no.....but how do you expect public transport users to go down there??

tbh..if they had to fork out extra bus fare the job wouldnt be worth doing with what they earn in commission.

anyway Robinson.....dont you think my idea of keeping the 2 things in seperate buildings will help eradicate the cock ups we are now witnessing on our merchandise?

let Gordon run his lotto in the present building, and lets get somebody in the new shop who knows the retail trade.....simple.

They'd get the bus like they did before, what else would they do?

What a load of rubbish. There's virtually no difference in price to get to Tesco, than to get the Robin Park on the bus from virtually anywhere in Wigan.

As I said before, if you're happy with a rubbish shop in a rubbish location, with rubbish staff, then go ahead. You're in the vast minority though.

No. Having them both in the same building will mean that less is spent on overheads, such as rent, rates, heat, light... You may as well get a pile of £20 notes and set fire to them, as have two separate buildings.

No reason why they cannot have separate offices within the same building to look after their own thing. It's what the majority of businesses do.
