Wasn't there something similar in about 2005? I remember Adrian Lam's having a B on the end, and jokes about pulling the wool over people's eyes.

A bit to small that one. I think they should have like a megastore galleries would be a good shout also. Somthing that stand out though, so if you get any out of towners (so to speak) doing any saturday shopping. They can see that rugby meens a great deal to us (im now putting away my violin)

The perfect place for me (that is available!) would be the old Anne Summers shop on Standish Gate.

On Wigan's main shopping street bang in the middle of the town centre and perfect size at £80,000 per annum. Perfect size too

I just wish I knew the clubs budget!
