Is now on sale in the club shop…………..
….priced at £18.99!
For that price, it can stay in the club shop as well. No need to be so expensive. He could have it at half the price, and probably sell twice as many, as the money is going towards the new Boys club venture, he’s doing.
Also looked at the new away shirt in there. Bloody awful. Loads plucked already. Looked good on the players at PNE. Looks crap up close.

Only £15 in Waterstone’s
Ah , he may say he wants £18.99 for it but I’ve just bought mine for £12 .50 plus £3 in add ons !!! :?
Cover price is £18.99.
I still think £15 is too much.
If he did have it at half price and sold twice as many then he’s no better or worse off.Exactly.
He says he’s giving ALL the proceeds to the new club venture, so I’m surprised that a ban of his business ability has not thought about the price more. He’d sell more at a lower price, and possibly end up making more money, than he will at this expensive price. Let’s be honest, at this moment in time, people will be hard pushed to spend £18.99 on a local millionaires autobiography. Young street urchin, get’s a break in sport, works hard to get success…..(Jesus, is this Karate Kid?)….suffers a bad injury, ends up having to pack up through it, gets compensation, buys a market stall, then a shop, then some bigger shops, then a football club, helps them have great success, and bingo, the story is over.
I’d like to read his story, but not to the sum of £18.99.
Ive started it, its an alrite read! apart from were he says rugbys still the number 1 sport in the town!

Too reet it can stay there, I’m not goin in the club shop until that egg s***e is removed.

For that comment alone, I will not be buying it. F**k**g ‘ell Whelan you don’t half p**s me off.If that’s right about what he’s said in the book, then it just goes to show what the old coont really thinks of us. And he wants more supporters? Get f**ked.
Yes, it IS a joke that they’ve wormed their way in the club shop, despite it being a venture operated by OUR kit manufacturer. Quite bizarre, really.
One thing I WILL, and HAVE to give the rugby credit for, is something I heard advertised on the radio before that Leeds game a couple of weeks back. They advertised the fact that souvenir ‘trailers’ would be open behind the South stand and that replica shirts, home and away, could be purchased at the special price of only £20. (Normally £42)
Personally, I think that’s a great thing. And it would be a great thing if Latics did something similar, perhaps 3 quarters of a way through the season, or something. We knock the rugby, but sometimes their off the field operations put us to shame.
I’ll not hold my breath, like. And anyway, our kit is absolutely shocking. There are black kids running around in Africa, kicking a ball of rags, wearing better made tops.
And i’m sure if they started selling the kit at half price halfway through the season that you’d, along with many others, probably be one of the first to spit the dummy out about how you paid full price a few weeks back etc etc and how the TRUE fans who bought the shirt early were now being shat on from a great height.
Probably end up with you going to watch a PROPER club like Everton or summat.
When we had a proper kit manufacturer like Adidas or Umbro we expected better quality and therefore perhaps a highish cost.
Now we have a tin pot manufacturer we have got poor quality and that is to be expected really.
What we don’t expect or deserve though is the ridiculous high cost of such poor quality garments.
Feck to selling them for half price in the future, they should be half the price they are to start with.I was in t`club shop this mornin and there is fook all thugby stuff in there….
Mind you,whats in there is bloody pricey!

I’m not taking your word for it, I’ll have a look though the window and if what you say turns out to be true, then I might just pop in.
If there are thugby things in there, I’ll track you down.Ive started it, its an alrite read! apart from were he says rugbys still the number 1 sport in the town!:lol: :lol: :lol:
Jesus wept, do you all live in goldfish bowls or something? Truth is, rugby is and always has been number one sport in this town and is in temporary recess during our sojourn in the big league, like it or not.
The size and attitude of the crowd the other night reinforced that opinion. I don’t have a great amount of time for Dave Whelan, his views, his business ethics or his bulls**t but at least he can see reality and outside of the goldfish bowl when he states facts like ‘Wigan is a rugby town’, unlike your average ‘hardcore’ Latics fan and God forbid, there ain’t many true ones left.
Wigan Athletic’s existence in the big league is fragile. Top level Rugby League, minority sport that it is, has been in the town a century.
Facts are facts. Sheep.
