The only stuff on there I like, and buy every now & again, are from the off-field range.

That's when they actually have my size in stock.

I was in Wigans shop on Saturday and I can tell you that I would sooner have our gear and shops compèred to theirs,the merchandise was dire and the shop is about the same size of our one outside St Stephens in their main shopping centre right at the back.

Whenever I've been in the shop I've been impressed with the range of stuff available TBH. Some of it isn't to my taste but I'm not arrogant enough to call everything I don't personally like 'crap'.

As far as the jackets are concerned - I wouldn't buy one myself but I'm old enough to remember when that style of jacket was popular and they are being marketed as Retro. Don't see the problem TBH.

Agreed, Kosh. I follow the line that if I don't like something I don't buy it.

I've probably spent more in the club shop in the last twelve months than most previous years. Some smart polo shirts available, for example. I think the t-shirts tend to be a bit cheesy and over-priced, they could definitely be improved. Overall the mechandise is pretty good. The stadium shop always seems to be doing a good trade.
