JJB Stadium Name Change?

[cpwigan]

As we all know JJB are not renewing their sponsorship with Wigan RLFC. However, the WEP mentions that they are also willing to relinquish sponsorship of WAFC and that the stadium naming may be looked at also.

Cheers. If you get the WEP, it is on the Latics page about 3 pages in from the back page.

I would definitely start by removing the flags outside the ground labelling it "FORTRESS JJB", just to avoid further embarassment.

Haven't JJB closed something like 75 stores Country-wide? With the economic "downturn", hitting the general population, it is the non-essential items that are "cut-back" on first. Could this be seen in the clothing (and to this point) sports retail industry?? :doz:

Also reading us out as 18th man every game is a bit sad really. Gesture appreciated but lets just leave it as a gesture.

I have said this at the game too - would FAAAR prefer a player in the Number 18 shirt

Sports Direct profits have risen

I think the company who bought JJB are closing down the JJB stores and replacing them with another company they own.

If JJB stores are closing for what ever reason it is more likely they will end the sponsorship deal with Wigan Athletic and the JJB stadium.
