JJB wont go bust more downsize until the storm is over. There are areas where JJB have sold to SD.com or closed and SDs takings have gone up 25% so it benefits that company.

JJB will probably close smaller stores like Leigh and focus on their top 50% of shops streamlining their products. They are currently building a partnership with Adidas and Nike to revamp areas of the shop to accomodate new clothing and footwear. Its going to be tough but they will get through it, thats if they have balls and cut losses quickly.

I suppose it depends if they've been paid up front like us. If they haven't then I suppose it means going finding another sponsor ASAP. If they have been paid up front then they're quids in if they decide to find another sponsor.

JJB are announcing a sponsorship of dart player Phil "the power" Taylor in the Observer so can't be so hard up.

darts players are probably cheaper than a stadium or a football team, even if it is Phil 'The Power'
