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!

While you say you wish you knew the budgets, it is worth bearing in mind that Saints considered their town centre store a success, however, still saw fit to move from one that cost £70,000 PA to £30,000 just down the road.

Its near B&M now isn't it? The ar$e end of the shopping centre, still £40k is a huge rental saving.

IL isn't going to pay for shop space when he's got Warriors World under lease for free for God knows how long.

He and Mick Hogan have already said that it's something that they'd like to pursue.

Ar$£ end compared to where?

But yeah, it is right near the Market. However, in the long run though, this is closer to the new ground, and (in relation to the development) also on the way from the bus station and a short walk from the train station.

Obviously, costs are the biggest justification, but for floating buyers on a match day, it kills the apathy of "eugh, walking through town"
