jjb goes to the wall
 

jjb will go to the wall on wednesday is the news.heard from a more than reliable source at ibrox today..rangers have already took most of their stock back to the megastore at ibrox and the deal with jjb is dead as the administrators are going in on wednesday...:(

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

O dear not good, why do they insist on getting bigger and bigger?

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Same thing happened to that firm owned by the guy who owns Newcastle, was it All Sports or something. I know they used to do the merchandising for Rovers stores, but they've gone back to doing their own again

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Not a good thing at all this bit of news. It seems that the sports wear we used to buy is now a luxury we can do without.

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Perhaps if England won/qualified for something sales might pick up

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

perhaps if sports brands didnt charge 10x as much as an equivelent shirt of the same quality simply because their logo is on it people would be preppared to buy the clothing

with all the cheaper alternatives which are still good quality available people especially these days are reluctant to fork out an extra £40 on a t-shirt just because it has a nike logo or whatever on it

seen as they only pay about £2 per week wages to get these items made anyway they could easily reduce prices enough to compete wit cheaper brands

my lad wanted a pair of nike trainers until i pointed out to him that for the same money he could have a cheaper pair and a game for his xbox 360:)

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Maybe if England's Shirts wasn't £50 a throw might help too wadey, I think the latest one is something like the sixty fifth to be issued, daft to me

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

i reackon england shoudlntbe allowed to change their strip again until they win either the european cup or teh world cup.


mind you they woudl have to make teh shirts out of teflon to ensure they lastedlong enough

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Good - there will be fewer folk about wearing sports clothing as streetwear
I never understood why anyone would want to walk about with a big number on their back
"is that your age or your shoe size?"

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Not a very nice attitude. So your glad that hundreds, possibly thousands of people will be out of work? :mad:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

heard another rumour dave whelan might buy the profitable ones back and rebrand..seems a bit dodgy to me ..i mean shady..

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

nope perectly legal , the buisness wentto the wall not the owner so he is entitled to buy stock back under a new company , i think if you can come up with a better offer than him the recievers woudl let you have the stock etc

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

depends which auctions they send the stock to..only if they were franchised i could make a quick buck:rolleyes::)

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

sad situation really either way with so many potentially losing their jobs

and its not really JJB's fault that nike want thier TN's sold at 99.99

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

There should be rules to stop owners buying stock back from a bankruptcy if it's their company that went bust. As it happens I'm fairly certain Whelan hasn't had JJB shares for a while.


Hardly an innocent company, they were fined millions for price fixing.:rolleyes:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

This could mean a very big & empty store in Accy.How or who is gonna fill that??.More tumbleweed blowing along broadway:(

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

why not stick that druggie and alcholic center there seen as accy center is where they sit most of the day anyway :rolleyes:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Oh dear - I hoped to start 'sitting' soon:eek:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

It may be a big store but because of it's upper level location it will probably be the least noticed as being empty

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Margaret - does nastiness come naturally to you or do you think about what you say to provoke reaction? You are unbelievable

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

It's my quirky sense of humour ;)
Life is a joke when you stand back and look

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

I assumed it was tongue in cheek. The number 21 on my shirt doesn't match the size 8 label in my shoes, so it must be my age :D

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Is your birthday the 29th of Feb dave:D

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

With those massive shutters permanently down i think people will finally click that it's another empty store :rolleyes:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Oh dear and another company bites the dust. Accrington will be soon be a ghost town.

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

It hasn't bitten the dust yet, and according to the latest news is likely to be saved if Whelan buys the fitness club side of the business.

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

well i thought it was in good humour Margaret.............:rolleyes:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

surely the two big ones in Blackburn wont be shutting down...will they? the soccer dome and the fitness suite?

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

I believe the shop in the soccerdome has been closed for some time......

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

has it really? i havent been in in ages, never knew

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

I`ve never been in but somebody i work with uses the gym there and i`m sure thats what he said......i may stand corrected though:rolleyes:

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

i dunno, like i said, i never knew

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

Shouldn't it be: "is that your IQ or your shoe size"?:confused:

Just thought that if I wanted make a real fashion statement at the sports bar, I should try and get myself an Accrington Stanley shirt:D

Re: jjb goes to the wall
 

If you do get one (on line shop) don't make my mistake and get a big size, they are rather loose fitting :D
