That rumoured 500k asking price for the chippy is correct, to my understanding. They’ve tried for a little while to shift it and are having absolutely zero joy.

Other than a property developer, who would want it?

For me, either Lenagan buys it as the leagues club style museum he has always wanted or we end up with a nandos or something.

Half a million quid for chippie?

No wonder they’ve had no interest

Did it ever make any money that chippy? I don't think it did due to the fact Sharpey's nickname was 'failed chippy mon' IIRC.

Nando’s is already going onto Robin Park, in a matter of months. It’s half built.
There are very few options for a building of its size, in a crap location for anything other than matchday.

I vaguely remember a news story about a manager or supervisor stealing which contributed to the chippy's demise.

Edit - that did happen but only £6k so probably not the main reason.

Just exactly what Wigan needs, another crap food place taking up parking space.

Excellent trolling again...

So if you don't like the place then it's a no. That's regardless of if they place is full all week and other people want to go.

You've labelled it crap, so there we go.

The main reason is that it was borderline robbery it was that over priced. It could have been utilised and priced so much better.

I don’t see why IL would want it either to be honest. A Wigan RL museum? Might be nice in the short term but realistically who’s going to go to it? It just wouldn’t be commercially viable IMO.
