Next time you and your pals wanna talk about it, how about join it instead of mocking it and comparing it against others.
It is run properly and all of those who pay into it choose to do so for the love of the club we support. There are also plenty paying into it who could find something much better to spend their money on...myself included. The problem with playershare and Latics fans is, there is always an excuse. I bet there are loads of people who come on here talking about how much they want the club to sign new players, but can't even go through the webshop when they spend online.
If you can't afford to join it, that's fair enough but at least click on the webshop link so that when you spend online playershare get's some money.
