Talk:JJB Sports

Establishment
How can you say JJB 'started life' in 1971, and then on the next line say the original store was opened in the 1900's?Stev17 09:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

what does JJB stand for?

The original store was established by JJ Broughton in the early 1900's and was then bought by JJ Braddock and then JJ Bradburn. As these initials were all the same the business was known locally as JJB's. When David Whelan bought the store from John Bradburn he maintained the JJB name.

Dave Whelan is not the founder of JJB's. As the article says,  he bought it as a long-standing going concern and promoted it from there, expanding through his own supermarket chain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.90.16 (talk) 00:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jjblogo.gif
Image:Jjblogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
