JJB Sports, the sports retailer and health club operator facing a possible takeover bid, saw a 'significant' improvement in its stores' profit performance during the second half of the year with a boost from Nike and Adidas deals.  Non-executive chairman Roger Lane Smith said he was 'pleased with JJB's trading performance throughout the current accounting period, including Christmas and the New Year'. He added that distribution deals with Nike and Adidas had enabled the company to concentrate on the sport side rather than leisure wear and continue the roll-out of its combined health club superstores.

Football fans who were unlawfully overcharged for replica shirts were urged this morning to join an unprecedented £20 million compensation claim against JJB Sports. The retailer has already been fined £6.7 million by the Office of Fair Trading for running a cartel that unlawfully fixed the price of England and Manchester United shirts in 2000 and 2001. Now the consumers’ group Which? is urging people who bought specified shirts to join a legal a representative action being launched at the Competition Appeals Tribunal. The campaign group believes that as many as a million people could have been overcharged between £15 and £20 for the replica shirts. Few people will have kept their receipts, but Ingrid Gubbay, a lawyer at Which?, said she hoped the tribunal would take a "benevolent attitude" towards the evidence. Photographs might be acceptable, credit card statements or even a "statement of truth" — the modern equivalent of a sworn statement — though anyone who deliberately made a false claim would be guilty of perjury. She said that consumers who registered their claims through the organisation’s website were at no risk of being ordered to pay costs if the action failed. Although the consumers’ group is planning to launch legal action against JJB Sports, it will cover shirts bought from that retailer and the six other companies involved in the cartel — Allsports, Blacks Leisure Group, Manchester United, Sports Soccer, JD Sports and Umbro Holdings.
