Sports Direct

Sports goods shop, with reasonably priced sports wear. Selection of rugby equipment is a bit limited but we found what we wanted.

Helpful staff. Large range of footwear for men, women & kids. Good discounts on end of range/last year's trainers. Up to 50% off the original price. Track suits, shirts, shorts and sports equipment are also available.

Went for football boots and trainers and could not find any staff to help me. Had to go downstairs to get someone to radio someone else upstairs to assist, who was utterly dreadful. Absolutely uninterested they went into the back to find a pair of football boots in my size the second I mentioned one, completely ignoring that I was also looking for trainers, or would want to try multiple. They handed me the shoes and walked away barely saying a word and did not come back to check they were okay, or whether I wanted anything else. Every other sports direct I had been to there are always people on hand to help you out. This one, everyone was clearly unhappy in their work, and just wanted you out the door with the very limited stock they had on the shelves

I bought a pair of Skechers from this shop a few weeks ago. I have had a few pairs of Skechers in the past and they have always been of good quality. Sadly this pair are peeling so I emailed Skechers with photos and they advised me to take them back to the store. The young staff in there are always polite and one went to get a female manager. She accused me of lying and said that I have put them through the washing machine. I insisted this was not the case but she accused me of lying. She said your "Mrs" must have done it then and said she would not exchange or refund. I have spent so much money in that shop over the years and it had always been a pleasure to go in there but I will never go in there again. Please avoid.

Always ok but never outstanding. You know what you're getting although they have a better choice online (bit of a con as you either get a short dated voucher or delivery charge). Staff always seem under pressure or with some it's a trouble to help, this could be improved.
