hi, i know your thread is a couple of years old, but just wanted to say that sports direct at the lakeside retail park (not the one inside lakeside itself) near blacks and currys etc. The service at this store is ridiculous, on every occasion Ive shopped there whether its clothes to equipment, every single item ive bought from there has developed a problem, and the manager there some geezer called dennis (chinesey or phillipino looking) is a complete idiot, he almost smirks at you when he denies you your money back, makes you wanna smack him 1 in the mouth! anyway i have decided not to spend my cash at this shop anymore, purely for my own sanity, yes the gear they sell is cheap and a fraction of the price of some high street stores, but im sure the company's buyers are getting 2nds into their stores and not telling the customers, the products are shoddy. you have been warned:-x:-x:-x:-x:mad2::mad2::mad2::x:x:x:x:x
