Sports World

I was in a branch of Sports World in Belfast today and they have hundreds of items of brand name sportswear with 80% off. I got Diadora track bottoms for £3.39 and a Lonsdale T-shirt for £5.

    They're not really brand names.

    Most of the brands in there are now owned by Sports World.

    They are still really cheap though - they often do things with 90% off too!

    They had Reebok, Nike and even some Yves Saint Laurent and Ralph Lauren men's Polo shirts with 70% off
  • Sports World do stock quite a range of branded makes at great prices, such as Nike, Reebok, YSL, Kangoo, Umbro, Fila....

    Diadora products are good quality as I have purchased them in the past and used them for both casual and gym wear. One bargain I got a few years ago is a hooded top which is still in good condition even though I have worn it loads of times.

    They stock a good range of sports equipment. Worth a look if you are after a new racket or golf clubs.

    Another great thing about Sports World is the wide range of sizes that they do.

    The owner has also brought a 3% share in Adidas so expect low priced Adidas goods soon!

    As stated above, SW and Lillywhites (owned by same person) sells a whole load of fitness goods including boxing gloves, footballs, and so forth. The one in Piccadilly Circus, London is great!

    What a silly thing to say...!

    It's fine for sports equipment, etc. I now have some decent clothing for the gym/running/squash and a decent badminton racket too.

    The Great Declutter Challenge - £876 :)

    That is good to know that they have a shop online.

    P&P does not seem too bad either if you buy a few items.
