    Here is the list of remaining stores.

    SAVED: THE JJB STORES THAT SURVIVE
    Airdrie - 12 staff
    Antrim - 10
    Brighton - 21
    Chorley - 7
    Cumbernauld - 11
    Dorchester - 9
    Dover - 12
    Elgin - 12
    Glasgow Silverburn - 25
    Leamington Spa - 18
    Leeds - 11
    Lisburn - 27

    Londonderry - 28
    Oldbury - 22
    Rhyl - 11
    Rochdale - 16
    West Bromwich - 18
    Winchester - 9

    All other stores have now closed. Stock from all other stores has been sent to the above stores.
  • 50% off everything at the Airdrie JJB but the queue's are between 2-6hrs depending on when you go so be prepared too wait for your bargain I went yesterday and the missus went today lol.
  • JJB website is obviously being run by Sports Direct as the site has changed and now is the same as Sports Direct - so beware of artificiallly high RRP's.

    & utterly useless customer service!
  • I wouldn't order personally I placed order last week after seeing store was open (no closing down signs) for collection in store. Gone down the town today it's closed down and i have no idea how to collect my order or why it let me choose the store? I have no order history on the website either they have wiped it.
    Anyone any idea if i'll ever see my order or money?
    Hi,

    Not sure how you got on with this, but i wouldnt hesitate, just contact the payment company (PayPal, Credit, Debit Card) and i am certain they will just recredit your account and deal with JJB accordingly.
  • Yep it's just sports direct stuff, with their usual 90% off, laugh most of the stuff arrives from the supplier with the 90% labels on.

    only items from brands they own come with the discounted prices already attached, as well as having the barcodes in the wash label.

    Brands such as Nike, Adidas, Puma etc (usually more expensive items) are priced at head office, by hand!

    As for the 50% sale, i believe it's in stores which are still open (only 20 stores i think).
    stock from closed stores is being distributed between SportsDirect stores and JJB stores, as certain products are JJB branded so obviously cant be sold out of a SportsDirect store.

    I've spent the last 3 days clearing JJB stores as i work for SD.
  • Went to the one in Rochdale last night and they were still bringing loads of stuff in, football shirts, clothes, bikes and golfing items. Queued for about 40 minutes called back in this morning for kids trainers got there about 9am and the shop was empty got a pair of kids adidas trainers and a pair of nike trainers for twenty one pound -happy bunny.

    Think the number 10 beside the Antrim store refers to number of staff. News stated that only 3 stores left in NI - Antrim, Lisburn, L'Derry. Stock from other stores has gone to these stores for clearance.:j

    Ah right thanks for that. Looks like I'm not going to JJB sports after all then as there is none in Belfast anymore :( Raging too as that's the only place I ever went to for my track bottoms and my trainers
