    Thanks for the heads up but even with up to 80% off it is still overpriced tat and they are making a huge profit .

    The guy that owns it bought up loads of old brands and has them mass produced in third world sweat shops . Sub Primark quality !

    looking at the 90% section (which I asume you pay 10p in the pound), surely the footie shorts having being £12.99 should be £1.21sh, or the Mudyfox shirt supposedly once priced at £26.99 should be £2.62?

    It says 'up to 90%' so doesn't have to be 90%

  • sorry to but in but the op is only letting people know about the sale and I find it really bad that you all complained about sports direct with out even acknowledging them. Thw only one who did is shammyjack and even a board guide is on here doing the same. No wonder people are put off posting.
    I dont shop at sports direct but would like to say thank you to scrooze 247 foir the post.
    sorry rant over it just made me annoyed.

    Well said Carol. This is a grab it thread so if people don't like a firm they needn't bother reading.

    Thanks op, off to have a look now.

    Carol, most people know Sports Direct sell complete rubbish at hugely discounted prices all year round.

    It didn't put you off posting, did it.

    Thanks OP for the original post, but to be honest I'm also grateful for the heads up about working conditions. I love a bargain and was happy to click for some new running gear, but didn't because I then learned about the way their staff are treated.

    It's not so helpful just slating something for being cheap rubbish but I don't mind being told about something important that affects whether I buy or not.

    I don't need a bargain so badly that I'll support exploitation of workers, but thanks anyway OP.
