    In the Swindon store they have stuck up little notcies saying "closed for re-branding".

    The only bargain I found were the new Liverpool Away shorts for £9.99 (normally £19.99)

    Not keen on their returns policy. Will only give credit note unless the item is faulty so if you buy something which does not fit you are stuck with buying something else from there.



    Isn't that illegal? :confused:
    When it comes to thought, some people stop at nothing.........

    No. No store has to give a refund unless goods are faulty. Retailers refund unsuitable goods purely through 'goodwill'.
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I spoke to someone in a store who told me there not really closing down just re-branding. So I think there clearing certain brands such as Fila, Umbro etc. Then re-opening under a new name with only makes like Nike.
