    Ok fine, if that's your way.

    There's a lot of shops out there that sell so called tat and people don't seem to be disgruntled about them.

    I suppose sports direct buy in a less quality Nike trainer do they?
    Or Adidas?
    Or is it just the cheaper range that all sports shops sell?
    the adidas and nike stuff they sell in the main appear to be the discontinued lines... last seasons... so yep are the cheaper ones.
    for some its the only way they can get the branded stuff their kids would like ..

    And that's why the store is a godsend to many people all over the country and anywhere else it thrives.

    Unfortunately, purely in terms of what SD offers and forgetting about who owns it, Ghost is right about what it offers.

    Even in Newcastle, there are enough folk who don't care enough about NUFC to stop them shopping there.

    He also has hid online store Field and Trek which does good business. He sells tat to the masses but a lot of family’s need to purchase from him.

    I would rather give a competitor 30 quid more but that’s my choice.

    Wait until he turns HoF into House of sports Fraser direct .. Changing contracts to bring in a raft of low paid zero hours contract jobs .

    The man is a disgrace and I wouldn't spend 1p in his tat empire.

    The people for whom tat direct is a "godsend" probably includes a fair percentage of his own staff.
